MJP ELECTRICAL Reviews 111

Liam from MJP was very helpful and came really quick to replace our shower after having no shower for 3 days as been let down multiple times would definitely recommend and use again

A pendant light they were supposed to have fixed as part of bringing a property up to EICR standard was not (according to my tenant) fixed when they came out. I reported this to them on the basis it must have been overlooked. They refused to come back to fix it properly implying the tenant had broken it. They made a temporary repair when they came out to quote me for smoke alarms they had told me were out of date, but which weren’t. The tenant has contacted me to say the same issue with the lamp has happened again. I think it is safe to say, on the balance of probabilities, it was never fixed it in the first place.
See my previous review on these scammers. I have reported them to Trading Standards. You should too if you’ve had the bad service I have.
Terrible. Goodness knows how many satisfied customers have, in reality, paid for unnecessary work.

MJP seemed like a good choice at first. Boy was I wrong. The EICR recommended a lot of work that was not necessary on the previous EICR - I ran with it. Things started to go awry the moment I asked for before and after pictures - which were not forthcoming without quite some chasing. Next, they went ahead with work without getting clearance and tried to add a further £200. Then I asked them to fix work they had missed (some exposed wiring) they tried to say it had been done already. Despite numerous chasing emails they never fixed it. They were asked to supply a quote for two supposedly out of date smoke alarms but then added in a heat sensor without being asked. I asked for them to split out the quote, they prevaricated. They told me it was a legal requirement to have a heat sensor - it isn't. When I queried this they refused to enter into further correspondence. They'll seem like a pukka outfit but will try to scam you in to paying for work that is not required by misrepresenting the law to you.

EDIT the tenant has just sent me photos of the two smoke alarms. Both are in date. Neither required replacing.

The appointment was fixed up for the next day, the electrician turned up on time and was able to fix a 2 way light switch that other electricians had said was unfixable. The invoice arrived same day so not left hanging to find out the charges, and were just a little higher than the quote, which made sense in terms of a replacement switch supplied. Will definitely use them again.

Excellent company. I have used them both personally and professionally and they are always professional, prompt, explain everything they are doing and trustworthy. Joe, John, Connor and the others on this job were brilliant and I would really recommend for any future jobs.

I needed a new shower fitting. MJP quoted promptly, were cheaper than the other quote I got, & the fitting was quick & efficient.
I'm very happy to recommend them

Very professional and courteous. Very efficient and helpful; got the job done. We highly recommend MJP electrical and would certainly use their services again. It is nice to be able to find a business that you feel you can trust.

Used MJP twice, first for replacing our board and the second for a variety of bits (light replacements, minor safety alterations etc).
Both times they were prompt, good service, prices were fine (had a mate review them). Quality of the work is great, I can happily recommend them.

They don't offer free quotes, despite what they tell you. If you call in they say submit the free quote request and you'll have one in two weeks. Or pay £66 to get a quote right away, the cost will come off the bill. Well 4 weeks after submitting the form for the free quote we had no response, when I called to follow up they said if we needed a quote soon we should go for the £66 option. We did and had an electrician there that day. We told the electrician what needed doing and then added we'd be interested in knowing how much 4 light fitting changes would be, but this isn't an urgent task. The quote we get has no breakdown of costs, and when I ask for one I'm told they are like a restaurant and offer a service and are unable to breakdown the cost. Well no restaurant I've been to doesn't list the price of their menu per item - so that analogy made zero sense. When I mentioned that we told the electrician we just wanted to know how much the light fittings would cost, then the quick responses turned to radio silence. 3.5 weeks went by with no response and so we were forced to decide to either go forward with a quote for items we don't necessarily need or lose £66.

EDIT AFTER THEIR RESPONSE: I'm not sure why the response keeps mentioning that I didn't raise my concerns with them directly, as they also admit to having spoken to me on the phone about my concerns.

I commissioned Mark to carry out a EICR examination of a 2 X bed rental property for £240. Particularly impressed by communication and actually turning up when he said. Property tested and now the sting. A traditional plastic consumer unit was labelled a C2 ( potentially dangerous)
A guide by Electrical Safety First clearly shows this as something that should be "NOTED" & NOT labelled as either a C2 OR C3.
The estimate to replace together with MINOR other works was £ 1358.72. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
As an ex NICEIC Electrian I know what mine are.

UPDATE !!!!

Employed another approved contractor for £140. Labelled consumer unit as a C3 ( advisory ) Still wrong but a lot cheaper than Mark's outrageous estimate.

BEWARE BEWARE !!!!!!

Carried out a few jobs in our home efficiently and effectively, would not hesitate to use them again. Great, friendly service at excellent prices so would highly recommend. Also came out in short notice and didn't let us down, couldn't be happier.
