hi my name is Andrew Silvera I've been an electrician for 28 years I also used to teach electrics at college to apprentices ,so it's Fair to say there's not much I don't know about electrics or anything with cables/signals. I'm an electrical Project manager as my daytime role trade so safety and quality is my forte .
Andy is a really nice guy, great communication, he popped round for a look and did the job on the spot as it was quick & easy. A little pricey given how quick it was! But very convenient to have it sorted so rapidly and I’d definitely hire Andy again.
