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:

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!

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets.
