Rec. for Gary Vu electrician

Recommended Posts

I wasn?t going to do a rec. for Gary because he has so many already, but then I felt I should because I suppose you can never have too many, and he did a really good job. So, he?s so efficient, I had an annoying hotchpotch of jobs that needed sorting out- light fittings that my handyman couldn?t work out, a new ventilation fan in the bathroom, a bit of rewiring in a new extension and Gary just went through them one by one without pause, puum, puum, puum! and they were all done. Then I asked him to sort out my electric shower because the water just didn?t get hot; he explained the cable used in my one wasn?t sufficient to heat up the water enough in our freezing winter so I needed a new one that would accommodate a larger cable. The last thing I wanted to do was spend hours pouring over bathroom catalogues trying to work out which one was suitable for me (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!) so Gary said he?d select one for me. Fantastic! I asked him to just get me the most economical possible and he found one for ?110, and got it delivered the very next day, when he installed it! And it works really well! So, I think he?s great, great at his job and his rates are very fair. Plus he explains what he?s doing really clearly, which I like, rather than leaving you in the dark thinking ?Why?s he doing that? What I am paying for?? Everything is crystal clear. Plus, he does extra little bits, just to be nice, like noticing you're missing a switch and saying "do you want me to pop one in there, I've got one in my bag". I had another ED electrician before who was good, but just did exactly the job, nothing more, so I think Gary's better! Very nice bloke.

I used Gary too, having got his name off the forum. He was really reliable - said what time he would be here, and he was, bang on time, which doesn't often happen. He is a very nice bloke, explained what he was doing, and showed me how to safely remove a bulb that had broken off in a light fitting myself next time it happened. It's a pleasure dealing with someone so straightforward and helpful. I would happily use him again next time I need an electrician.

    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
    • Local (especially independent) businesses should do like Wheelers Oyster Bar in Whitstable and offer a discount to anyone who can show them a receipt from Chacarero dated the same day.
    • Aria was great, he managed to come the same day after what had turned out to be a pretty long day at work and fix a really bad blocked pipe that needed to be resolved as soon as practicable. He’s lovely, professional and really helpful. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable plumber in the area. Thanks Aria!
