Picking an electrician is rarely a simple task. Not only is it difficult to ascertain if they offer a good service, but you also risk them not turning up or ripping you off. Thankfully, James is the perfect combination of quality, reliability, communication, and fair pricing. We are delighted with the job he did replacing and connecting our three exterior lights, as well as the investigation he carried out into an electrical fault in the house. We shall be keeping his number from now on, happy to know there's an electrician we can trust.

Several jobs were completed promptly and in a clean and tidy fashion. Details such as all fittings' screw heads facing one direction was appreciated and marked out attention to such elements. Mr Carmen offered a very competitive estimate along with advice and suggestions for future electrical work.

James removed and installed an electric hob for me today. He gave me a set time to do the job, (a big help particularly this time of the year) and contacted me to say he would be delayed by an hour and would contact me when he was on his way. He did and arrived promptly at the new time. He's a very pleasant man and did a great job, even putting the old hob in the garage out of the way for me. I thought his price was fair and he's also a very tidy worker. I'll certainly use James again when I need electrical work doing and would recommend him to anyone.

Attended first appointment as promised. Detailed discussions about best way to do the job we wanted. Attended on the day promised at the time promised. Official quotes and invoices sent. Cannot recommend enough - a tradesperson who keeps appointments, sticks to his word, helps and advises and does an amazing job. We'll definitely be using again and can heartily recommend him for any electrical work you need doing.

James completed all of the electrical work on our summer house - from digging a ditch to lay cables, through first fix and finally second fix and connection. His advice was first class and the quality of his work is exemplary. We can't recommend highly enough.

We contacted James about a switch for our electric fire which was stuck in position. Although it was a simple job, he replied immediately, gave us a price and a date to replace the switch! Just before he arrived, he phoned to say he was on his way and arrived promptly! James was efficient and friendly. He replaced the switch to our satisfaction and we have asked him to renew our fuse board now because we were so happy with his work! Thank you, James.

James came to add some sockets and an outdoor light, when an existing fault was found with the circuit he diligently traced this back to the source and sorted it all out. Very professional and friendly. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for an electrician!

James and Josh did an excellent job installing five spotlights and an extraction fan in our bathroom. They were both on time, friendly, tidy and kept us informed throughout the process. Would definitely use their services again and highly recommend to anyone who wants dependable electricians.

James is honest and fair and a pleasure to work with. He is conscientious and does the job properly. Very professional and I would certainly recommend James and his team.

James is such a lovely, friendly guy and went above and beyond when helping us with some electrical work in our house. He took the time to explain everything clearly, did a fantastic job with incredible attention to detail, and made sure everywhere was left spotless. We honestly wouldn't use anyone else, he's completely trustworthy and we couldn't recommend him enough! Thank you so much James!

James rewired our house just before Christmas and did an excellent and thorough job. We found him friendly, professional and reliable. He did everything possible to fit in with our needs and minimise disruption particularly in the kitchen. Communication was excellent throughout, James was very good at explaining things clearly particularly when there were minor problems or changes of plan. Definitely my first port of call for future electrical work, and I'd happily recommend him to anyone

We couldn't be more grateful to our good friend and brilliant electrician, James Carman, for the incredible work he's done rewiring our new home. From start to finish, he has gone above and beyond for us — fitting us into his already packed schedule whenever he could and always showing up ready to help, no matter what. His professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job properly have been second to none. It's clear how much pride he takes in his work, and it really shows in the quality of everything he's done. We honestly can't thank him enough for all the support, time, and effort he's put in. We feel so lucky to have had someone we can completely trust take care of such an important part of our home. If you're looking for an electrician who is skilled, reliable, and genuinely cares about his work — look no further.

Peter Cole6 months ago · Google

What a lovely man. I phoned James about my electrics. He asked me to send him a photo of my fuse box and subsequently solved my problem in five minutes. He talked me through what I needed to do and also offered me some extra advice so it wouldn't happen again. Not many James' in the world. A huge thank you James! Will definitely be recommending you to any family, friend etc. 🙏

Deborah Steinberg11 months ago · Google

Excellent Service. James is very professional. He came up and priced job and took the time to explain everything to me. On the day he went through everything again to make sure correct to my wishes. I had a ring door bell fitted and he set it up for me and explained the process clearly. Very pleased with work completed. Will definitely use again.

What a fantastic service! James worked around other tradesmen so that all our work came together seamlessly. The quote was very competitive and the work outstanding. Very friendly and respectful of my property. Would definitely recommend.

Elaine Holda year ago · Google

Absolutely thrilled with our EV charger, that was expertly installed by James and his team! The work was carried out extremely efficiently and to a very high standard. James was exceptionally tidy and a true professional; even managing to fit us in to his very tight schedule, for which we are so grateful. James ensured we had everything we needed to get started with our home charger, including clear and precise instructions. I would highly recommend JCES for any electrical work without hesitation. Thanks James and Josh!

Danielle rushwortha year ago · Google

Just had James and Josh at our house to do some work and what can I say absolute professional from start to finish from first visit to the quote to coming and completing the work, turned up on the day and time they said they would, completely hassle free the workmanship was top quality and good value for money, they were also so tidy not one scrap of mess left anywhere. I would not hesitate to use this company in the future and can highly recommend them, when people ask me do I know any good electricians, well I do now.

DAVID COOKa year ago · Google

James recently replaced a smoke alarm and some light fittings for me. He responded promptly to my initial enquiry and offered advice prior to completing the work. Communication via email was excellent. James is professional and punctual. His work is of a high standard and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable electrician.

Julie Gettingsa year ago · Google

After having my house fuse and meter moved prior to an EV charger install, James wired in the house fuse and distribution box. Their work was of the highest standard, I was advised on the cable routing, he liased with octopus energy, who were moving the smartmeter and checked the house breakers and earth's. James even helped me move the sofa back :-) I'm very happy with the work and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Dave

My Dad needed an electrical check on failed lights so I found This Company. They were lovely guys. Pleasant, approachable and open. On the second visit I was unable to be there, and I was worried about Dad since he's getting forgetful. He mentioned certain problems re his fire, boiler to James. He helped my Dad, messaged me at end of job about Dads concerns, pic of working lights also. I found this very touching. As well as a brilliant efficient job, he went way and beyond what was asked of him! I will def go to James for any future work needed. All I can say is FABULOUS! Totally recommend this company. Nicola, Sunderland.

Nicolaa year ago · Google

James has carried out extensive electrical work for us over the past two weeks. The quality of his work is absolutely first class and we would not hesitate in recommending him. His attention to detail is exceptional and the overall service we received was superb.

John Mcgonnell3 years ago · Google

James and Josh have done electrical work for both my sister and me, and have been great at communicating, punctual, tidy, professional and the work has been great too! Highly recommended, and we will both be going back to James for any more electrical work required.

Fiona Slatera year ago · Google

Excellent service. James came exactly when he said he would and sorted out my underfloor heating (a previous electrician left a mess) and explained how it all worked. I can't recommend James highly enough. A young, intelligent, knowledgeable friendly boy that knows exactly what he's doing. If you need an electrician look no further.

Kevina year ago · Google

My neighbour recommended James a few years ago and this is the second time I've used James. On the second occasion today I didn't go elsewhere for a quote as I know he is a reliable electrician and reasonably priced from the first time. I've two more electrical jobs in the next few weeks, one that I'll be asking James to do and the other a quote to rewire a house. One you have used James he will be the first person you will go to first for a quote.

Martin Cleugh2 years ago · Google

Very professional and excellent service great advice very helpful would not hesitate to use again

Paul2 months ago · Google

"Summer House Electrics" From the initial quote to the completion of the work James was the ultimate professional. Being kept informed the whole time to let me know my thoughts and what was to be done/changed. Even some requests/changes by me were taken onboard and competed. No tidying up required either as he done the lot. I can't recommend James highly enough. He's already now coming back out to do some more work for us!

Rob2 years ago · Google

James and Joshua did a fantastic rewire of my whole house. I was kept up to date each day with a rundown of the stages they were at. They were both very polite and friendly and cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't rate them high enough.

Reliable, professional electrician(s). Worked through issue and discussed the options available to remedy with pro's and con's for each. Turned up when he said he would, which is increasingly rare these days, cleared up mess and done a cracking job. Honestly would recommend 100%, will be using again for any future work!

James was on time to give the quote for the work and then the job. Work carried out to high standard. Everything was explained to me what had been done. House was left clean and tidy. They even mopped the floor and hoovered. Would definitely recommend.
