Testimonials

Having attended our offices to undertake PAT testing of all our electrical devices we would like to thoroughly recommend the services of MS Electrical. Our offices have a multitude of mains powered devices of varying types, age and complexity – none of which phased the MS Electrical team. They undertook the task of locating each respective item and systematically testing it to the current standards in a professional and competent manner. Where there were any problems they reported the issue to us with their suggested course of action. Also, where the issues were minor (such as the wrong fuse) they replaced them as they went. No fuss. Prior to MS Electrical's visit I had told our staff to “brace themselves” for a lot of disruption, but how wrong I was! Other companies may leave you feeling like a whirlwind has been though the place, but MS Electrical could not have been more different. Thank you and please make sure we are in the diary for next year!
