Contacted Josh about having a Hypervolt EV charger installed. Immediately came back with all details and pricing. Work was booked in, and the work was completed neat and tidy. Would definately use again / recommend to others. Thanks

Josh fitted us a new Fusebox, the whole process was smooth start to finish, even left the space cleaner than what it was originally! Really knowledgeable in his trade and a wonderful person to do business with! Will be using again for sure!

I first made contact with Barnes Electrical Ltd requesting a quote on having a Ohme Pro car charger installed. They were quick to call back and arranged a convenient time to come out and assess the property. On arriving for the quote they seemed very knowledgeable about the install and were happy to talk through 3 different approaches they could take, the quote was with me the very next day. After speaking face to face and the quote coming so quickly it was a no brainer to have them carry out the work. I choose an install where the electrical box was the opposite side of the house to the garage and drive way, they installed from the incoming box, behind the guttering in to the loft space, then exiting the loft space down behind the guttering and under the patio to the garage where the charger no sits between both garage doors. To say i was impressed by the standard of work is an understatement, the cables are so well hidden its difficult to tell exactly where they go. No nasty thick black cables around the house ruining the aesthetic. As soon as i can think of anything else around the house that requires an electrician, the only call I will make is to these guys, they genuinely were that good.

We have used Josh from Barnes Electrical for several years now! He has done everything from installing 13 solar panel systems, to re wires, car charges, and much more across multiple properties and projects. Couldn’t recommend more! We won’t use anyone else :)

Thoroughly Recommended, very professional

Quote process was quick and comprehensive. Turned up on the day and on time to carry out the installation. The work was done very professionally and Josh walked me through the various stages of what he had done. Plenty of chance to ask questions. All required certificates of compliance and certification were provided as are required nowadays, crucial when selling your house. The work did take a little longer than predicted which meant it did spill over in to the next day.

Barnes electrical is the only electrician I will use or recommend. I have used Josh for years and he has never let me down. No matter how short notice or how much work is required he has always been there and delivered amazing quality of work. I couldn’t recommend this company enough. Reliable, fairly priced and the quality of work is brilliant. I would not use anyone else. Thank you again to Josh for everything you have done for me and I look forward to using you in the future.

I recently had Barnes Elec install solar panels and a battery storage system at my home, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease. What really stood out was how hands-on and attentive they were throughout the whole process. They stayed with me every step of the way, answering all of my questions and ensuring I understood each phase of the installation. Their expertise was clear, and I felt confident knowing I was in safe hands. Not only was the installation smooth and efficient, but the team also took the time to explain how the solar panels and battery system would work, making sure I was comfortable with everything before they left. I highly recommend Barnes Elec to anyone looking to install solar panels and energy storage. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and the quality of their work are truly exceptional. I’m excited to enjoy the benefits of my new system, and I’m grateful for such a positive experience.
