I recently used Bucks Electrical to replace several lights and install a new feature light in my kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with the service.

From the first contact, Steve was professional, responsive, and easy to deal with. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and he arrived exactly when they said they would. It’s refreshing to find a trades business that is so reliable and respectful of my time.

The quality of workmanship was outstanding. The new kitchen feature light was installed with detail and looks fantastic.

Everything was completed neatly, safely, and to a very high standard, with the work area left clean and tidy afterward.

Their pricing was also fair and represented excellent value for the quality of service provided.

If you’re looking for an electrician who is professional, trustworthy, punctual, and takes genuine pride in their work, I highly recommend Bucks Electrical. I’ll definitely be using them again for any future electrical work.

I can’t recommend Steve from Bucks Electrical (Eastern Suburbs) highly enough. He installed and wired two ceiling fans for me and the whole experience was outstanding from start to finish. His communication was quick, clear and easy, he arrived when he said he would, and he was extremely friendly, professional and trustworthy.

His pricing was very reasonable, and it’s genuinely hard to find a sparky who is not only skilled but also honest and reliable — Steve absolutely is. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home and the quality of his work was excellent.

I really, really liked dealing with him and would insanely highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a great electrician.

I have no idea how, but Steve was able to route a new circuit through the ceiling cavity from one end of a Sydney terrace to the other without any significant reworks inside (just a small inspection hole). Quality stuff, on time, frank and prompt service, and saved me hundreds in not having to replaster the ceiling. Thanks Steve!
