What he does
The jobs, plainly listed.
Emergencies
Power down? Say it's urgent when you ring.
Emergency call-outs go to the front of the queue, on both sides of the border.
Solar in Cumbria? Aye, it works.
Sunlight's free, even here.
Panels don't need Spanish sun, they need daylight, and the Eden Valley has plenty. Greg is RECC registered for solar PV and battery storage, which means the advice is straight and the paperwork is proper. He'll tell you honestly what your roof can do, and what it can't.

Commercial & workshop
Workshops can't afford a day off.
From machine shops to farm buildings, working premises need power that's there at six in the morning, every morning. Greg handles commercial and workshop jobs across the county and over the border: three-phase supplies, machine circuits, distribution boards, yard and security lighting. Proper kit, weatherproof, certified.
How it goes
Three steps, no faff.
Ring Greg.
Tell him what's up. If it's urgent, say so.
He looks, you get a straight price.
No surprises halfway through.
Job done, place tidy, certificate in your hand.
And your lights stay on.
Hold to switch the power on
That's Greg's favourite part too.
What people say

Where he works
Cumbria and south-west Scotland, an hour from Carlisle.
Based in Carlisle, working both sides of the border: the Eden Valley, the Solway Plain, and Dumfries & Galloway. If you're within an hour of Carlisle, you're on the patch, and if you're not sure, ring and ask.
Fair questions
The things people actually ask.
Will he actually turn up?
He'll agree a time and keep it. If a job before yours runs over, you get a call, not silence.
What's it going to cost me?
You get a price before work starts. If the job throws up something unexpected, work stops and you decide.
Do I get a certificate?
Every notifiable job comes with the proper certificate, handed over when the job's done.
How long will the power be off?
You'll know when it's going off and for how long before it happens, so you can plan around it. It stays off no longer than it has to.
Is my fuse box dangerous?
Plenty of old boards are fine. An EICR inspection will tell you honestly what needs doing now and what can wait.
Get it sorted
Power, quietly on.
Ring Greg, or send it over. Calls get answered fastest; the form's for after hours, or if you'd rather write it down.
