"Helpful, professional and polite service! We've had James Hawtin round several times over the last few months to do various electrical jobs around the house (fixing a dimmer switch, wiring a lamp, sorting out some fuse board issues...). He's always been professional and helpful, and has been good at checking up on longstanding problems. His prices are reasonable and he's been friendly and polite throughout."

"I have used Hawtin Electrical on several occasions to fit wireless heating controls to an existing central heating system. These are by no means straight forward and both times required some cunning rerouting of wires to get the system to work! James explained what was required at each stage of the job as it progressed and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again."

"I was very pleased with the quality of the work undertaken by Hawtin Electrical. James is reliable, trustworthy and pleasant to deal with and ensured all work was completed on time to fit in with major works we were undertaking on our house. He takes pride in his work and clearly understands the importance of customer service. I would definitely recommend Hawtin Electrical."

Askett, Buckinghamshire

"James is very polite and professional. The work I wanted him to do was a series of small light fittings including an outdoor security light. I was concerned it might be too small a job for some, but this wasn't a problem. The work was done well and although I called James back as ... well, as it turned out, the brand-new energy saving bulb was faulty and would light once but not again as evidenced by putting it in a lamp - he remained cheerful and professional."

Rachel Gauntlett 23rd July 2012 Oxford

"James was early for the appointment for the initial quotation, but late on the day that he was doing the job. He did, however, stay late until the job was finished. The work was done to a very high standard and James was happy to be left to get on with the work - overall a very satisfactory job, done at a reasonable price. Certainly, a trustworthy trader."

Excellent and I am very happy with the work that was carried out

I am extremely happy with the work James Hawtin from Hawtin Electrical carried out, I have used James twice now for different jobs and I will certainly keep his contact details if I need further work done, he keeps you informed when he is going to do the work, he is also a friendly person and I would recommend him to anyone.

Carolyn Littlemore, Oxford April 2021

All done quickly and thoroughly

James came and sorted out a light switch, checked out the circuit and tested the RCDs for us. The job was done quickly and thoroughly. He was friendly and cleared up everything afterwards.

Oxford, April 2021

Electrical testing and kitchen downlight replacement

As always, James provides an efficient, polite and high-quality service. Highly recommended. Good communication.

Oxford, January 2021

Professional, friendly and helpful

James Hawtin came at short notice to help find out where the fault lie with my underfloor heating, given this was Dec and freezing outside this was greatly appreciated. He was very knowledgeable and manage to find out where the problem was (with some faulty valves in a cupboard upstairs!) and as such I've managed to get a plumber in to fix the problem. We didn't know one but were happy to go with James' recommendation. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him to someone else. Thank you!

David, Headington, Oxford, December 2021

Electrician in Oxford Accreditation's

Landlord In Cowley & Bicester, Oxford

"James came into a new property I bought in Bicester, Oxfordshire and carried out an initial inspection which let me know what state the electrics were in. After the inspection and a further conversation with him, we decided to carry out some electrical work in the bathroom and garage as well as rewire the kitchen as we were replacing it anyway. All works were carried out neatly and tidily with all works tested and certificated which came in a nice folder keeping all our documents together. I would be happy to use James and Hawtin Electrical again knowing I would get a job well done". – Richard Garrett
