A Brighton electrician who cares about getting it right

I've been a qualified electrician for over 30 years. In that time I've tackled everything from complete hospital refits to changing a single light switch — and I'm proud to say there's nothing I haven't been able to handle.

Originally from Australia, I made my home in Brighton's Hanover neighbourhood for years with my family. That local connection matters to me — I'm not a call centre, a franchise, or a stranger. When I come to your home or business, you're dealing directly with the person who will do the work.

"I believe in doing the job properly and leaving the place tidy. It's as simple as that."

I also believe in giving young people a future in the trade. I've trained several apprentices who have gone on to become fully qualified electricians.

I'm a NAPIT-approved contractor and fully qualified to self-certify Part P electrical work — indoors and outdoors, including garden installations. That means you get a proper compliance certificate directly from me, with no delays and no third-party sign-off costs.

He replaced all the old tube lighting in our office with new eco-friendly alternatives. Friendly and professional, carries out his work to a high standard. Reasonably priced — we will be using his services again.
