  Sam did an amazing job refitting our sockets, light fittings and switches in the upstairs bedrooms. Highly recommend. Thanks Sam 🙂

  The electric cut of switch to my shower stopped working. Sam arrived very quickly and replaced the switch for me. Very reasonable charge. Cleaned up after himself leaving no mess. Very friendly, personable helpful man. Would recommend & definitely would use again should the need arise. Many thanks.

  I found Sam Bader Electrical in the little green book, he was absolutely wonderful! It was late on a Friday evening and my electrics went off. I know what needs to be done, but I have broken my hip so I couldn’t reach the fuse box. Some friends came round and he talked them through how to how to put it right over the phone there and then. Later he came out himself and identified exactly what the problem was (fridge freezer which I have now replaced). He was wonderful and I’ll be using him again.

  I contacted Sam about getting a power supply to my garden office, he was very quick to come around and walkthrough the job with me, giving me options and explaining pro’s and cons of each setup. We had a window from delivery to getting the office built, Sam kept in contact to confirm all was going well and making sure there weren’t any delays. He planned to come in in the day we finished the roof and got everything connected up and tested really quickly, even while he was doing he was giving me options and finding out what I… [read more]may do in the future, this helped to future proof my installation and has given me some ideas for what I can do down the line. Overall very happy with the service and work done, I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an electrician.

  Sam did an excellent job at sorting out my outside lighting. All work perfectly well and he took time in getting the exact angle with no tweaking necessary afterwards. Sam is very friendly and helpful with recommendations. I will certainly call on Sam again for any future work which needs to be done.

  I have used Sam several times before and, as always, he is, personable, efficient, conscientious and caring. I had a 16 year old extractor fan that was dripping water. Sam found the problem quickly, rectified it, ensured that the fan was safe, cleaned everything up, and added sealant on the roof as a precaution. I have no reservations in saying I have every confidence in him.

  I am so pleased with the work that Sam and Ash completed for me. As soon as I met them when they came to quote I felt very confident ithey would do a good job, explaining clearly what was necessary and what was not. When it came to completing the job they were fantasic, worked hard and were so neat and tidy, leaving the areas spotless. Will definitely be asking them to complete any future work for me and have already recommended them to family and friends.

  Found Sam’s details in Our Local Expert and sounded just the ticket as his ad mentioned LED lighting. He was extremely prompt in responding to our enquiry and supplying a quote. Sam and Ashley replaced all our existing faulty ceiling lights with the products we supplied. They did a first rate job – efficient, courteous and tidying as they went. The job was very reasonably priced. We will definitely be using them again and would not hesitate to recommend them.

  Can thoroughly recommend Sam and his colleague Ash who carried out fault finding and corrective work to the complex electronics which control our underfloor heating. They arrived promptly and cheerfully, diagnosed we needed a new printed circuit board which then proved hard to source. Particularly impressive was that Sam declined to source one at £250 but searched for a couple of weeks to find one at a third of the price.

  What can I say?! Sam came on board with a fairly large project at the last minute and was excellent. As the project grew same Sam his team excelled with some ideas to get the project over the line. Providing detailed costs before the job and working on ways to limit further spending. Professional and committed, Sam knows his stuff! Will be using again on the next project and recommending his services to possible clients. Thank you S Bader Electrical!!!!

  This young man is a diamond! I needed my old halogen security spotlights replaced with LED. Sam promptly came to quote and advise and, even though he was very busy, fitted me in after another local job. A bulb provided with one of the lights was faulty and Sam said he would get a new one and replace it when next in the area. He was as good as his word.

  We had a problem with our entire system tripping out for no apparent reason. Contacted several electricians who said that too busy and then found Sam. He rejigged his schedule and fitted us and short notice. He spent 3 hours with his mate testing everything and concluded that problem was down to ‘an amalgam of earth leakage’ and recommended replacing the consumer units which, whilst still legal, did not comply with current requirements. I was happy to go ahead as did not like the fact that a fault on 1 circuit could trip the whole lot. He came back to… [read more]fit the new units a couple of weeks later and then tested the entire system. Very happy with the work done and a pleasure to have Sam around. Not been in this area long but really pleased to have found a good and reliable electrician. Will definitely use again.

  Sam & his team are first class electricians, and are about as polite, friendly and efficient a bunch as you could ever want to come into your home!They work quickly, clear up properly after their work, and do not over charge.I had to ask several times for my invoice, as Sam seems (unsurprisingly) up to his eyes in work.Worth waiting for if he is busy, though I am pretty sure they would do their utmost to help in an emergency.Highly Recommended.

  Sam did a great job on my renovation, he was willing to get involved at an early stage and provide some valuable thoughts on design. I had a smart system installed with voice controlled lights and Sam was happy to work with the products i requested. overall, project delivered on time and the specification we wanted. Having used a number of electricians in the past before I moved to Devon, Sam is one of the best i’ve come across. Nothing too much trouble and always willing to help and is contactable.A huge plus for Sam is the broken… [read more]down estimates and invoices, everything is transparent which is great.I would recommend sam 100%

  Mine was only a little job; I needed a single socket turning into a double one for a broadband extender. It was no problem to fit me in during the following few days and I was warmly greeted, courteously, and the job done speedily and efficiently. They were mindful of the need to clear away the small amount of inevitable mess and I was immediately able to set up my broadband extender. Definitely someone I shall be recommending.

  We were given Sam’s Baders number from a friend and told he was really quick, professional and a great worker – we asked S.Bader Electrical to call to look at some properties we had recently converted and were really thrilled with the men that came to carry out the works.. They were really courteous, professional, took their shoes off, clean workmen and really nice with it. We would recommend Sam to anyone and everyone – well done Sam and thank you for all the help you gave us.

  Sam came and did work for us on recommendation of the chap that has been helping us renovate our house. He was flexible and worked around the timescales of the other tradesmen, ended up working late to get it finished so we could keep in schedule. Him and his partner were friendly and worked efficiently, leaving the place as they found it. Highly recommended, made it simple and easy.
