  Richard and his apprentice Morgan upgraded my consumer unit and provided me with an electrical safety certificate. He installed LED downlights in 3 bathrooms, after informing me that the halogen lighting was a fire risk on the PVC ceilings because they heat up. He installed linked alarms throughout the house to detect smoke, heat and CO. This work was to comply with safety legislation prior to tenants renting the property. The work was completed to a high standard. Richard worked hard to complete the jobs in a timely fashion and dealt with some unexpected faults he discovered whilst working. Prior to commissioning Richard, I had asked for an estimate of his labour costs, because my budget was limited. The final bill exceeded the estimate, and I challenged him. Richard explained that his estimate had not included travel time and additional office work. This was beyond my allocated budget, and I was worried. Richard was fair and reduced the final bill in accordance with my budget. This misunderstanding was sorted to my satisfaction, and Richard took a hit. There is a lesson to be learned here for both parties - make sure estimates and expectations are transparent.

  Excellent service installing solar panels, battery and gateway. Richard used an independent consultant for on site survey and design, and a roofer to secure the panel rails. Very professional and happy to recommend.

  Richard and Paul organised the supply and fitting of our solar panels, as well as the scaffolding and roofer. They were careful, thoughtful and thorough with a minimum of fuss and mess. And the price was very competitive. The battery and equipment look very neat and don't take up much space. The panels look fine. We highly recommend R. Telfer. Call them first.

  From our first contact with Richard regarding the full rewiring of an old stone property, we were impressed with his thorough and professional approach to all aspects of the job. He kept us fully informed of progress, never failed to turn up when he said he would, completed the job on time and kept strictly to the quoted price. Thank you again Richard to you and your team for an excellent job. Rob & Jane.
