The inspector arrived on time, was polite, and provided useful advice throughout the visit. The report was clear overall, and the service was efficient.

Excellent Service at a very fair price. I required a five year electrical certificate for a small one bed flat in Worthing. My letting agent wanted in excess of £200 and some local electricians quoted £180. These seemed excessive for less than half a days work. I searched on line and found Natiowide Surveyors they quoted £139 all included and I paid them on line in advance, which I felt slightly nervous about ! With her permission I gave them my tenants mobile number and the electrician dealt directly with her to arrange a time convenient to them both. All sorted within ten days and certificate arrived by email. A very good service which gave me no hassle at all. I would use them again without hesitation, but in five yars time I will probably be pushing up daisies.

Genuinely excellent experience with Nationwide from start to finish. A reasonable quote for EICR/Gas safety, remedial works carried out immediately on site to clear the gas safety at a reasonable price. The EICR was carried out by a lovely guy (believe his name was Raj) who was excellent. Latterly the EICR remedial works were organised promptly and carried out to an exemplary standard by Mustafa, who went above and beyond to re-organise my circuitry in a more logical manner without additional charge. Could not recommend this company enough and will return. Ryan

Booked a electrical safety certificate online following a Google search. Had an issue with my card payment going through twice and upon speaking to them on the phone they advised they were already aware of the issue and had put in a refund. I was refunded for the double payment less than 2 hours after the error. They rang me quickly to book in a appointment slot and on the day the engineer arrived within the slot and promptly carried out the works. He explained what this meant and gave pratical advice as to what this looked like. I received the report a few days later which all matched what he had advised on the visit. They gave a requested quote within a few more days which after being checked by other numerous electricans (shopping around for a quote) was advised to be reasonable. Went ahead with the works which again were promptly booked in, they even managed to fit me in the day after booking which was great. Mr Shamael Chaudhry and Dr Rajesh both carried out the works to my property and were courteous and polite and worked tirelessly from around 9am until 5pm to get the job done only stopping for a small sandwich break! They cleaned up after themselves and explained everything they had done and showed me everything before leaving to ensure I was happy and understood what took place. I was a lady alone in the home and they made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I then had a completed and passed electrical certificate a few days later. I really cannot fault the service I have received from on the phone and in person! Would recommend! Thank you

I was astonished as I had tried a number of local firms all of whom replied that could not do it for at least a week. The electrician who came was excellent courteous and just got on with his job and I received the certificate on Monday Morning. I am so impressed with this company and its staff. I will definitely use them again and also tell friends and family about their service levels. Well done Nationwide you far exceeded expectations.
