A previous “electrician” had done an awful job when they rewired our house so in view of getting a loft hatch fitted John came to tidy the wires in the loft. John was very thorough and checked that all of the cables were safe and connected as they should be. He then secured them all down and neatened up the loft ready for the hatch to be installed. He even made a video of the work for me to send to the contractor.
This is the second time John has done work for us and we wouldn’t use anyone else. He is always friendly, works tidily and of course sings along as he works. Thanks John

We can’t recommend John highly enough — he really went above and beyond sorting out our replacement hob and oven, when things were much less straightforward than we were anticipating! He is extremely accommodating, friendly and reliable, and does a professional job.

I would recommend John to complete any electrical job you may have.

Julie Mansfield , Great Notley 18/03/2021

I called John on behalf of my 89 year old neighbour, who lives alone and had lost the use of most of her sockets.  John explained he was booked up for several weeks ahead but in the circumstances would come over to assess the problem.

As agreed, he turned up on his way home to “have a look”.  He saw the dire straights she was in and stayed for 3 hours, until he had diagnosed and then rectified a multitude of faults. John charged a very reasonable fee for this work.

John is clearly a very competent electrician but more than that he is an honest, friendly and conscientious man… a rare breed.

Dave & Hayley, Great Notley 13/3/2021

Electrical Fault
Outstanding service 10/10.

I’m embarrassed it’s taken me this long to write a review for John. John is true to his mission statement, it’s so refreshing to deal with someone who will call/text you back, arrive on time, listens to you, completes the job to timescales and to quote. I’ve needed electrical works a few times; John is without doubt my go to person and will be in contact with him again soon.
To date John has installed bedroom wall lights, outside lights, a new consumer unit, many new socket points, moved the cooker, garage/study sockets, bedroom and kitchen down lights, Nest Smoke Alarms and an outside socket. All completed as requested, and as mentioned above to time and quoted cost.
Thanks John
Ian and Amanda – Great Notley

I’d read so many glowing recommendations on our local Facebook page but never had occasion to meet John, until recently. I would absolutely recommend him as I found him to be knowledgeable, reliable, reasonable and personable. Despite it being late on a Friday evening (when I’m sure John wanted to get home) the work was carried out to a high standard and not only did he leave it clean

Katie Pryke      Great Notley

Excellent job!!

Thank you John for doing such a fantastic job at our house. It wasn’t plain sailing as it was supposed to be an easy job of fitting two outside sockets but he uncovered a load of problems with the wiring in our house & had to correct everything before he fitted the sockets. His patience & professionalism were outstanding & we would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks again John.

Nicola      Great Notley

As customers, all anyone wants is a contractor who is honest, reliable and professional, who will do an excellent job at a realistic price,(hard to find these days).

Really impressed with John’s professionalism and attention to detail. Our garage conversion requires electrics from scratch and he took the time to help us work our ideas into firm plans. Very much appreciated having detailed quotes.

John came to my house today to fit various lights, both inside and out, replace and fit faulty smoke alarms and to rewire kitchen applicances. John also fixed a couple of other electrical nuiances for us whilst he was here too. No job is too big or too small. John is professional, polite and gentleman. I had a couple of quotes for the work that I needed doing, and John’s prices are highly competitive. I will not hesitate to use him again and will recommend to friends and family.

Thank you

Scott Braintree

A new shed needed new electrics so I called John to come and give me a quote. I explained what I needed and he understood and carried out the work exactly as I asked. A new mini consumer unit, sockets inside and out and LED lighting. Everything was of good quality and the workmanship was to a high standard, clean and tidy and all at a very affordable price.

Steve Lee White Court

The Notley Green Community Centre has had need of Johns services twice in the last week. The first was a scheduled appointment, to hide the wiring to 12 high level lights. John, as always, arrived at the agreed time and then worked through to 2am to complete the work in one visit, keeping any disruption to our busy hirer schedule to a minimum.
The second visit was to fit our new defibrillator machine which arrived unexpectedly. Not wanting to delay the possible use of the machine, we called upon John and he came out on a snowy Saturday morning to install it, free of charge.
John is our ‘go to guy’ for anything electrical and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing electrical work or advise. Great guy, great workmanship and great community spirit, thank you John 😊

Nicky and Neil Great Notley Village Hall

We recently moved into an older house and wanted the lighting and sockets updating. John did a fantastic job. Being an older house it threw up a lot of problems and he managed to fix and overcome each one. John worked around other contractors that were working on the property at the same time and at times it was very cosy! Thoroughly recommend John as a trustworthy, professional, caring and considerate contractor, who went above and beyond to make sure the work was carried out to a very high standard.

Sarah & Terry Sible Hedingham

John recently completed an external electrical job for me which was not straightforward. He did an excellent job – he turned up when he said he would, charged exactly what he quoted and was knowledgable, personable and explained every step clearly and coordinated with another contractor on the day. I found his professionalism and honesty to be first class and will definitely use his services for any future electrical work I require. Thoroughly recommended!

James Northfield Halsted

John came to my property today to inspect all my electric the whole house and I must say how impressed I was. Not just with the work he did but the professionalism with which he did it. Affordable and on time….. OUTSTANDING. Thanks John.

Beware his singing voice isn’t as good as hes electrics.
Great service.

Westley  Silver End

John came highly recommended and he certainly lived up to his reputation. He came out to us at short notice for an emergency repair. We then asked him to quote on a whole list of jobs; the quote was provided quickly with all the detail you’d expect and more. Very professional. It was easy to arrange a date for the work to be carried out and he turned up as promised, carried the work out with minimal fuss and to a very high standard. It’s taken a long time to find an electrician like John who we’d wholeheartedly recommend!

Honest, fair pricing, knowledgable and trustworthy, no problems at all, very reliable.
John will quote you for what you need doing. I ended up paying less than quoted even though I was prepared to pay what was originally quoted. I don’t know if this was an over estimate or if the job was more simple than first thought, but either way John spotted it and adjusted invoice accordingly.

Lee Johnston Braintree

Rosemary & Wally a Flitch Green

We are so pleased to have found John. Not only does he know what he is doing, he is entirely honest and transparent. John undertook two minor jobs that some other electrician’s wouldn’t consider. He turned up when he said he would, and has since fitted a wireless heating programmer, fixed a three way socket, and we hope to have new outside lights fitted in the future. John advised us to what he was doing throughout.
Very impressed.

Dan & Kate Felstead

WHAT A FIND!
John is brilliant!
This is the first time we’ve used him and he will now be the only electrician for us in the future.
He sorted the installation of a new oven, did fab work on new outside lights for the front and rear of our house (which he supplied himself – excellent quality!), and also fitted a new hall light (which I’d bought ages ago and the fittings turned out to be non-standard, but John fixed it!).
John didn’t just do as he said, but went on to give various options and ideas.
We’ve always been anxious about having tradesmen in the house and with John this problem has disappeared. He’s like having a friend in the house – totally trustworthy and with a brilliant sense of humour. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

s: As before we found John to be professional in his approach to the work as well as friendly and sociable in his general behaviour. The price quoted for the work was the price we paid with no “added extra’s” as with some tradesmen. Will definitely use John again in the future and recommend him to our friends and family.

Subject: John Callaghan

John has just completed an upgrade to my TENBY consumer board as fitted to most early builds on Woodlands Park. He researched all possible solutions for this unit which is no longer in production, offered a number of possibilities together with their attendant costs, all of which helped me make an informed choice at a reasonable cost. He arrived on time and completed the work as promised at very sensible price .

ALAN BOWIE – GREAT DUNMOW

Reviews: Having moved to Dunmow I did not know a local electrician. I got his number out of a local magazine and he answered my call gave me some good advice on the phone. John turned up on time, did a good job and was reasonably priced. Now I have a good local tradesman who I will use

LYDIA – GREAT DUNMOW

Reviews: A strange call out but John got to the bottom of it very quickly. I can highly recommend John as a very courteous, honest, hard working man. I feel very lucky to have found him and he will always be the one to call. You don’t find many people these days that you can rely on but JC is your man!!

M MELAMED – BRAINTREE

s: There is only one electrician in Braintree that you should call and his name is JC!! I have used his services a number of times with my rental properties. Every time he is courteous, very honest, and I know he will endeavour to help even the funniest of situations. Thanks again!

M MELAMED – BRAINTREE

Reviews: Reviews: Honest, genuine and very reliable. I have now had John visit my home a few times and I have been so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He always fits in around my schedule of teaching. Nothing is too much trouble for him. I will be recommending him to all my colleagues, family and friends. Put Johns number in your address book you will not be disappointed

ANGELA WINT – BLACK NOTLEY

He’s done it again! Booked for a another electrical job… but how many tradesmen do you know who will turn up, all smiley and raring to go… at 7.30am?! Top class job… so trusted to crack on with the job and leave us 100% satisfied… we left him with a house key, went to work and he locked up when he’d finished. It’s so easy to see why JC is Braintree and Notley’s preferred electrician!

ANDY LONGSTAFF – BRAINTREE 

A TRUSTY TRADESMAN!! We asked John to visit my elderly mother who had faulty ceiling light. John came to my mothers rescue immediately. It turned out to be a minor fault which John fixed quickly and to his credit refused to take any payment. It is important to trust a tradesman and this episode has proved John to be extremely trustworthy! We will look to John for any future electrical work needed and most definitely recommend John to anyone.

KAREN &CHRIS JONES – BRAINTREE

Reviews: What a fantastic guy John is… no wonder he’s Braintree and Great Notley’s preferred choice for electrician! John came out late one evening, to provide a quote during our new bathroom installation and provided the best written quote I’ve ever seen, within 24-hours. When John visited, he’d secured our trust and we left him to it whilst we went to work! He really listens patiently to your needs and gives excellent advice on securing the very best result for the job. The quality of John’s work is as extremely high as his sense of humour and honesty. His work was completed quickly, tidily, professionally and very competitively priced. I’m sorry we didn’t get John in from the outset… but business card now secured to our pin-board, we will never hesitate to call upon John for the next job… and recommend him to new customers with absolutely no reservations. Thanks JC!

ANDY LONGSTAFF – BRAINTREE

Reviews: John was very prompt in contacting after my initial message and he managed to fit our work in very quickly. The price charged was very fair and the job carried out very efficiently. He needed to return on a second occasion and turned up at the exact time we had scheduled. I would unhesitatingly recommend this helpful,polite and friendly worker.

RON BAILISS – BRAINTREE

Reviews: Quick to respond to the request for a quote, and was helpful on the first visit, including reassuring me that I didn’t actually need one part of the work done, which he could quite easily have gone ahead with and charged me for. Work was completed as agreed, with plenty of explanation and involvement on the day to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. Would definitely recommend John and use him again.

Jon Coe – White Court 

I found Johns details in a local magazine and he was also recommended by someone else. He came to do an estimate, was very honest and didn’t try to rip me off. He was also very informative, professional and passionate about doing things correctly. He arrived to do the work at the time he arranged and made sure everything was checked and double checked. Overall I am very satisfied with his work and would have no hesitation in recommending him to someone else.

John came to repair our oven – he gave advice on the phone, came out the next day to diagnose and returned to fit the parts when they arrived. He turned up exactly when he said he would and was great at keeping in touch between visits. He also checked a couple of sockets and gave some other useful advice. I highly recommend John and will definitely use him again for any electrical work.

He was always polite and friendly, his rates are great value and he supplied and fitted without any problem, making himself available to carry out the work when I requested. I would definitely call him back again and recommend him to others.

John came and fitted two new lights for us today. Did a great job at very reasonable rate and we are already looking to book him for further work in January as we are very happy with his work and service.

Kelly Leader – Great Notley

We had lots of little electrical jobs that we wanted doing…. two new light fittings, an extra spotlight, a replacement light pull and new kitchen worktop lighting. John fixed all of these in one day and at a very reasonable rate. He kept in good contact before and arrived when he said he would. We would definitely use him again!

Sophie Allchin – Great Notley

John has completed a couple of small but very fiddly jobs for us, very neatly and efficiently. He has a great way of explaining what is required for safety, and what can be left. I felt great confidence in his professionalism in completing the work and that he would only suggest work that was required to be safe and necessary. I would be very happy to ask John to carry out any future work, small or large scale and would recommend him to family and friends who require electrical work.

Paul Woodcraft – Rayne

 John is very thorough. He tests the electrical circuits before and after he carries out any work. We have used him twice now and can recommend him to anyone. He is very courteous, turns up on time and is a very pleasant and respectful chap.

Fred Gridley – Braintree

Hi, I just had to write a review on our experience with John. He saw my little girl (3) and said hello and started a conversation with her, which most tradesman usually just ignore the kiddies so that in my book is a BIG thumbs up. He turned up on time. The job wasn’t a straight forward one and he went through everything thoroughly to find the answer to our weird lack of power. He was very polite and cleared up after himself. Generally just a honest, nice, reasonably priced, hardworking tradesman who we have already booked up again. Thank you John and Poppy is happy with her room working again 😎 We would definitely recommend him to our friends

Charlie Nash – Great Leighs

Honest, genuine and very reliable. I have now used John several times in my salon and have been so impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He always fits in around the salon opening times and nothing is too much trouble for him. I will be recommending him to all my clients, family and friends. Put Johns number in your address book you will not be disappointed! 🙂

Tracy Butler – Braintree

John is truly one of the most decent tradesperson you could wish to meet. He took on the job after I was let down by another local electrician and worked tirelessly to finalise the job in keeping with other trade schedule. He keeps to his word and arrives early or late to fit in with the schedule. The job was not straightforward but John kept with it and worked very hard. I would definitely recommend John to anyone and would be happy to be contacted for a reference.
THANK YOU JOHN!

John Callaghan did some work in my home, he was very polite and courteous. He gave a good quote and stuck to his pricing – no hidden extras. He was due at 9am on the Tuesday and was there on the dot, the following day he was again on time and both days he tidied up properly after himself. The work he did was very well carried out and he was chatting to me throughout to say what he was doing, he kept any disruptions to a minimum and I wouldn’t hesitate to use John again or to recommend him to anyone. A truly nice, genuine man

John repaired my oven very efficiently diagnosing the element as the problem within minutes . He advised me to cancel the replacement element I had ordered direct from Creda at £66 ad took responsibility for saving me money by sourcing one from an Internet parts supplier for £33 .
