Elect Building and Maintenance Ltd Reviews 108

Really happy with the work elect did on the front of my house today. The workers were friendly and did an excellent job. Didn't take long for them to book my appointment either.

I recently had insulation installed in my roof and had a great experience. The job was booked in quickly and communication with the supervisor was very easy. The men who carried out the work were excellent: friendly, professional, and very efficient.

Overall, I’m really pleased with the service and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing similar work done.

From the initial visit from Ameer to completion, the work was carried out promptly and carefully with minimum disruption. Kevin the builder worked really hard and kept us updated when power and water had to be turned off and tidy up every evening.

Tom attended my property for a boiler repair. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He was very conscious of noise and disturbance as I was working from home and had to take multiple teams calls. The job was completed with no issues and left the area clean and tidy. Thank you so much.

So gratefull for everything without these guys I would never of got my grant work done. I was poorly inbetween and the understanding of this was important to me....I now feel safe in my house ....Ameer was amazing with his organising skills and keeping on top of his team ...all round brill...I'm happy

Excellent service from Elect when they installed my new boiler. From Ameer the project manager, to the plumber on site, the whole process was smooth and well organised. Communication was clear throughout, the work was completed to a high standard, and everything was finished quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend them.

What a wonderful job Elect did for us transforming our bathroom into a wet room!!
Kevin who did the work was diligent with a great work ethic. He was also kind and caring about our needs.
Ameer his boss was also only concerned about our needs being met.
Overall it was a bit messy at times ( only to be expected ) but the outcome was every bit worth it

I’ve been fighting on behalf of my grandparents to get property damage and safety issues put right for weeks, after this contractor worked on their home as part of a council‑funded scheme.

From the start, it has felt like penny‑pinching and avoidance rather than taking responsibility. When a leak from their work damaged the living room flooring, I repeatedly asked for basic insurance details so it could be handled properly. My emails were ignored and I ended up having to involve the council, a councillor and an MP just to get the information that should have been provided as a matter of course. This was for a household that had already been flagged as vulnerable.

On site, the experience has been worse. There has been poor workmanship and serious safety concerns including an external pipe left as a trip hazard around a blind corner in the garden, at a home occupied by elderly residents. I only discovered this because I visited while they were away; had they tripped or fallen, the outcome could have been catastrophic. This was in a house they knew was vulnerable.

When I attended a visit to get issues made safe, the operative who came out was rude and dismissive from the outset. He spent several minutes on a personal call before even starting, then became defensive when I raised obvious concerns like concrete left on new electrical equipment. Rather than acknowledging this and putting it right, I was told in substance that the installers “shouldn’t have to clean up after themselves” and that they “get pennies for the install”. The message was clear: pride in the job and basic housekeeping were not a priority.

The operative then left without completing all of the make‑safe work, despite knowing I had travelled a fair distance to be there and that my grandparents just wanted their home back in a safe condition. This has meant yet another appointment for what should have been a simple five‑minute task, adding more stress and inconvenience to an elderly couple who did nothing wrong.

Overall, I’ve found this company:
- Unwilling to take straightforward responsibility for damage they caused
- Slow and obstructive when asked for standard insurance details
- Comfortable leaving obvious hazards in a vulnerable household
- Unprofessional and confrontational in person
- Happy to walk away with jobs unfinished, knowing it creates more hassle for the customer

My grandparents are grateful for the grant scheme itself, but the way this contractor has behaved has turned what should have been a positive adaptation into a drawn‑out, stressful ordeal. I would not recommend them to anyone, especially not to elderly or vulnerable people.

Ameer,Ben,Simon & Karol friendly, professional, hard working lads. Got stuck in and done a good job of their works. This company is much better this time round compared to last year.
Thankyou

Ameer & his team were absolutely fantastic. They managed to fit me in early & i can honestly say the lads that came to rip up my bathroom were a credit to the company. Ben and Simon came in did the job & spoke to us about the process of it. Incredibly helpful especially with a poorly little one that needed the bathroom alot. They were very patient with her & made the day easier.

Thankyou to the wonderful team for your work. My bathroom looks great!

Elect Building & Maintenance Ltd have just completed my wet room installation, and the results are nothing short of outstanding. From the very first day, the workmanship has been to the highest standard, with incredible attention to detail that has far exceeded my expectations.

Dave and Ameer were exceptional throughout – professional, polite, and approachable, always taking the time to make sure everything was exactly as I wanted it. They clearly take real pride in their work, and it shows in every part of the finish. Any issues that came up were dealt with immediately and without fuss, which made the whole process stress-free.

The wet room itself looks fantastic, works perfectly, and has been completed with a level of care and precision that is rare to find. Their reliability, skill, and commitment to quality mean I would recommend them to anyone looking for building or maintenance work.

If you want a team that delivers on their promises, respects your home, and produces work of exceptional quality, Elect Building & Maintenance Ltd are the people to call.

Highly recommened, Ameer and his team did a great job, all the lads were very polite and helpful nothing was too much trouble for them

What a fantastic company ! I have seen their vans all over Wigan and recently had the privelage of them completing some works in my property ! From the very start the communication from amir was clear , well organised and he was very compassionate and understanding about my husbands hospital needs and constantly adhered to my staggered schedule . My new kitchen is fabulous the joiner took his time to make sure
It was done perfectly and even when I didn’t like the tiles amir swapped them for me and now I’m thrilled , not often you see that from a council contractor . 5 star !!

Amit and his team were amazing they respected our client with care compassion and dignity our client said the plaster was very polite and very chatty. Ameer or Amir continue with excellent communication throughout all the works that’s needed to be carried out the jobs were carried out at our convenient due to access to the properties we at Ella Uk would highly recommend Ameer and his amazing team For any of the council work within in the Wigan.area thanks again to your amazing team

Brilliant service - Ollie and John completed plastering today in my hall, stairs and kitchen! Great fellas, fantastic teamwork. Walls look brilliant, fantastic workmanship leaving everywhere clean & today ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely shocking company, my landlord LIV Housing have unfortunately chosen them as contractors. Had a new boiler ‘installed’ by an engineer that didn’t even tell me his name or sign the installation booklet which is a lawful document after a gas boiler install. After he was at my property for 7 hours he left abruptly without telling me and the state he left my house in was disgusting he’d broken several tiles on my kitchen wall and puttied them over.. best thing is I was left without any heating or hot water! He didn’t even check before he left. Left my old boiler in my garden didn’t even have the decency to take the rubbish away. He stole three of my kitchen towels also? Very strange! Rang my housing association and they sent him out again to fix his many mistakes, as he’d not wired in the boiler properly and wrapped all the lose wires with electrical tape.. he’s been out again tonight and after an hour decided it can’t be fixed, shrugged his shoulders and left! He’s also cut out a huge chunk of my tiles out and left it in a shocking way, he’s stuck some sort of white box from my thermostat to the boiler, there’s no fault with my thermostat! It worked perfectly before he came out and ruined my kitchen and patience. I have no idea why anyone would chose these ‘engineers’ they need reporting and I’m going to do so.

Recap, I’ve got no heating or hot water, drilled holes and left my tiles in a right mess and still haven’t fixed the issue, a brand new boiler install isn’t meant to be difficult for a skilled engineer but somehow your engineer couldn’t do it! Ridiculously incompetent. Your company doesn’t reply to any negative reviews so I’m leaving this here to warn others not to use your company

John and Dave have just plasterboarded and plastered my ceiling brilliant job cleaned all mess up 2 really nice guys job well done highly recommend.

John and his apprentice only came to do "a small job" according to livv housing, they came on Tuesday an done treatment on my damp walls an even more than was reported, had to come back Wednesday to finish it. Done a brilliant job not like cowboys do! Was very happy friendly lads would highly recommend them both, left the house lovely and clean thank you

John and his apprentice olly were fantastic , very friendly and pleasant, cleaned up after they had finished plastering, highly recommend.

I had John and Dave for 3 days plastering my whole hall stairs and landing including ceilings. They have done an outstanding job. I'm made up with it. Very professional, polite lads who definitely know how to do their job. When the job was finished they left my home very tidy. Highly recommend these two lads.
