Electricians David McGuigan and Stuart Clark are switched-on guys – now in their seventh year of business, with a very good reputation building up.
Combining professionalism with friendliness, they brim with enthusiasm as they explain how they aim to do a high quality job at a competitive price in as efficient a timescale as possible. Take the machine held by Stuart, a wall chaser which cuts channels for electrical tubing. “It avoids unnecessary damage to plasterwork,” says Stuart. “It makes the job a lot cleaner and speedier and things are easier for the plasterer afterwards.”
On their approach to the small jobs often shunned by tradesmen, such as new sockets or light fittings: “We plan a day around doing small jobs so if we’re doing, say, six in a day, it’s a cost-effective day. Or we’ll do a small job at the end of a day.”
David, 38, who has grown up in Penwortham, and Stuart, 39, bring 40 years’ combined experience in the trade and are long-time friends. Having worked for well-known building firms, both ended up at Lantei Compliance Services Ltd, which specialises in electrical testing and related remedial work. “We got to a point where we said ‘let’s do this ourselves’,” said David. “Slowly and steadily C&M Electrical have accrued multiple customers through hard work and dedication leading us to develop a small team of electricians.”
They joined checkatrade.com over 2 years ago and have over 230 positive genuine consumer reviews. Work includes ‘lived-in rewires’ done in one day with minimum mess, where they use a team of electricians and organise a plasterer to tidy up afterwards. They provide quotes within 24 hours. “Everyone says how fast we get back to people,” adds David.
Clients include Roberts & Co Estate Agents, Dewhurst Builders, Horsfield Building Services and CBIS Contracts. They cover all aspects of domestic, industrial and commercial work and are qualified EV installers for electric car charging points.
