I would like to recommend Gary Vu, who came out at very short notice on Sunday morning to fix a broken plug socket for us. Gary replied to me text and was at our house within an hour of me texting him - also very reasonable price for the job. Thanks Gary!

I would like to add to this recommendation. Gary Vu is your man if you need an electrician. He has done a few jobs for me over the last couple of years, most recently last week to fix a remote switch for my complicated ventilation system. Prompt replies, reliable, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, reasonably priced, leaves no mess. 07872 178044

Got Gary?s details off this forum (07872 178044), recommended by many, just wanted to add our recommendation too.


Issue with one light fitting tripped the whole set and needed replacing. He asked for a few pictures of issues over Whatsapp and then visited that evening 7-8pm. Identified the faults, fixed them and explained as he went along.


Very fair price and didn?t appear to be extra for out of hours. Also happy to answer any questions I had about other work in the house.


Highly recommended. Will be our go-to electrician. I imagine he is very busy though!

Adding another recommendation for Gary. When I contacted him, he was away, but he asked for photos of the switches causing the issue described and said what he thought the problem was likely to be, providing a quote.


Showed up at the time stated the following week and *very* efficiently sorted the issues. Tried to save me a bit of money by checking whether one issue with a dimmer switch was down to the lightbulb I was using.


Very professional, friendly and good rates. Also, Son of the Year award, came by with his lovely mum, who needs a little looking after, so she relaxed on the sofa while Gary went about his work.


I will definitely be asking Gary to come around again for any other work we need done.

Another recommendation for Gary. Rapidly diagnosed and fixed a tripped switch on the fuse board that wouldn't return to the "on" position. Also replaced an outdoor socket and a light switch and showed us how to use our underfloor heating!


Lovely guy, friendly service, great price. Totally deserves all the recommendations on here

I just wanted to add to my prior review above.


Since Gary fixed the issues in our flat that I mentioned, we've had him working on a much bigger project doing a lot of work to a house we are renovating. This has involved putting in a lot of new sockets, switches, ethernet cabling everywhere, new wiring for a new kitchen, etc. It's been a huge job and as ever, there are plenty of issues you run into with a big project, not least as we've been project managing ourselves with independent tradespeople.


Gary has been reliable throughout, always willing to work cooperatively (and proactively) with other trades, and even when things have gone wrong (through my doing / lack of experience) Gary has taken a positive, 'don't worry, we'll fix it approach'. I greatly appreciate his flexibility in managing issues as they arise and being willing to fit bits of work in when it would otherwise hold someone else up.


More recently, I find it very highly commendable that Gary actively takes measures to keep himself, his family and those around him safe. He wears a face mask, uses disposable gloves and respects social distancing.

We have used Gary in the pass and we going to contact him again to replace a bathroom extractor fan which is linked to the light- but lock down came about. More worried about him getting supplies - so will wait a while before contacting him again. We open the bathroom window instead for a while.

This is just a glowing recommendation for Gary Vu - electrician. He has carried out several jobs for us now over the past few months, ranging from very small to more intricate electrical jobs. Highly recommend him, reasonably priced and a lovely bloke to boot. His number is 07872178044

I have just used Gary Vu when we lost power in our house (everything kept tripping out and we spent the night without power). He got us back up and running with minimal effort and came back a few days later to upgrade the fuse box. He is a lovely guy and good value. Great communication also. Really glad to have him in my 'black book' of tradesmen.

Following recommendations on this site I had Gary Vu do a job for me last week. His quote was competitive and he arrived on time and was friendly and efficient. Due to price, I expected the job to be quite difficult and time consuming, running in to more than 1 day. However, considering the amount of time the job actually took - around 4 and a half hours, I was stunned to find I was expected to pay the full amount of ?630. I feel robbed.

Recommending Gary - he has done numerous jobs for us over the years - from changing a light switch to dimmer to taking out lights no longer used and moving lights and sockets.


Today he fitted a Ring doorbell for us, quick and professional job as alwyas.


His number is 07872178044

    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Just shows, to me, once proud to be a citizen of UK.. now.. well if we pay/contribute to services - nhs, police, fire etc and folk who have made this there home - no matter what creed or culture.. for the love c of God, can someone  please explain to me.. how we have working royals who like them or not, have tried and continue to actually support and make a change and then we have Andrew.. who just destroys everything.. not just him, or royalty but his own children..  I had great admiration for The Queen - and respect.. as have a huge number of people.. but.. these old traditions where gosh.. live rent free and can’t get chucked out until I believe 2070? From what I scanned..well he has and continues to have it all.. has to go thru what old rules? Etc.  doubt very much he has even kept the upkeep maintenance up on his abode.. and do the shite keeps on pulling up.. What has Andrew done for UK or for that matter since he was 20?? Do please tell me       Totally off topic, before anyone jumps down my throat.. I just do not get how anyone is proud to be British at this point in time. Whoever is in power, seems to be able to help themselves to the public purse with no redress at all - Covid is a great example of lining of pockets.. Millions  given to Rowanda, so one is led to believe, to help with refugee problem and one can’t get a plane load off!  I simply do not get it at all. Use of food banks in UK growing yearly, homeless as well, nhs, police, fire service etc all on their knees..        
    • Have applied the green roof at a number of properties and no issues you are concerned about detected. Have issues with cats defecating in the vicinity, however, they are not selecting the green roof specifically. Use decent compost, slow release fertiliser specific for green roofs, and lay it methodically not leaving blank patches. It looks amazing when cared for and adds value.
