In relation to what Daniel can do, this was a small job, but we were very grateful that he was happy to take it on and help us out. He was really receptive to text messages, was very accommodating when we had to change the original work date, and was keen to get back to us as soon as the counters were re-fitted, so we had a working kitchen again. Really lovely chap, and we'd happily have him back for any other work we may need. Highly recommend him.

Aurora Electrical & Maintenance are based in Swansea covering South Weat Wales area. We carry out all Domestic and Commercial Electrical work from house rewires, to consumer unit changes. I have been qualified for just over 5 years but have been in the IT industry previously and have always carried out lots of my own DIY work. We also have a Maintenance arm to the business due to looking after a lot of Air BnB and landlord run properties, so also offer a wide range of services in this area. These have included plumbing issues, blocked toilets and sinks, replacing thermostats or thermal rods for hearing systems, installation of routers and access points and TV brackets and shelves. No question is a silly question, if we don't offer the service we have a directory full of other trades so should be able to provide a solution. We are a team of fully registered and qualified Electricians, we have full insurances (public and professional indemnity) and carry out our work to the highest standard. We offer EIC and EICR certification, and part p certification for building control. A number of estate agents use us for regular Electrical Inspection Condition Reports. Our vehicles are fully stocked up with the general stock needed so usually we can solve the electrical issue with ease and speed without the need to call back multiple times.
