What Oxford Says

Trusted by homeowners & landlords

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 62 verified reviews on Which? Trusted Trader. Here's what customers across Oxfordshire say.

"Have used this trader twice now and can happily say they provide an excellent service — the latest job to rewire a new house and replace the fuse board. Very thoughtful and professional throughout."

P
Pat Hemmings
Blackbird Leys, Oxford

"New to the area, we researched feedback and were drawn by James's stellar reputation — an inspired choice. A perfect job, a valuable source of advice, and excellent at problem-solving, which saved us a lot of money. We'd recommend him without reserve."

D
David & Christina
Oxfordshire

"James came into a property I bought in Bicester and carried out an initial inspection. All works were neat, tidy, tested and certificated in a nice folder. I'd happily use Hawtin Electrical again."

R
Richard Garrett
Landlord, Bicester

"Third time we've used Hawtin and we'd always recommend him. Efficient and really helpful — he tackled some unusual issues with an attitude of really wanting to solve them. We've an old terraced house with dodgy wiring galore and he's totally uncomplaining!"

T
Tom
Oxfordshire

"We bought an apartment in Woodstock that needed substantial updating and safety certification — old storage heaters removed, distribution boards reconfigured and substantial rewiring for two offices. A big project, expertly handled. Thanks James."

C
Catherine
Woodstock, Oxfordshire

"James installed power points and switches in my summer house, fitted the main circuit box in the kitchen and ran the wiring out neatly along the walls. Very neatly done — looks great, tidy and quick with minimum fuss. Highly recommend."
