Customer Reviews
Trusted by Customers Across Cornwall
"My experience of Grid and Glow was excellent. First and foremost, Sam is excellent. His communication is first class — a rare commodity in electricians from my experience. He swiftly responds to messages and is clear. Throughout his time in our house, Sam was courteous and respectful, taking care to ensure the house was left as he found it with no mess. The quality of his work was excellent and he kept us informed of progress throughout. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sam and his company to anyone. He will now be our go-to for future work."
"Sam has been absolutely excellent and we would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for an extremely prompt, accommodating, and detail oriented electrician! He has done a range of jobs for us from electric gates, treatment plant, electric door openers etc and he is always happy to take on a new challenge. 10/10!"
"Great service! Brilliant communication and very helpful to help us find the right solution. Worked very professionally and clean and tidy, would recommend to anyone needing any work done!"
"We enquired with Grid and Glow for a few quotes including some kitchen down lights, a new socket and an outside light. Sam was very knowledgeable, timely and professional. The quotes were very competitive and we went ahead and booked in for the down lights. Sam discussed the different options available and arrived on time to complete the work. The work was carried out to a high standard and in a timely fashion. We will be using Sam for any future electrical works we require and I can fully recommend Grid and Glow to anyone looking for electrical works."
"I would highly recommend Sam for any electrical work. He was very easy to deal with and explained what needed to be done. I would definitely use Sam again should I have any other electrical work."
"Used Grid and Glow to install two electric heaters in our small cottage. It involved creating a new plug socket and installing the wall mounts to fit the heaters. Everything was done to a top standard, the electrician was lovely, and everything was done quickly and tidily. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is in need of any electrical work!"
"I called Grid and Glow out to fix our oven isolator switch and the job was done fast and professionally all for a great price. Would recommend if you have any electrical issues and need a trustworthy and honest electrician."
