Excellent service
It was beyond a pleasure to work with Shahi Patel of Eco Tech Electrical Contractors Ltd. Shahi Patel is very professional and knowledgeable. He always goes that extra mile to explain things in layman terms, which is extremely useful. I would highly recommend Shahi Patel, Surinder who manages all the administrative functions and Eco Tech Electrical Contractors Ltd --- They are a brilliant team. Review from a super satisfied customer, Adrienne.
Excellent service, very speedy and efficient. Thank you
Great service from Eco Tech Electrical Contractors Ltd. My shop shutter in IG11 kept tripping the fuse which also caused my security door mag‑lock to stop working. As a gold shop this was a serious security issue. Shashi arrived quickly, diagnosed the fault and repaired everything professionally. Very reliable and trustworthy electrician. Highly recommended
We’ve used Eco Tech Electrical Contractors several times now for different compliance jobs and they’ve been excellent every time. They carried out our EICR last year, then installed our fire alarm panel and emergency lighting, and most recently helped us with surge protection after we had issues with our machines and inverters. All the work has been completed to a very high standard, everything is explained clearly, and the service is always reliable and professional. Highly recommended for any commercial electrical or compliance work.
I had an excellent experience- booked in very last minute and they were able to accommodate me. The pricing was upfront and very reasonable with no hidden costs for extra circuits (as I've experienced before). The certificate was very quickly shared after the job was finished. Highly recommend.
Amazing service! very friendly and helpful!
Excellent service, they are really professional and very polite people. I was impressed.
Really great service from Ali. Great communication, reliable and good valus. Would definitely use him again
He was cautious,polite, professional and was willing to answer all questions
Great experience with Eco Tech. Sashi was very thorough and did a great job, even managed to find a problem I didn't not know about. Took his time and was very polite and professional. Would definitely recommend
We run a very busy commercial laundry with 30–40 staff, and Eco Tech Electrical Contractors have been our trusted electricians for years. Shashi installed two 63A 3‑phase isolators for our new compressors, added extra sockets, upgraded our surge protection and completed all work to a very high commercial standard. Everything was installed on steel cable trays with armoured cable and steel ties, extremely neat and professional. He also advised us on fire safety and the need to review our Fire Risk Assessment as we add new machinery. Highly recommend — reliable, knowledgeable and NICEIC Approved.”
I recently used Shashi from Eco Tech Electrical to carry out the EICR and Gas Safety certificates for my friend’s rental property, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, Shashi was brilliant. He was super responsive and clear with communication, explained everything properly, and answered all my questions (there were quite a few) without ever making me feel rushed. He turned up right on time, worked professionally and efficiently, and even gave helpful feedback on the property along the way. The quality of work is genuinely top-notch - thorough, neat, and done to a high standard. Everything was completed smoothly and the certificates were issued promptly. I would highly recommend Shashi and Eco Tech Electrical to anyone. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future electrical or gas work. Absolute pleasure to deal with!
