Quick response to a request for some work. The electrician who came was very professional, approachable and undertook his work in a clean and tidy manner. He was also aware of social distancing needs.

MJP came over in short notice and walked me through what was needed and what optional extras we could do.Really happy with the amount of communication throughout and how MJP kept to the timescales given.Overall very impressed with the quality installation and electrical expertise. Would highly recommend.

10/18/2019- We employed Mark and his team to fully re-wire our property. They were courteous, professional and extremely efficient. Although traditionally a messy job, the lads kept the disruption to a minimum. I would not hesitate to use their services again, and would thoroughly recommend using MJP Electrical for any works needed.

5/13/2020 I've used MJP Electrical based in Bristol for my electrical work for several years now. They always deliver an excellent service. Most recently I had an EV charge point (Pod Point) installed. Despite the COVID-19 restrictions they were able to safely carry out the work observing social distancing at all times due to the work being outside. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
