What Our Clients Say

“Wakefield Electrical have been a fantastic team to work with. They come when they say they will and do their work to a high standard. They work with the client’s requests to create the best outcome for them. I can always count on Wakefield Electrical to perform well and achieve the high standards that our building company requires.”

Benjamin CuttanceOwner, Building Environmental Needs

“We have engaged Wakefield Electrical for numerous projects on our own home. From house alterations, general maintenance and exterior lighting. On one occasion, we required a prompt response due to a power outage to a section of the property, due to Peter’s company structure Wakefield Electrical was able to attend to our needs in a most efficient manner. We have always found Peter and his staff to be punctual and respectful of our private spaces. I have been associated with the construction industry for 33 years, all of those years I have had a close association with industry sub trades and I can honestly say I write very few testimonials in favour of sub trades. In this instance though, I am pleased to be asked and pleased to recommend Wakefield Electrical.”

Justin BusbridgeChartered Building Professional, Halswell

“We have used Wakefield Electrical for a couple of years. They turn up on time and do a great job. Attention to detail is excellent, and they got stuck in and fixed up issues left behind from other sparkies. Highly recommend.”

Mel BourkeResident, West Melton
