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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
