Shocking work. We paid £3,400 for a brand new bathroom with new flooring throughout the home and this builder James Baker who runs under various business names from J W to The Dark Spark electrical in Spalding has destroyed the bathroom and his so called friends have placed a worthless and extremely shoddy bad job. A 5 year old could do better. We are now taking legal action after a flooding, no work for 2 weeks and wall panels that are such a bad job we have to get a new bathroom fitted.

Helpful polite and quick response. Unfortunately the three jobs we needed doing were not possible to fix on the first call out and we've decided to go elsewhere for the work to be done so I can't really rate the work.

I have no issue with the work they did, but they should routinely carry cleaning equipment such as brooms, dustpan and brush and a vacuum cleaner. They should not need to use mine, or ask me for a bucket to mix up plaster in. Finally they really should take their rubbish away or tell their clients the price does not include rubbish removal. Putting it in my neighbour’s bin and on my garden is unacceptable.

London EV Chargers was established by Steve at the end of 2021. Steve has established and managed Alpha Build Construction and Alpha Build Electrics over the last 5 years and has had a vast array of success and worked with in both Public and Private sectors. Within the last year Steve has been thinking of the future, green initiatives and climate change. He underwent training in 2021 for Electric Vehicle Charger Installation and decided he wanted to change his focus to this. ‘I’ve been closely following green initiatives, the power of renewable energy and its positive impact on climate change for quite some time now. I’m committed to abiding by the highest quality industry standards by continually improving my skill set by regularly doing courses and continuing my personal development. After doing a course on EV Charger Installation in 2021 I decided that I wanted to change my direction as an electrician and focus my skills in this area. I am qualified to fit any EV Charging unit for residential or commercial use and continue to update my knowledge and skills by completing training from individual suppliers.’ It’s all about service, and about making sure that you feel confident with your choice, and know you are getting the safest solution in the field. We take pride in our work, and treat every job as if it were our own home or office.
Steve was very helpful and always came on time and communicated well on the issues.

1. Turned up 1.5 hours late to my property. Didn’t even have the courtesy to call until 1 hour had passed. 2. Didn’t have the right tools to complete the job. Took one look at it, banged a hammer a few times, and said it can’t be done (for the record - the job was subsequently completed in about 20 minutes by a proper tradesman) 3. Left my property after 10 minutes. Then demanded I pay £80 call out charge, in spite of having done absolutely nothing and arriving 90 mins late. STAY AWAY from Electro Flame.
