Q: How much do electricians typically charge?

The guys from Lighton are great. Very professional and straight shooters when it comes to how things can and can't be done when it comes to wiring things up etc. They take the time to explain what needs to happen to complete the job and then get it done pretty quickly. I've used them numerous times now and will definable be using them again.

As we have experienced over 16 years of service from Lighton and Mark Williamson in particular, our most service job was outstanding. It was Mark's knowledge of previous jobs that allowed him to locate the necessary point to tap into to provide power to the new fountain. I trust that his discussion with the neighbour that allowed him access to the rear side of a wall leads into additional work from my neighbour. Lighton are definitely a company I can strongly recommend.

I would personally recommend Lighton for any electrical work. These guys are fast to respond (were here in < 1hour), professional and friendly. They worked hard to diagnose and find our electrical fault, and were able to trace, then solve the issue. We will definitely be using these guys again.

Amazing service all round. They called me within 1/2 hour of my online enquiry, came out and provided a quote for all of the works and helped us find some better alternatives to get what we wanted to get done, then completed all of the work the next day!
