After moving house I had a lot of electrical work needed doing. Bright Sparks made a very good job of it all and has left me confident in the electrics in the house. The work consisted of a new fuse box, new lights, switches and plugs etc. The work was carried out in a clean, pleasant manner. I would definitely recommend this company. Margaret C

Karen recently came to our place on a Sunday afternoon when our kitchen suddenly lost all power. She found and fixed the problem with the breaker very quickly, and also checked the others. She did a great job and we were very pleased to get it fixed so quickly! I recommend her to friends, and will definitely call her the next time we need an electrician.

We have been very impressed by Bright Spark Electrical Services. Karen Smith visited us to discuss our requirements and gave advice which cut our costs. The work was carried quickly and on time with excellent results. The areas affected were clean and tidy when the work was completed. We had a slight problem with a unit but it was dealt with as soon as it was reported. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and will definitely contact them again for any further electrical problems.
