Excellent and Professional Service
Sam and apprentice Asher were both professional and efficient when they came to survey and then commence work on the electrics in my house. There were several problems which they detected and then rectified, all within a few weeks timescale. They are local to me and their rates are very keenly priced. I would most certainly use them again and highly recommend them.

Used Factotum a few times now
Used Factotum a few times now. Sam is thoroughly professional and reliable. He has in depth knowledge of any issues and installations. His work is always impeccably carried out and tidy. Would never over charge for a job and is realistic with what's possible.
I have no hesitation in recommending 100 percent. If all tradespeople were like Sam, the world would be a better place!
