5 Star Reviews
Trusted by businesses across Leeds and Yorkshire for reliable, high-quality electrical work in commercial and industrial environments.
I'd definitely use again and recommend to my friends and family....
When i rang and spoke to Paul he came across very well and i was confident to give him my job to install the car charger.
The date was confirmed and Paul himself and one of his colleagues arrived on time. They completed the installation without any issues and their work was of a very high order . Furthermore Paul took the time to explain thoroughly the workings of the EO app which is required for use with the charger.
I would certainly recommend Paul /Scott Electrical to my friends and colleagues for any future electrical work.
