Have been using Penmans for years and will continue to do so. Their service is nothing short of awesome! Needed a job done at short notice and it was not an issue. Have always had great interactions with both office staff and workmen. You guys are great and we value your workmanship. Terry and Julie Fisher
I was having trouble with my double Electrolux oven. It was tripping the circuit. Penman sent two men out promptly to investigate. They fixed several things; however, it was something Electrolux had to deal with! A new element was required. Full marks for the two men who came out - several times they returned. No stone was left unturned!! Nice to have reliable local people!
I called early that morning for assistance needed on the day and they were able to help me. I really appreciated that they could make time for me, they did a great job at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.
As always a professional job completed and as expected and outstanding result all works requested IE new fans, cameras & lights done to the highest standards and as always Andy was helpful courteous and friendly 😀 👍🏻 great job from a small local business Regards Deb
Highly recommend Penman Electrical! Super professional, reliable and easy to deal with from start to finish. Arrived on time, got the job done efficiently and left everything clean and tidy afterwards. Great communication, honest pricing and quality workmanship. Bonus points for being a family-run business always love supporting local families. Will definitely be using them again for future electrical work. Thanks again guys!
Quality local business, the team do excellent work. I have had a number of electrical jobs completed at my residential address. Friendly, helpful and great at problem solving and working through ideas.
Neil and his team recently carried out extensive work in our home including installation and/or replacement of lights, power points, ceiling fans, spot lights and fire alarms. The team were punctual, polite and carried out the work very efficiently (and cleaned up any mess too), all at a good price. We highly recommend them. Thanks Neil.
