Scott was great, professional and tidy. I'm quite practical but this job needed professional gear. Scott was straight to it and did the job in no time. We had a quick chat and he came up with useful ideas for our plans on re-wiring the property. I'd thoroughly recommend S.M Electrical and Scott! More...

What do you love most about your job?
Being an electrician means solving problems, staying hands-on, and making sure homes and businesses are safe and powered. I love the variety in my work, the satisfaction of fixing things right, and the trust my clients place in me every day. No two jobs are the same — and that’s exactly why I enjoy it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After 18 years in the trade, I wanted to offer something more personal: reliable, high-quality electrical work backed by honesty and pride. Starting my own business gave me the freedom to do the job right, build trust with clients, and stand behind every project 100%.
Why should our clients choose you?
With 18 years of hands-on experience, I bring a level of skill, reliability, and care that clients can count on. I don’t cut corners — I take pride in doing the job right the first time, whether it’s a small repair or a full rewiring project.
What sets me apart is my personal approach. When you hire me, you’re not dealing with a big company that treats you like just another job. You’re working directly with someone who values clear communication, shows up on time, respects your space, and follows through.
I believe in quality workmanship, honest pricing, and building long-term relationships with clients who know they can trust me to look after their home or business.
