Very satisfied customer.
Richard was great. He initially just talked through what he believed would be best for our van given our intended use. He then provided a really reasonable quote, removed our old system and installed a totally new one which works flawlessly.
We will definitely be using Richard for any future electrical work.

I found Richard on Google, after having a bad experience with someone who did some van electrics for me. I live in my van and it was really important to find someone who knew what they were talking about and with a high standard of work. He is both these and more, Richard has massively improved my quality of life with his electrical work and recommended high quality products that I needed. I would never let anyone else do electrical work on my van again except him, I am very grateful for all his work.

Richard is very knowledgeable and professional. He fitted two smoke alarms for us - he arrived at the agreed time and stopped until the work was completed (unlike some trades people). Highly recommended.

I can highly recommend Mr Barley He advised me how to go about finding a suitable replacement for my faulty shower, then came and fitted it taking great care to ensure that it was working properly. He is clearly a very knowledgeable, professional gentleman and charged a very reasonable price for the job.

We couldn’t be more grateful to Richard for his incredible work on our van conversion project. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. His patience, professionalism, and willingness to share his expert advice made such a difference, especially as we navigated the complexities of a bespoke electrical setup.
No question was ever too small, and Richard took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring we understood each step of the process. He truly cared about getting the best possible outcome for us, and it shows in the quality of his work.
Thanks to Richard, we now have a beautifully functional, safe, and efficient electrical system that has completely transformed our van. We’re so grateful for his dedication, kindness, and genuine passion for what he does.
If you’re looking for an electrician who’s not only highly skilled but also an absolute pleasure to work with, we couldn’t recommend Richard more highly.
