If I asked you this question what would your answer be please?

[plentyofsunshine]

If I asked you

"Do you have any personal recommendations for an electrician please"

What would your response be?

No. Wish I did. But I know an amazing plasterer and a reliable plumber.

Yes, and here’s his name and number.

Yes, my ds...

Yes, Xxxxxx. They did rewiring at our house and I found them sensible and reliable.

Yes, he's done work for loads of our friends.

Yes, my DS

No, sorry.

@plentyofsunshine please tell us why you’d ask otherwise we wouldn’t recommend your threads any more 😉

Yes.

I'd recommend one of my neighbours who has done lots of work for me on my own house and on btl houses.

Yes here's (close friend) his number

Yes, my brother.

Why are you asking OP, what's the backstory?

Yes, xxxx is really good, here's his number

Yes, I know several, what sort of work do you need doing?
That’s what I’d say.

Yes. But I'm not telling you.

Jk. Here's his name and number.

But if you ask the question on a local Facebook group or similar then you'll get loads of people advertising themselves or their partners in return and less of the actual recommendations which is frustrating.

Given the only possible answers are "yes" or "no", what do you want from this thread?

’Sorry, no.’

Depending on who was asking, I might say ‘Sorry, I don’t, but try asking [a mutual acquaintance who lives in the area], I know they had loads of work done recently’.

Why do you want to know?

Yes I know a good one but he is very busy so not sure if he will fit you in but I can send his details if you like.

If you find one, let me know!

What a strange thread. If I knew one I’d say yes, this guy. If I didn’t I’d say no, sorry.

Well i own an electrical contracting company so I'd ask what they needed doing, we don't really do residential except for family though but i know a lot of trades people

Yes, I’ll send you a link to his facebook.

No, sorry, but there's a couple of guys on the local FB group who seem you get recommended (and not just by their wives!)

Yes, I'll find his number for you.

No, they’re so hard to find
