MJP ELECTRICAL Bewertungen 

This company is an absolute joke. Tried tricking into a super fast quote (JUST QUOTE) at £60 upfront. After 2 weeks I eventually got the fee quote that is almost double of what has been quoted by other companies. PEOPLE ABOID THEM, this company is a rip off £1400 for 5 sockets and a cooker wiring. They didn’t even need to chase down any cables as we said trunking would be acceptable.
I am in Complete disbelief

I got a quote from MJP for a list of jobs to complete for almost 900 GBP. On the very day when the engineer was coming, we started the day with this email:

“Unfortunately there has been a mistake on your original quote - the price was only for 1 downlight rather than 14. I have now revised this. Please accept our apologies here! Please find attached confirmation of our charges, which are £1120.98 including VAT.”

220 GBP increase out of the blue on the very day? They claimed that the quoted price included 1 spotlight by mistake, not 14 that I needed. Again, this may or may not be true (the quote had no itemisation, only listing the jobs and quoting a single price, i.e. they don’t give visibility on the details), but also irrelevant as the quote was for a price and a list of items, that’s what we agreed on. Yet, I reluctantly agreed to pay £999.18.

Then the engineer came around to do the work, but also mentioned part of the agreed jobs would not be actually done (estimated around 150-200 GBP of the 900 GBP).

Thereafter they gave me a “discount” saying “To resolve, as the fans have not been fit, we would like to propose a reduction in this quote by £132.00”. This “discount” is from the increased quote, so overall I needed to pay them £867.18 (almost what the original quote was for), yet they have never completed minimum 150 GBP worth of the work.

It is absolutely irrelevant that they claim to have errors left and right. In fact, they were unable to issue a single quote or invoice correctly. They even issued an invoice with the “work completed” indicated the items they didn’t complete and about which we were arguing the whole day.

Utterly unprofessional company that is changing the quote price and the scope of the work arbitrarily. I accepted a certain price, for a certain list of jobs to do, end of story. I notified Trading Standards as well… not likely anything will come of it to be honest.

UPDATE: for all fairness, they did reach out to try to rectify the situation… install the fans they haven’t done, for an additional 132 GBP bringing the total back to GBP 999.18. I eventually refused, as I no longer have confidence in that the below “solution” would result in a decent outcome, and not a ruined ceiling for me to also fix:

“This is a quotation to fit standard 4inch fans as the fans currently in use are
difficult to obtain - in order to get the fan to fit a sheet of plasterboard will
need to be cut around the fan and filling and sanding will be required”

Paid a large sum for a call out (fair enough it was a Sunday). After 2 tries problem still there - was then quoted another £350 for them to have another go. Problem sorted in less than an hour by another electrician.

Liam from MJP was very helpful and came really quick to replace our shower after having no shower for 3 days as been let down multiple times would definitely recommend and use again

A pendant light they were supposed to have fixed as part of bringing a property up to EICR standard was not (according to my tenant) fixed when they came out. I reported this to them on the basis it must have been overlooked. They refused to come back to fix it properly implying the tenant had broken it. They made a temporary repair when they came out to quote me for smoke alarms they had told me were out of date, but which weren’t. The tenant has contacted me to say the same issue with the lamp has happened again. I think it is safe to say, on the balance of probabilities, it was never fixed it in the first place.
See my previous review on these scammers. I have reported them to Trading Standards. You should too if you’ve had the bad service I have.
Terrible. Goodness knows how many satisfied customers have, in reality, paid for unnecessary work.

MJP seemed like a good choice at first. Boy was I wrong. The EICR recommended a lot of work that was not necessary on the previous EICR - I ran with it. Things started to go awry the moment I asked for before and after pictures - which were not forthcoming without quite some chasing. Next, they went ahead with work without getting clearance and tried to add a further £200. Then I asked them to fix work they had missed (some exposed wiring) they tried to say it had been done already. Despite numerous chasing emails they never fixed it. They were asked to supply a quote for two supposedly out of date smoke alarms but then added in a heat sensor without being asked. I asked for them to split out the quote, they prevaricated. They told me it was a legal requirement to have a heat sensor - it isn't. When I queried this they refused to enter into further correspondence. They'll seem like a pukka outfit but will try to scam you in to paying for work that is not required by misrepresenting the law to you.

EDIT the tenant has just sent me photos of the two smoke alarms. Both are in date. Neither required replacing.

The appointment was fixed up for the next day, the electrician turned up on time and was able to fix a 2 way light switch that other electricians had said was unfixable. The invoice arrived same day so not left hanging to find out the charges, and were just a little higher than the quote, which made sense in terms of a replacement switch supplied. Will definitely use them again.

Excellent company. I have used them both personally and professionally and they are always professional, prompt, explain everything they are doing and trustworthy. Joe, John, Connor and the others on this job were brilliant and I would really recommend for any future jobs.

I needed a new shower fitting. MJP quoted promptly, were cheaper than the other quote I got, & the fitting was quick & efficient.
I'm very happy to recommend them

Very professional and courteous. Very efficient and helpful; got the job done. We highly recommend MJP electrical and would certainly use their services again. It is nice to be able to find a business that you feel you can trust.

Used MJP twice, first for replacing our board and the second for a variety of bits (light replacements, minor safety alterations etc).
Both times they were prompt, good service, prices were fine (had a mate review them). Quality of the work is great, I can happily recommend them.

They don't offer free quotes, despite what they tell you. If you call in they say submit the free quote request and you'll have one in two weeks. Or pay £66 to get a quote right away, the cost will come off the bill. Well 4 weeks after submitting the form for the free quote we had no response, when I called to follow up they said if we needed a quote soon we should go for the £66 option. We did and had an electrician there that day. We told the electrician what needed doing and then added we'd be interested in knowing how much 4 light fitting changes would be, but this isn't an urgent task. The quote we get has no breakdown of costs, and when I ask for one I'm told they are like a restaurant and offer a service and are unable to breakdown the cost. Well no restaurant I've been to doesn't list the price of their menu per item - so that analogy made zero sense. When I mentioned that we told the electrician we just wanted to know how much the light fittings would cost, then the quick responses turned to radio silence. 3.5 weeks went by with no response and so we were forced to decide to either go forward with a quote for items we don't necessarily need or lose £66.

EDIT AFTER THEIR RESPONSE: I'm not sure why the response keeps mentioning that I didn't raise my concerns with them directly, as they also admit to having spoken to me on the phone about my concerns.

I commissioned Mark to carry out a EICR examination of a 2 X bed rental property for £240. Particularly impressed by communication and actually turning up when he said. Property tested and now the sting. A traditional plastic consumer unit was labelled a C2 ( potentially dangerous)
A guide by Electrical Safety First clearly shows this as something that should be "NOTED" & NOT labelled as either a C2 OR C3.
The estimate to replace together with MINOR other works was £ 1358.72. DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS.
As an ex NICEIC Electrian I know what mine are.

UPDATE !!!!

Employed another approved contractor for £140. Labelled consumer unit as a C3 ( advisory ) Still wrong but a lot cheaper than Mark's outrageous estimate.

BEWARE BEWARE !!!!!!

Carried out a few jobs in our home efficiently and effectively, would not hesitate to use them again. Great, friendly service at excellent prices so would highly recommend. Also came out in short notice and didn't let us down, couldn't be happier.
