 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duncan and his 2 team members arrived promptly on the morning and were quickly working under the house to replace the old wiring and install 2 power points and some new lights. They were friendly and finished the job by early afternoon which was well within the estimated scope of the work . Extremely pleased with the work and that there were no over-runs. Would therefore recommend him to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duncan and his team are absolute legends. We had an issue with the house/workshop constantly tripping, and Duncan took the time to properly diagnose the fault. It turned out we had a failed switchboard. He clearly itemised everything that needed to be done, explained each part of the job in a way we could understand, and then got everything installed as quickly as possible. We couldn’t fault the whole experience. What impressed us most was his honesty. He was upfront about the issues, transparent with his pricing, and his costs were very competitive. You can tell he genuinely loves his job, and that shows in the detail, care and workmanship he and his team put into everything they do. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It's been the third time in the last 10 years that we called Duncan to help us with the electrics and it's always been excellent. A great team, down to earth, honest, the kind of guys you like to have around, and they get the job done. I could not be happier 🙂

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Skene’s electrical upgraded our mains box ahead of a renovation. Quote was clear, workmanship excellent and all works competed on time with regular updates and communication along the way. Would use again and recommended their services.
