Where are they!? I've phoned what must be like 10 so far and they either don't answer so i leave a voicemail and no phone back, they come across really cowboy, or they just tell you their not interested.

Is it just a busy time of year for them or is this normally what it's like in Leeds?

Well i dont know any in leeds, but i do know a chap called Brett who runs connect electrical and does my electrical work.

He'll be about 60 miles from you, but i'm sure he'd try help you out, i mean work is work isn't it.

You could try give him a call, it might be the jobs too small to travel the mileage but sure he'll be honest and say that.

What sort of electrical work? Diagnostics, wiring issues, sound systems?

Sometimes worth asking on a local Facebook selling or community group. Try that.

Electrical companies will find it hard to compete on this type of job against some gezza that has nicked all the gear from work and will come one Saturday morning to install it.

I'd rather pay for a company then some gezza so that's who i'm trying to find. Being part of a tradesman family (unfortunately not in Leeds) I want to make sure i get a proper company to come do a good job!

Try Martin Day, used him for a full house rewire as well as some smaller jobs like new sockets etc.
