I just wanted to say how amazing your customer service is. You are the first (and only?) trade company that communicates and is efficient from my experience. I really appreciate texts, and emails giving me updates. It means I don’t have the frustration of having to stay in for the electrician all day and waste my time. You run an excellent service. Your electrician was great and very quick. We will definitely be using you again.
Karen was amazing I can not recommend her highly enough she went over and above my expectations and was indeed a bright spark to my day and helped with love ❤
Thank you for sending us Phil to restore light to all corners of our home. Most agreeable and efficient gentleman who didn't flinch visibly at the dusty mysterious corners where ancient wires lay in ceiling space and appliances wired from the dark ages.
Your electrician Philip was punctual, friendly and very efficient. Would certainly use you again and recommend your company.
I was really impressed with the work done for me by Bright Sparks. It is lovely that they are local to me in Hildenborough and grateful that they could fit me in at short notice. The repairs were done quickly and easily by Charlie and the whole thing coordinated by Karen who kept me informed every step of the way. Well done Bright Sparks!
