Written by the company

Caradok was established by a team of electrical designers and engineers with a shared passion; to make stunningly crafted architectural electrical products that are design classics. We look to create detailing to overlooked parts of your home. We have over 40 years’ experience in the electrical industry, we design and develop switches, sockets, indoor and outdoor lighting and other hardware that is understated but above all, built to last.

By contrast, we focus on classic designs that work both in a modern new build or in a listed period property. Our focus is entirely on building durable, classic products that are highly tactile. The weight and finish of each item we produce is checked and quality controlled, even down to the resonance each click of a toggle or switch makes.

Item not received & impossible to contact co

Placed an order on 3 April & have received no update. Have chased via their email, the website chat (that is not responsive), their phone number, which diverts to a mobile number which goes to voicemail where the mailbox is full. No response at all which is shocking, I have no confidence in ever receiving the order which thankfully is only minimal value. Like others I wish I'd read these reviews before ordering.

Ordered goods on 1st March and my emails not answered. Several phone calls when I’ve been told goods just going through QC telephoned yesterday told goods would be dispatched for delivery today and I’ve had nothing. Lack of communication is appalling and no apology for lateness.
Steer clear wish I had read these reviews before ordering

New fluorescent bulbs for bathroom mirror

Great service, and very responsive in dealing with an issue before dispatch. The bulbs were well packaged and exactly as required. The only downside is that I can now see my face clearly in the mirror.

Absolutely delighted

Struggling to find the right bulb for our antique lamp but was delighted to find the bulb on the Caradok website.
The ordering was easy and very straightforward, and the price was such a pleasant surprise that we bought ten!
Delivered with plenty of wrapping so no broken bulbs.
Absolutely delighted.

I received my order in good time.


received my order in good time.
Since writing this review I have more to add, I have now tried all 3 light bulbs and each one blew as soon as connected. The 1st one tripped my electrics, I tried one in my up-lighter lamp and it blew and also blew the fuse in the plug so all 3 were useless. I wish I'd read the reviews of this company before I'd ordered. I would now like a complete refund so am awaiting a reply to this review. Look forward to hearing from you.

Ordered two cooker hood bulbs from Caradok. I didn't get any email receipt from them and read some of the online reviews and was a bit dubious as to whether they would arrive. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly they arrived and nicely packaged. I would definitely use you again. Thanks.

They didn't send my order.

I bought an extension lead from the company and they didn't sent it. I tried to contact them three times, they responded after a second email and told me that it would be send in a few days. After past that time I tried to contact them again and they didn't even respond my email.

Excellent responsible, careful and informed service

Excellent responsible, careful and informed service. I needed an unusual brand of bulb that is hard to obtain, but I was not able to identify the make or size of the sample I have in my possession. A representative I spoke with on the phone managed to confirm the identity after careful research - and he sent me several replacements most efficiently. Very professional and reliable all round.
