Customer reviews for this trader
We have used Dakins Electrical services for many years and for many different jobs and always found them to be very reliable, skilled and capable. They have always done good work for us and we know we can rely on them to do a good job efficiently and effectively. A family business, they are always pleasant and friendly and we are glad that we found them.
Lost power to several sockets and Pete advised he would come early afternoon. Phoned mid-afternoon to advise he was running late but would attend. Arrived as promised and systematically checked all sockets until fault identified and rectified. Very thorough and explained what he was doing at each stage. Asked us to update him the next day as to whether everything was still working. Charged a very fair price and would highly recommend this company.
Asked Pete to come and fix an issue with the lights in the bedroom and bathroom and install new light fittings. Found him to be very polite and professional, the job was completed in good time and to a good standard. Very pleased with my new lights and cannot recommend him enough.
The safety switch to my electric shower burnt while taking a shower. Pete was able to come and fix the issue the same day. He showed me what the issue was and what he was going to do to fix the issue. He charged a fair price and I am happy with his work.
Prompt, courteous, excellent tidy work. Thanks very much!!
Pete carried out my Landlords EICR promptly and efficiently. Certificate was provided next working day. Communications were great throughout. Will be using again in the future.
Excellent service, would highly recommend, will not do better. Very fair price, would not call anyone else - 5 stars.
First class service, very pleased with the work to replace our consumer unit. Very polite and careful while working in our house and very competitively priced. Highly recommended.
Dakin Electrical would be my go to Electricians every time. Yet another excellent job done. Thanks Pete and Alisdair.
Came within 15 mins of calling on a Friday Evening. My cooker was tripping the RCD. Electrics checked. Fault appears to be the actual cooker and an appliance engineer was recommended. Would definitely use this firm in future. Highly recommended.
Very satisfied with the work undertaken.
Dave came to our rescue when I accidently disconnected our Wifi. He arrived on time, explained what he was going to do, left no mess and we were soon reconnected. Great service - thank you Dave.
Excellent electrician. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Pete.
Pete was very accommodating and agreed to attend as his last job of the day, he arrived at exactly the time he said he would. Extremely happy with the service and also the price, other electricians had quoted me double. Have no hesitation in recommending. Will definitely be using in the future.
Alistair and Peter of Dakin Electrical Ltd are both highly professional and expert electrical engineers. Over the last decade, they have carried out several works for us in the kitchen, around the house, and the summer house too. I am very impressed with their service, their punctuality and reliability. Highly recommend!
Excellent service from Pete - punctual, professional and friendly service, all at a good price. Will definitely use again for any electrical work around the home.
Dakin Electrical have done two jobs for us now and on both occasions were prompt, efficient, persistent and thorough. We are very grateful for their help.
Pete and his son installed my EV charging station and did an excellent job. Very friendly and honest with things and a very fair price for the work involved. Well recommended to anyone looking for any electrical work needing doing. 5 star
I have used Pete before at another property and been thoroughly satisfied with the service he provides. For a recent property purchase, I sought Dakin Services again for an EICR report and quote. Pete managed to accommodate our schedule, then promptly provided the report and advice for the remedial works required. This was a complete peace of mind during a busy time and I am looking forward to the design and installation work with him next month.
Dakin Electrical as always provided a top class service and at a great price. Thank you.
Very helpful.
Always use these guys for all our electrical works, they have served us excellent over the years and we would highly recommend them.
I'm in the middle of selling my house and needed an electrical certificate for the new buyers. I contacted Pete and asked him to carry out the test on the electrical supply. Pete turned up at the time he said he was going to be at the property for. He was very knowledgeable and did a thorough job. Pete is a really nice guy and I would definitely recommend and use Dakin Electrical again.
I needed an EV charger at short notice and at a reasonable price. I found the best value was by sourcing and buying the charger myself. I searched for quotes and Dakin Electrical provided the best quote for the installation. They did the job quickly and neatly and I am delighted with the result.
Pete and Alistair came to carry out a few small jobs on our new home. They are friendly, professional and reliable. Very happy with their work and would be happy to recommend Dakin Electrical.
Pete was extremely helpful. His alarm specialist Phil Tivey was fantastic. He was able to fit us in on the same day and pricing was fair. Will definitely use again.
Pete came quickly to replace a cracked hob. He carried out a great job and charged a very fair price. Highly recommended.
Peter Dakin is such a nice person. He called after my e-mail, he turned up when he said. Gave a fair price and turned up for the installation as arranged. A genuine caring tradesman. Was a pleasure to deal with and would without hesitation use him again.
Pete was very quick to respond to my request to provide an EICR as part of my house purchase. He was able to carry out an onsite visit that fitted with our schedule when the RICS surveyor was given access and this made for a seamless experience for the vendor too. I found Pete to be very friendly and amenable, explaining the work he would carry out which made me feel comfortable immediately. He provided the report in good time and explained his findings clearly so that I could understand them. I am very happy to recommend Dakin Electrical for any electrical work and look forward to speaking with him again for the improvements that I am looking to have installed once my move is complete.
Contacted Dakin Electrical Services based on previous reviews. We needed an electrical safety check carrying out quickly. Pete was very helpful, provided price and service level on initial contact. Undertook to contact tenants, promptly carried out the work and provided certificate same day work was carried out. Would not hesitate to recommend Dakin Electrical Services to anyone requiring electrical work.
Highly recommend. Pete Dakin helped us out of hours, and charged a very reasonable price to resolve our issue.
Pete was reliable, professional and very friendly. He fitted me an EV charger and I was very pleased.
Efficient and reliable services always.
Dakin Electrical are very reliable and efficient. They came out promptly and their charges were extremely fair. They are polite and trustworthy. I would recommend them highly.
Excellent work and service, firm recommended by a fellow tradesperson we use.
We would highly recommend Dakin Electrical Ltd to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and hardworking electrician. Pete and Alister have undertaken all our electrical work for a large extension in Derbyshire and their work is excellent. They go above and beyond to make sure all work is done to the highest standard and that you are happy with everything before they leave. Phil and Diana Mayor, Heage, Belper, Derbyshire.
Our electric shower needed replacing quickly and we needed advice on what wattage the cabling would allow. We rang Dakin Electrical in the morning and the gentleman said he would call in on his way home in the afternoon. He phoned when he was 15 mins away to let us know when he'd be there. He advised us on the cabling and the appropriate shower to install and wouldn't accept any money. We were extremely impressed that this trader went out of his way to give us advice for free and we would certainly recommend this trusted trader to anyone out there. We will certainly use this company again should the need arise and will tell our friends and family about them. What a lovely man!
Very efficient and honest service.
Polite, friendly, efficient and gave helpful advice. Will be using this company again.
Very clean - tidy and professional service. Fully recommended.
We have been very impressed with the way Alistair worked. He was always very professional and understanding. We are very happy with his work. He certainly qualifies as a trusted trader.
I called them late in the afternoon and they went out of their way to help fix dangerous electrical faults left by a previous Trusted trader!! Pete also supported me for months after when I was battling to get my money back from the trader that originally worked on the property. I can't thank Pete enough it's very rare to find someone with such integrity.
He did a very good job at a fair price and I wouldn't hesitate to have him again.
I called Pete Dakin about a problem with a light and he came the same day and offered great advice. Unlike some other tradespeople, he actually tried to repair first rather than replace and got the light working very quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use hi m again.
What a champion. Was recommended by family member and can honestly say they were so very right. Very prompt and efficient service, very pleasantly given. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks to Pete Dakin for all his help.
