I am delighted to recommend MS Electrical Services and Mark Smith in particular for delivering a first-class service for us here at Footprint Signs and Graphics. PAT testing throughout our building with usual IT equipment and numerous small electrical tools carried out with no fuss and minimal disruption. The testing of our main supply and confirming that we are all safe and compliant was great news for us with print machines running all our vinyl work throughout the day. Mark was prompt, efficient and informative in carrying out the work, so if you need to get your testing done give him a call.
