    Recommendation required - electrician west dorset

    Anyone know a good sparky (or is anyone one) in the Bridport area? I'm going to need a property inspection and probably some renovation/replacement, it looks like a rats nest currently.
    Thanks

    It's a little bit too far west in Dorset for my knowledge but I've a few friends that way so have put some feelers out for you.

    I have used checkatrade lots of times and always had good honest tradespeople. I wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

    Have you used it yourself, or just listened to the stories?

    Guy at work had a cowboy from it. Had loads of 5 star ratings. Total cowboy.

    Told the workman to call it quits and got someone else in so left a 1 star review.

    Cowboy came banging on his door and said make it 5 stars or I'll put your windows in.

    So no direct experience then.

    It is a numbers game and checkatrade will weed out the vast majority of cowboys

    Then chose carefully by chasing references.

    Play the game right and you will not have a problem.

    Dont close your eyes and throw a dart.

    Be sensible and smart and checkatrade works very well.

    That's fine but I'll never have direct experience of any of those types of sites. Personal recommendations only.

    Best thing we did was join the street WhatsApp
