Bearwood Customer Reviews

"After purchasing our 1930s semi-detached home in Bearwood, we discovered the electrical system needed a complete overhaul. Express Contractors provided a thorough assessment and detailed quote for the rewiring work. Their electrician was exceptional, working meticulously to minimize damage to our period features while completely modernizing our electrical system. They were punctual, professional, and kept us informed throughout the process. The team even accommodated our request to work room-by-room so we could continue living in the property during the renovations. The final result exceeded our expectations, with beautifully installed sockets and switches that complement our home's character. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the B66 area."

When our main circuit board started showing problems, Express Contractors responded within an hour of our call. Their electrician quickly identified a potentially dangerous fault and replaced our consumer unit the same day, preventing what could have been a significant disruption to our business. Since then, they've installed new lighting throughout our premises, significantly improving the ambience while reducing our energy bills. They've also set up a regular maintenance schedule to ensure our systems remain safe and efficient. Their understanding of commercial requirements in Bearwood has made them invaluable partners for our business. Highly recommended for any B66 business owner."

"I contacted Express Contractors when I needed smart home systems installed throughout my Bearwood property. From our initial consultation, it was clear they had extensive knowledge of the latest technologies and how they could be integrated into my B66 home. Their recommendations were tailored to my specific needs rather than simply pushing the most expensive options. The installation was completed efficiently with minimal disruption, and the electrician took time to ensure I understood how to use all the new systems. The smart lighting, heating controls, and security features have transformed how I interact with my home, making it more comfortable, secure, and energy-efficient. Six months later, everything is still working perfectly, and the support when I've had questions has been excellent."
