“We used JAH for our recent re wire and refurbishment. This included a new consumer unit, new kitchen installation, new central heating and hot water controls, new internal lighting, garden lighting and a new armoured garage power supply. The work was well planned and professionally installed with as little inconvenience to us as possible. Some time later we also needed to have some smaller jobs done... and the work was completed once again quickly and efficiently. We would always use JAH for any future jobs and would thoroughly recommend the company for any electrical work, large or small. A brilliant local company.”
