Charity events and updates March 24.

On May 12th we are holding our annual charity football match which will be our 9th event spanning 11 years now. Its always been a successful event and we are really excited to host again at Surrey Sports park. This year we are aiming to cross the £15,000 mark since we started fundraising. We will be once again raising funds for Cancer Research UK and St Raphael’s Hospice. All are welcome along as its free to attend, only ask for donations.

This year one of our directors Neil is undertaking a dry 2024. The plan is no consumption of alcohol for 2024 to raise funds for St Raphael’s Hospice. Neil’s dad had a brief stay at St Raphael’s before passing away in February 2020 and we have been raising funds for them ever since. If anyone would like to donate to either cause or be a part of the events then please get in touch. The JustGiving link for St Raphael’s is below and if you would like to find out more or think you can help in any way then please get in touch.

Call out/hourly rate increase (Jan 24)

We have maintained our hourly rates for 2 years to be as fair to customers as possible, however due to the ongoing cost of living situation and material increases which unfortunately haven’t started to fall, we have had to slightly increase our hourly rates. These now will be £80.00 for the first hour and £60.00 for the following hours + VAT. We like to remain as transparent as possible with our pricing, so there are never surprise costs.

We feel these are in line to keep competitive within the market and reflect the service we provide. Quotations can still be carried out to provide an accurate cost for works being carried out.

ST Raphael's JustGiving link

We have created our brand new company St Raphael’s JustGiving link to make donating easier for anyone who may wish to do so.

St Raphael’s carry out incredible care and end of life care for patients and amazing support for their loved ones at such a difficult time. We have been fundraising for St Raphael’s for nearly 4 years after Neil, one of our directors father passed away. He spent nearly 2 weeks there and seeing the care first hand was inspiring. If you would like to donate to a truly deserving cause then follow the link below!

Monthly customer donation update

We are 7 months in to our customer donation initiative and its really working well. Its providing a good relationship with us and our customers and most importantly some wonderful charities are getting donations. In the 7 months so far we have had £20 go to each of these charities:

  • Alzheimer’s Society

  • Macmillan Cancer Support

  • Great Ormond Street Hospital

  • Fauna & Flora

  • CentrePoint UK

  • Ronald Mcdonald House Charities

  • Rainbow Trust

Elderly and vulnerable discount

Over the winter period we are offering discounted call outs for elderly and more vulnerable people for both electrical issues but also more minor jobs that people might be struggling with or finding it difficult to find someone. We are hoping it will provide some peace of mind and relief during a financially uncertain time.

If you have an elderly relative or someone who lives on their own then feel free to pass on our details for friendly, approachable engineers who will be able to help.

On the Tools award nomination

What a fortnight we have had. After the lovely news we had about winning the national award for ‘The extra mile awards’, We also found out we were a finalist in the ‘On the tools awards’ for ‘Electrician of the year’. the awards evening is in Birmingham on the 9th of November so we are really looking forward to that.

The nominations and awards are all based on our charity work, fundraising and approach to our work. We have always run our company with the view that the customer, any customer, should be able to contact a trade, get a response with honest information, then have that followed up with a job where not only is the job well done, but the customer feels comfortable having you around and would definitely have you back. This is how we approach all our work, and we will maintain this approach to the best of our ability, for the long term. We believe having a trade in shouldn’t be a bad experience, it should be easy and leave you with a positive outcome and experience.
