Mike spent ten years contracting on bigger jobs before starting Simons Electricals out of his Curzon Park kitchen in 2014. Tom joined as an apprentice in 2024 and the two of them now do most of the work between them.

The seven things we do most.
If your job's not on this list, give us a ring — most weeks we end up doing something not on this list anyway.
Electrical safety checks (EICRs)
Independent inspection of your home or rental's wiring, with a clear report and fixed-price remedials if anything needs sorting.
EV charger installation

Fuse box upgrades
Replace an old fuse-wire or split-load consumer unit with a modern, fully-RCBO board that meets the latest regs.
Fault finding & repair
When a circuit keeps tripping, a socket's gone dead, or something's warm to the touch — we'll track it down and sort it.
Full or partial rewires
Older houses with rubber, cloth, or original 1970s wiring — replaced cleanly with modern cable, modern protection, and minimal mess.

What people in Chester say about us
Mike installed our Pod Point and made the whole thing painless. Showed up when he said he would, explained what he was doing, swept up after himself. The cable run into the rendered wall looks neater than I thought possible. Set up the Octopus tariff for me before he left. Highly recommend.
I inherited my parents' house and the fuse box was the original one from when it was built. Mike replaced it in a day with a modern board and explained everything in a way that didn't make me feel daft for asking. He found a wiring problem in the kitchen along the way and sorted it the same day. Lovely chap.
We bought a Victorian terrace in November that needed a full rewire. Got three quotes — Mike's wasn't the cheapest but he was the only one who came to look at the property before quoting, and the only one who wrote down a fixed price rather than a day-rate. He and his team were on it for eleven working days, finished exactly when he said he would, and left the place clean every evening. The certificate paperwork was emailed within 24 hours of the last day. Properly done.
