About · family-run, Shirley

The whole firm, in one photograph.

AD and C Electrical Services Limited is a small family-run business based in Shirley, Solihull, and the electrician is Anthony Dutton. He is the company's sole director at Companies House, he is the name in every review customers have left, and he is the one who picks up the mobile.

That is unusual enough to be worth saying out loud. Most trade websites are careful never to name anybody — “our team of experienced engineers” — because the person quoting isn't the person coming. Here they are the same man, which is why reviewers write things like “I have used this firm on a number of occasions” rather than “they were fine”.

The work splits across commercial and domestic. Commercially that's units, shops and offices — installation, distribution boards, containment, inspection and testing, and emergency lighting installed, tested and repaired. Domestically it's full rewires and part rewires, consumer units and fault finding, lighting and socket replacement, outdoor and security lighting, supplies to garages and outbuildings, and the small jobs that other firms never ring back about.

Seven days a week, too: the phone is on Monday to Friday 8am to 7pm and 8am to 6pm at weekends. It isn't a 24-hour emergency service and there's no point pretending otherwise — but a Saturday is a normal working day here, which for a shop or a landlord is often worth more than a night line.

On credentials, plainly: we're NAPIT approved contractors, we work to BS 7671, and we're a Which? Trusted Trader. Those are our claims about ourselves, so don't take them on trust from a website — ask and current certification and insurance come over before anyone books anything. The one thing you can verify yourself in thirty seconds is the company: AD and C Electrical Services Limited, number 08479644, incorporated 9 April 2013 and still active. Companies House record →

I contacted Anthony early this afternoon and he was extremely accommodating, coming round this evening to see the job. He was able to carry out the work there and then... at a very competitive price with a great guarantee on his parts... I would highly recommend him, he went above and beyond.

I have no hesitation in recommending Anthony. He is professional, diligent and works to the highest standards. Going above and beyond what is asked. Courteous, friendly and trustworthy... I have used this firm on a number of occasions and would certainly use them again. You are in safe hands.

We used AD and C Electrical Services for the first time today. Anthony quoted and completed the electrical work very quickly and to a high standard... There was no mess and everything was left clean and tidy. Would recommend and use again.

We've had few contractors give us a quotation and Anthony stood out as a genuine honest guy... He proved to be super reliable, always on time. We were on a very tight deadline so he worked tirelessly just so to accommodate us and finish the full house before we had to move in. He does what he says he'll do and more.…
