Part P Electrician
About

Self Employed Electrician, apprentice trained by Derbyshire County Council in schools, care homes and other public buildings, qualified in 1982. Studied up to HND level, Part P registered since 2005 currently with Napit, JIB graded as Technician.

These days I mainly concentrate on domestic work local to Derby but have previous experience as marine engineer on ocean going, environmental research vessels. Also touring show/event electrician (Olympics, Commonwealth Games, Euro Soccer, F1, Glastonbury, Cirque Du Soleil etc.)

VSO volunteer electrical instructor in Kenya 1989-92 in a rural polytechnic, instructing Kenyan lads in preparation for Government trade tests.

Previously a solar PV installer until the cuts in FIT tariffs in 2011.

Prefer smaller jobs these days, no rewires please, I no longer perform EICR'S (electrical Installation Condition reports). Can also undertake basic handyman jobs.

My phone is an old Nokia 1208 so texts and calls only please, I respond to emails from home on laptop so may take a little while.

Thanks.

    Dave has recently done some work wiring up my new kitchen, and in the past has done routine electrical maintenance at Derby Rugby Club. Also fitted electric heaters in changing rooms. All his work is up to standard. He is also punctual, and communicates well, keeping you upto date on progress and plans. I'd certainly use him again.

    Dave has performed numerous electrical jobs at our property including commission of hot tub, various external spot lights, internal lighting and lastly an EV car charger all to an excellent standard. Highly recommended.
