Testimonials

Darren exchanged my old electric box for a modern one.  As always, his work is exemplary.  Everything is tested afterwards, all rubbish is taken away and you are left feeling confident that all is well.  Thank you Darren.

A small job we'd struggled to get fixed was if by magic fixed in less than 20 mins! Darren was very responsive when we contacted him and we would highly recommend Horton Electrical.

Darren goes above and beyond.  Worth his weight in gold.

​

Darren turned up on time, explained clearly what needed to be done, did a great job and charged a fair price.  Great service.

Exceptional quality of service.  Prompt timekeeping, friendly and very tidy and pays attention to detail.

Very prompt and friendly service.

Provided clear assessment, report and remedial work very promptly in order for a sale to proceed.

Needed a ceiling fan in a bedroom.  The original light fitment, had to be moved as  it was not on a joist.  Darren, was very knowledgeable in what had to be done, and completed the job.  Punctual, very friendly, very tidy and respectful.  Totally satisfied.  Very well priced and availability of appointment even though he is really busy was quick.  To find decent electricians these days is very rare.  10 out of 10 from me.

​Just wanted to send a quick email to say a big thank you 🙏 to you and your husband. From my initial enquiry and your speedy reply to Darren coming round this morning as agreed. Not only did your husband look at the job for us, he explained everything to me and did the job straight away. Just brilliant! Super service, friendly, reliable and efficient. Would highly recommend you. Couldn’t be happier

Darren is professional and pleasant. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge for all your electrical requirements and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Woke up in the morning and had no electric in the house was concerned more for the freezer as it had all the Christmas food in it I called Darren at around nine he was on a job and told me he would get to me in the afternoon he was round ours by one and fixed the problem and went above and beyond I would 100% recommend him

We moved house and discovered we needed a new oven installed and the wiring put in to enable this. The previous oven was both broken and had been put on a supply which didn’t match the requirements of the appliance and was therefore causing no end of problems. Darren was able to identify the exact fault, advise us on what changes and additional wiring were needed and what we needed to look for in the new appliance. When Darren came to do the work, he found a better, even neater (albeit more difficult for him) way of running the necessary cabling. We’re now completely confident in our electrics and can enjoy the new house

knowing everything has been fixed. Thank you!!

Darren's work is first class in every respect.

​

I would not hesitate to recommend Darren to anyone, his work is superb and he is so tidy.

Horton Electrical has carried out a fair amount of work for me. Always on time. Always helpful.

​

Attentive, Polite, Efficient.  Always phones back.

Darren was recommended by a neighbour. I'd had an EICR done by another contractor and didn't feel comfortable with their quote. Darren stepped in, went through the report in detail, and visited the property before accepting the job. During that visit, he identified some issues that the other guy had missed, and made some other useful and balanced comments. He worked efficiently and tidily (it was a long day's work), and visited me on his way home to go through the job. I feel confident that this is a good job well done, and will ask him to quote for work on another property as well.

Replaced consumer unit with 18th Edition RCBO and carried out full test and inspection of the property complete with certification efficiently and tidily.

Used Horton Electrical a few times now. Always provides an excellent service.

​

Good honest tradesperson.

Darren carried out work on two of my flats and was very knowledgeable and explained everything that needed to be done. He was very professional, trustworthy and was a clean and tidy worker. I would certainly employ him again. Darren was recommended to me and this was an excellent recommendation.

Had a landlords electrical certification & as always the work was carried out in a timely, clean, efficient and expert way. Always happy with the work have used Horton Electrical on several occasions.

Quick response to my query and able to come and take a look at the problem same day. Very friendly, easy to book in and finished to a high standard.

Darren arrived on time, carried out his work in a highly professional and very clean manner. Darren is very pleasant, helpful and nothing was to much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending him and will certainly use Darren again for future electrical jobs/projects.

​

Same day service for two jobs, prompt, very clean and a true professional with great technical advice.

I have used Darren for all my electrical requirements. He is extremely contentious with impeccable time keeping and tidiness qualities - I have highly recommended him to my friends.

Darren of Horton Electrical installed lighting and wired up heater to our new summer house. He was professional, neat and efficient and we are thrilled with the results. This lead to further work installing outside garage light and some improvements within the house. I would higher recommend his services and we wouldn't hesitate to use him again should the need arise.

Darren is extremely knowledgeable and hardworking. He connected the electricity from the garage to the new summer house. All done very quietly and efficiently. Darren even identified an electrical bonding problem with a recent gas installation which we were unaware of and provided us with sufficient information to be able to get this corrected by the installers. Excellent job and no hesitation from us on recommending Horton Electrical, we will be using them for all future electrical work.

For many years we have been struggling to put on a light in an alcove due to the poor positioning of the switch, being vertically challenged and increasing age. Darren came on time, but didn't just lower the switch down the wall, he asked our requirements and then made suggestions to its positioning - even though the job we chose needed extra work but not extra cost. As a result we can now reach the switch easily and it is well hidden on the alcove wall.

Yet again Darren has been a star! We called him on Sunday night as our sockets had tripped and we were unable to reset them. It meant that we also had no heating as well. Darren came out 30 minutes after we called him on a Sunday night. He rectified the problem swiftly and at a very reasonable price. Thank you

Existing security lights failed and in need of urgent replacement. Horton Electrical came with exact replacements and fitted them on the same day we called. Excellent job fully tested and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this company.

​

Professional advise expertly executed.

Easy to talk to, very knowledgeable and did a first class professional job.  I have used Horton Electrical in the past and he is still as excellent as ever!

Darren is very thorough and professional.  We won't be using anyone else in future.  Many thanks

We found Darren through his many excellent recommendations on Nextdoor.co.uk and we weren't disappointed. He was punctual, charged a fair price for supplying and fitting a security light and he even rectified and waterproofed some previous questionable junction box wiring without being asked. Also, he's a really nice guy and we would thoroughly recommend him!

Friendly professional service.  Would highly recommend Horton Electrical.

Turns up on time, sticks to the estimate and does a great job.  And tidy.  What more could you want? 

I just wanted to recommend Darren from Horton Electrical. He came out today to fit a new extractor fan in our ensuite bathroom.  He was very courteous, quick and efficient.  Great job done at a very reasonable cost.  Will definitely use him again when I next need an electrician.

Darren did an excellent job rewiring our bungalow whilst it was still occupied, rectifying many safety issues. He was very flexible in his approach allowing the work to be completed over six two day sessions. This multi session approach enabled us to still ive in the property whilst the work was being completed, with us always having fully working electric at the end of each session. Darren is a very organised, tidy and methodical worker, and is very personable as well. I will use Darren for any future work I need doing and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to have electrical work done

Darren fitted the electrics for our patio awning, and also fitted outside plugs. Excellent neat workmanship, as always. We are always delighted with the work he does for us. Thank you.

Nothing but great things to say about Darren who repaired some electrical problems in the property and fully tested for a certificate. Was recommended to me and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone else.

I cannot rate enough!!! Extremely helpful and friendly!!! Unfortunately I have been subject to cowboy lettings agents and landlord who would send out their own trades person. I called Darren to come and look at my electrical supply and he confirmed that I am also paying for communal lighting and other electrics within my building. His detailed report is now going to really help me prove that I have been duped for 3 years! I called he knew exactly what I was talking about put me at ease and did the job expertly! I will not hesitate to call Darren again with any electrical query and I will be passing his information on to friends and family. If Calsberg made electricians they would be called Darren Horton :)

Darren fitted a demisting bathroom cabinet to a tiled wall. A very neat job done with all wiring hidden and necessary RCD added.

I will definitely be using his services again.

We were in a bit of a situation having been quoted a very large amount to address some issues relating to an electrical condition report (we're selling our house) that was carried out by another party. Darren came round to check on things after a quick call, quoted us a very reasonable price and also addressed a couple of issues on the spot. Further work was carried out in timely and efficient manner to a high standard. We couldn't have been happier with the service that Darren provided. I'll definitely be recommending Darren to anyone that mentions anything about needing an electrician.

Loft light fitted, additional sockets fitted and new light in kitchen/diner. Also spotted an issue with our fuse box and sorted this out.

​

A true professional, excellent, friendly and conscientious work. Highly recommended.

Great service, arrived nice and early and did a very good, professional job on our hut. We got a carpenter in as well and between the two of them, the hut is everything we wanted! Darren was professional and knowledgeable and we would recommend again. Thanks!

Full PPE worn with all guidelines adhered to. Trustworthy, honest and a great tradesman. Work completed within time specified. Quality guaranteed.

Darren (Horton Electrical) wired up a new workshop in my garden. His quote was competitive, he did exactly what I wanted. He was really thorough doing a really job of routing and aesthetics. And he didn’t leave any mess. I’d recommend him without reservation.

I would highly recommend Horton Electrical because Darren was very professional and it was excellent value for money, I was extremely happy with the work he carried out.

Darren was extremely professional at all times and informative on what was required after a recent safety certificate. He carried out the repairs efficiently and within an excellent timeframe.

Have used Horton electrical for a few years now and it's good to get someone you can stick with and rely upon. Darren always happy to give free advice and will never persuade you to do unnecessary work. Clean and tidy which is rare these days for contractors working in your home, I sometimes forget he's been there. Couldn't recommend Horton any higher.

I was a damsel in distress late at night with no electricity, but Horton Electrics came out late at night and got me a limited supply working and then returned during the day to complete a very difficult problem. Would definitely use Horton Electrics again.

Darren answered my message within 10 minutes and was around the house within 10 minutes. Luck of where he was and when he was available but got the impression that was how he works - responsive and available when possible. He was able to locate the cause of the issue and solve it straight away.

Darren arrived exactly on time and just got on with the job in hand, every thing that was done by him was what we asked for - new wiring in garage and electrical sockets, installed new outside lighting and sockets and lights in shed. He was very tidy, and every thing we asked for him to do he just got on with it and we were very pleased with the job he had done and happy with the price he had quoted us, which was the final bill, no hidden extras.

It's never easy inviting a stranger into your home but Darren was very respectful and gave me confidence in his proficiency. I would definitely contact him again

​

All the work was done by Darren and he was excellent. Always on time, competent, and very efficient. We were well informed as the work progressed and pleased with the end results. The estimate given for all the work was reasonably priced and couldn’t fault anything at all. Would highly recommend.

​

Horton Electrical have been doing work on my property for a few years now. I wouldn’t want to change now I’ve found a good firm. Always helpful, prompt and provides a great service with no dramas. I can highly recommend Darren and his firm.

My house required a total rewire that was complex to do, due to poor work that had previously been undertaken by different electrians. Darren was very professional, he worked hard and completed the work in a timely manner. He explained what he was doing and was very thorough. I would highly recommend him.

Darren is a very thorough and competent electrician. He is a tidy worker and pays attention to detail. Today on a ceiling light he even changed the way the cables had originally been placed to conceal old rose line to make a far neater finish.

Darren from Horton Electrical came quickly and carried out the electrical work efficiently .
He explained the options which were then completed and checked .
A certificate for the job was also sent the same day .
I would recommend him and will definitely use him again .

Darren came today & fitted 3 new light fittings for me, plus a couple of smaller jobs. He was punctual, efficient & reliable. I will use him in the future & recommend to all my friends. Thank you Darren.

Darren's work cannot be faulted, he came to do an electrical check after we had recently bought our house. There was already a couple of faults that needed sorting out, one being a power socket not working. Our kitchen is quite old and Darren spent time searching out a socket plate that matched the rest of the kitchen, and it matches perfectly. He was very diligent in his work, very prompt, tidy, efficient and pleasant and not even stopping for a cuppa!!

He is also very thoughtful and kindly moved some furniture up our very steep narrow stairs for us while we were out of sight. He must have realised we were a little worried about this and kindly took the initiative to help us out. I have no hesitation in recommending Darren, his work is first class and he is very responsive and calls you back promptly when you call him for an appointment. I contacted him via Nextdoor, our neighbourhood social media site where there are many more recommendations for jobs well done. Thank you so much Darren for your work and kindness

We had an electrical emergency and finding Darren's number on Nextdoor we called him and he arrived within 20 minutes and fixed our problem much to our relief.  Thank you so much.

Punctual, fitted everything we asked, no mess, good price. Responded to phone calls and messages. Would definitely use Horton Electrical again.

Darren responded to a couple of emergency call outs in a timely manner and then fitted a new fuse box in the garage. He then carried out any remedial work needed. He was efficient and friendly and always kept us informed of progress. I would highly recommend Horton Electrical and will certainly use Darren as our go to electrician.

We found Darren to be knowledgeable and an extremely comprehensive thorough electrician.  His rates were reasonable and he was friendly and efficient.  We were delighted with his work.

Darren was really quick to contact me with a quote when I first contacted him. He was able to arrange the work within a week of the initial contact and then follow up work a week later. Darren was on time, he explained his quote and stuck to it, it was fairly priced. Darren took excellent care of my home and possessions and he was also able to explain parts of the job to me as he went. I will be using Darren again for all future works and would happily trust him in my property should I not be able to be there.

Darren did a terrific job of drilling through tiles and wiring in a lit bathroom cabinet. He turned up early and got straight down to the job, with no fussing. He was also excellent at replying to emails asking for a quote/to arrange the booking, something very few trades people seem to be able to do.

Darren was so quick to respond, quote and complete the requested jobs.

Efficient and a true professional.

I needed an electric supply to my summer house/practice room and Darren did a wonderful, neat and safe job. I couldn't be happier with the work done.

​

I've just purchased a house that needed considerable updating especially the electrical installation. Darren was recommended to me by neighbours and he proved to be excellent. The work included new fuse boxes, replacing sockets, removing sections of illegal wiring and making the property safe.

I found Darren at Horton Electrical though a web search. As soon as I had contact with Darren I felt assured, he gave me a summary of how the Landlord EIRC tests would carried out. I knew there would be a lot of work required due to the age of the property. Darren carried the initial EIRC check and detailed with work to rectified. We booked a date and Darren was on time and was always reliable, it was easy to discuss any unexpected situations and that arose. Darren was friendly, tidy and diligent, I would highly recommend Horton Electrical and I will be using them for any future work.

Darren and Jill were so kind , friendly and professional. Brilliant work fast response to my call.

I emailed Horton Electrical and received a reply in less than 30 minutes. Darren attended and completed the job 14 hours later. He arrived exactly on time, and left no mess. Personable and easy to deal with. He would be our first port of call if we needed anything electrical. Very highly recommended.

Look no further than Horton Electrical for quality electrical work. Our experience included value added safety advice, Covid careful and a certificate of work done.

Darren from Horton Electrical is one of the most fastidious workers I have encountered for some years. Extremely informative knowledgeable and hard working and completed the work in very good time. Also his prices were extremely acceptable. I have no hesitation in recommending for anyone who requires any electrical work to be done.

Reliable, well priced and good work. He was very quick to arrange relevant Part P certificates. Friendly and also tidy.

Darren from Horton Electrical carried out an EICR on a property that we rent out. He was professional, knowledgeable, tidy and advised us of any remedial work that was required after his report. The price that he charged was fair and we received the EICR within 24 hours of the inspection taking place. We would highly recommend Darren and will be our 'go to electrician' for any future electrical work we require to both our property and the rental.

He arrived on time, prepared, and quickly got on with the work. Demonstrated it all working. Carried out some safety checks, and left everything tidy.

Darren arrived almost immediately as our offices were in darkness following the failure of a switch. He had the work done, without interrupting our power and causing us any computer issues, within minutes. We would definitely call Darren again.

Darren was exceptionally conscientious about his work and explained everything as it was done. He worked methodically the whole time he was here and very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend him as a very professional person who takes pride in his job to the highest level.

Only a small electrical job to replace existing light fittings for new ones but yet again, Horton Electrical were efficient, prompt and good value for money, despite this only being a small job . Darren was happy to carried it out with his usual efficient manner. Horton Electrical's service is second-to-none and we have no hesitation recommending them to anyone. Our go to Electrical Company.

Darren was recommended to us by family and I have no hesitation in doing the same to anyone else who is looking for an electrician. We have had problems with the electrics in our garage . I found Darren to be very polite and friendly and he set about giving the entire electrics in the garage a thorough check and quickly identified the problem, He quickly rectified the problem. .Darren' s price was extremely reasonable; we had feared we could be looking at a hefty bill. All-in-all, I can' speak highly enough of Darren's friendliness, professionalism and value for money. He will be our go-to electrician from now on.

I was very pleased with the quick response I received ,you always think that a job of this size, know one be interested in doing it. Far from the case with Darren he is always willing to do jobs however small . Clean and tidy highly recommend him to anyone

Great service from start to finish.  Very quick with a quote and only a short time between quote and work carried out.  Tidy workmanship, no mess and work done quickly.  Very happy and would use again.

Darren replaced an extractor fan and upgraded the backlighting for a piece of artwork. Both were completed well and on time, with the replacement backlighting a big improvement, which has transformed our entrance hall. A stand out part of Darren's ethos, is that he responded to my initial contact through his website and fit us into his busy schedule, this is a mark of his professionalism. So many companies simply ignore such contacts which is unprofessional.

Darren is super friendly and super experienced. Horton Electrical installed an electrical supply to a summerhouse.

Darren has done several jobs for us over the last few years so when one of the lights failed he was the person to call. He arrived to give us a quote with the fitting he recommended to show us . It all sounded very reasonable so a date was arranged for fitting. Darren turned up on time and did the job, he’s very tidy too. The lights look great and we’re very pleased. Darren even offered to adjust the bathroom fan so it didn't run on for so long, a great bonus! I have no hesitation at all in recommending Horton Electrical.

My telephone message was returned within 20 minutes. Darren visited 30 minutes later to look at the job and then returned 3 hours later and completed it. He did an excellent job at a reasonable price. Exceptional service.....he is definitely my go to electrician from now on.

Darren was friendly, courteous & prompt. The quality of his work was excellent & I recommend him highly.

 Darren came almost half an hour earlier than agreed and got on with the job. He is very tidy, courteous, experienced and competent. We are particularly pleased with the installation of the exterior light as there is no cable visible on the outside brick and the switch inside is very neatly fitted near the ceiling corner of the porch – again no cable visible. He took the time to make sure the job is well done. The price is reasonable and he issued the certificate (via e-mail) that evening.

Darren quickly replied to my initial contact, clearly stating the cost. He was punctual in his arrival and immediately set about identifying the cause of the problem. No head scratching or stringing out of time, instant problem identification and swiftly addressed the problem, minimising the cost. Polite and courteous throughout. A genuine professional who I will keep on speed-dial should issues arise in the future.

Horton Electrical replaced our old consumer unit recently. The quote was received with 24 hours of Darren attending our property. The price was fair and the work was carried out to a high standard. Darren treated our home with respect and was clean and tidy. He is very knowledgeable, professional and just a really nice chap!

As holiday cottage owners we really need people who understand our need to sort things out asap and often at short notice. Darren has been a godsend- always polite and reliable. We also use him for own own cottage and are really pleased with his work.
