Daniel Hawkins Electrical Contracting Limited

I am very happy to recommend this firm on all fronts. Danny Hawkins the owner and the people who work for him were all very friendly - making sure that they understood exactly what I wanted, efficient in their work and at a very reasonable cost. I first came across this firm when they tested the electric's in my kitchen, on behalf of another firms kitchen installation final check. I was impressed with the electrician - the friendliness, tidiness and the willingness to explain what he was doing. I asked if they undertook private work which they do. I contacted the owner Danny Hawkins and explained I wanted a new fuse board, wiring circuits certified and a couple of wiring jobs. He listened to what I wanted and explained a few things i. E. Length of certification within a private dwelling, gave me a quote (the cost of a new fuse board included a complete wiring check). If I was not going for a new fuse board the cost of checking and certifying each electrical circuit was very reasonable and significantly below that of all the main electrical suppliers. I advised him that I would be budgeting in for the following year. A year later I contacted Danny again and reiterated what I wanted. To my surprise the only price increase from the previous year was to cover the additional work I wanted since first talking to him. We agreed a date. Just before the agreed date Danny phoned me to check that all was OK for that date and work to be undertaken. On the day I got a phone call to let me know the time when the electrician would be with me. The electrician again was very friendly and before they started, went through again what I wanted and was expecting. The work was done efficiently with very little mess which was cleaned up as they worked. Whilst the electrician was with me I got a phone call from Danny to see if all was well and for him to speak to the electrician. When the work was completed I was shown around the work, everything was explained and I was invited to ask questions make any comments. Once this was done Danny was then contacted to let him know that the work had been completed - to go through everything the electrician had undertaken and the time it took which then resulted in an accurate cost being identified. The final cost was less than I had expected.Moreexpand_more

I cannot speak highly enough of Dan and his company. He was with us when he said he would be, had another guy with him and they were both genuinely friendly and helpful guys. No smoke screens, no jargon, just honest and reliable. They asked questions, identified the problem and implemented a solution with due care and without fuss. Definitely my go to Electrician when I need one now. Worth calling in my opinion.

Dan Hawkins is definitely the real deal. After a major water leak at my Mum’s home back in April it was also discovered that the electrical system was very old and needed a complete re-wiring. Not living in UK meant that I had no knowledge of local electricians. The insurance company were using Hawkins Electrical to make a temporary connection for the drying equipment so I contacted Dan and with the help of e-mails, telephone calls and text messages his guys started within days, completed on time and provided an altogether first class service. We started out having never met, working completely on trust and I was not disappointed. I would recommend Dan Hawkins to anybody.

Really impressed! Never used an electrician before and was recommended to get in touch with these guys. Mike and the boys showed up bright and early. They explained what they needed to do a just cracked on with the job. I left them to it and the job was completed without any fuss. No hesitation recommending Dan and his team.

Most impressed with speed, efficiency and helpfulness sorting out an electrical fault caused by a water leak - especially as I am in the Highlands and my cottage is near Bath. They came out to make the electrics safe same day as getting my call. Will definitely use again.

Great work carried out on wiring my garage and putting on outdoor lighting. A great customer service who know how to communicate with there customers prompt. Would recommend to everyone and use again.

Service was second to none. We were trying to fit new kitchen spotlights, only to discover it was very complicated - and we could not refit our old spotlights. Thought we would be in darkness for a few days, but Hawkins arrived within 30 minutes! Problem fixed - kitchen left clean and tidy. The bill was extremely reasonable, much better than we anticipated. We are two very happy customers (we have Hawkins on speed dial now - just in case! ). The electricians who attended were great, polite and respectful. Thank you so much - would recommend to anyone.

Called Hawkins Electrical this evening when my fuse box tripped and I was unable to reset it. After establishing the make of the box the person at the end of the phone was quickly able to tell me how to reset it myself. I was able to get on with my evening and saved the cost of calling out an electrician. They were very helpful and polite.

We recently purchased a property in Bristol which neeeded a full rewire from top to bottom as the old electrics just simply weren't up to the task or safe in the least. After ringing around and getting many quotes we finally decided to let Dan have the job. He was professional from the start, listening to our needs and what we wanted in the property. He explained what was going to happen, how long it would be and what to expect. His team were also very thorough, getting on with the job quickly. Even half way through he had a second consultation with me to make sure eveything was fine, we identified a few extra plug sockets and lights that I wanted (not to mention garden electrics) and even this was no trouble to accomodate and change the brief midstream. Extremely pleasant experience, I just wish the other tradesmen we had in were half as competant. We will not hesitate to use Dan again when the next house comes up.

Installation of new fuse box, outside power points and some indoor electrical improvements. Competitive quote, professional team, work completed on time and to a high standard. We would use them again.

Our electricity failed on a cold, snowy day. Hawkins' team arrived promptly at 8am despite the snow, and quickly isolated and repaired the problem. They were courteous and professional throughout, even taking care to remove their shoes when walking on our carpets. Extremely impressed and would definitely use them again and recommend them without reservation.

Called them out at 15. 45hrs on Friday evening and they were there within 30mins. No sockets were working in the house. The fault was not easy to trace at first and all sockets were checked and tested and fault traced to spur outside. Isolated and all sockets worked. Cost very reasonable and staff very polite and effective. Highly reccomended.

We needed to find a reliable and trustworthy electrician, so by searching the web we found this site and chose Danny Hawkins based on the high number of positive reviews and comments. Absolutely delighted that we made the right choice, as he explained everything that needed to be done. The guys (Mike and Josh) were very prompt, professional and efficient and are a credit to Danny’s business. Even the “after sales” service is impeccable – will definitely be using them again. We have strongly recommended Danny to family, friends and work colleagues (and one of these has now had some work completed by Danny and his team and is very happy).

Great service and support following an emergency call out to heating/hot water failure - friendly, efficient and logical approach to getting our problems sorted. Pete.

I called this company on Sunday evening, after losing power to all appliances in the house. The person who answered the phone talked me carefully through what had happened, advised me on what to check, waited while I ran off to check on a couple of things, and explained what I had to do to get power back on and how to tell if I needed to call again. Result: no need for a visit, no charge, and I could get on with my evening. Thanks!

Had new fuseboard and testing done with a few light fittings. The guys were prompt and friendly. Very clean and tidy job done. Would highly recommend them.

Prompt and friendly - thanks again for your ideas and knowledge.

We had a problem with our heating system which a plumber had determined was due to an electrical fault and so we called out D H Hawkins. Professional and friendly he quickly identified the fault to be within the junction box which was preventing the pump from working in the airing cupboard and swiftly fixed it. So pleased with the result that we have now asked him to come back and do some more electrical work for us.

We rang DM Hawkins Electrical on a Sunday at 5. 45pm to report a power failure on all sockets in the house which occurred while we were out. He expertly analysed the problem over the phone and indicated exactly what we should do to try to restore the power. It all worked instantly. We would certainly recommend him and use his services for any other electrical needs.

Called them late on Friday, the guys had just gotten back from their summer holidays, they came first thing and expertly managed to get my electric working again! Don't waste money call these guys!
