Tom was recommended to me by a friend a few months back, and he fixed a light socket that was giving off a mild shock - he was on time, courteous and fairly priced - and the shocks are no more.


I've since had an issue with a vintage pendant light which keeps blowing the bulb. Tom was totally amenable to finding a time that could fit around work & childcare provision, and then when I needed to resched at 1 days notice he kindly offered a late appointment on the following day (today), he ran 10 mins late, and so he called to let me know. He's just stayed 10 mins & given me a whole load of advice, and hasn't charged for the call out - thanks Tom.

I called Tom on this recommendation and would now also recommend him and his work.

Polite, punctual and very reasonably priced. He found the fault with the smoke alarm and fixed it without a problem, rewired and organised a missing pendant light fitting and also a dodgy bathroom pull cord.

All round nice chap who did a good job for us. Thanks Tom.

I would also like to add a recommendation for Tom. My bathroom lights stopped working on Friday night, and I had guests staying for the weekend! I found the recommendation for Tom on this forum, text him at 8am Saturday morning and he was round by 9.30am to fix the lights. Saved my weekend, great service. Would def use again.

After all of these endorsements I too engaged Tom King for some electrical issues I had. He was quick to respond to messages, clear in communication, prompt in coming to look at things and getting them fixed and was reasonably priced too. No hesitation in recommending him, I wish all tradesmen were as good and easy to deal with (and flexible in when they can come around).

A very interesting recommendation. Looking at previous posts by "kings dream" who made this recommendation:


"I pad 2 16Gb now with picsattachment new

So your number just happens to be the same as the number for Tom King who you are recommending? What a coincidence.

Would highly recommend Tom King. Had a faulty smoke alarm that was beeping continuously. Tom's answer was immediate and he came the same day, sorted it out quickly, is super friendly and asks reasonable price. what more could you want? Would definitely call on him again.

Found Tom King on this forum to install smoke alarms/heat sensors for a tenanted property and to perform an electrical installation safety check. Himself and colleague Andy came round punctually, installed smoke-related items efficiently and then performed thorough investigations for the safety check. As expected there was one failing - the replacement of a very out-of-date fuse box. They returned at an agreed time to perform this.


They were easy to communicate with, punctual and honest..

In fact I have already recommended them to a few other landlords who I know personally.



Im actually finding this forum far more useful than CheckaTrade or ratedpeople...:)

Found Tom via recommendation on the forum. We have recently had a new bathroom suite fitted and needed our old electric shower removed and a new one put in on the opposite side of the bathroom.

I must say he was very pleasant on our first meeting even with my two little ones asking him all the questions under the sun! The work was completed quickly and at a very nice price with the bonus of no mess! Very happy and will definitely be using again for the fitting of my new dimmer switches!

Highly recommend Tom! Reliable, efficient and trust worthy.


Do not use Milan listed on here. Told us we needed a new oven but in fact it was a cable problem that was causing our circuit to trip. Cost us a new oven (throwing away a perfectly good one), call out fees, etc :(


If you need an electrician call Tom!

    • Would wholeheartedly recommend Aria. Quality work, very responsive, lovely guy as well. 
    • A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“  
    • A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will.  He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process.  The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old.   Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high.  There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US.  It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight.  The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter.  These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer.  Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA.  We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter.  So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication.  There could be an immediate response to his questions.   Help!        
    • Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act.  But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement.  Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half.   Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
