BORDEN ELECTRICS
TESTIMONIALS
We help people see the light by plugging into their lives and sparking off them. Here are some of our domestic and commercial customers who featured in my last 60 Grapevine Magazine columns from 2007 and 2013. Every job we work on presents new challenges, from re-wiring Victorian homes through to the maintenance of powerful cooking devices in Endcliffe Park Cafe, where we averted an imminent chip-butty famine last summer. If lights in your home or business premises are on the blink, ring Borden's. We'll surge to the rescue.

"We’ve always found Borden’s to be reliable,
efficient, and a nice firm to deal with. They rewired
our bakery in only a week, which meant we could
get on with producing bread, knowing our power
supply was secure."

"I moved into my home ten years ago, and for a
long time had been aware that the property’s
electrical wiring needed attention. I called Borden’s
in prior to having renovations done.
“I’m very happy with the work Borden’s did.
Updating the wiring has given me peace of mind"

"I called Dave Borden because he worked on my
parents’ home years ago, and they told me that he
did a first class job - so I had no hesitation in asking
him to carry out a rewire on the property I’d bought.
He and his men were very accommodating, and
worked to a very tight schedule.”"

"I needed a capable firm, because mine was a complicated job - moving the fusebox inside, from the garage. I was fed up of going down garden steps each time a fuse tripped. “I had faith in Borden’s because I’d often read about them in Grapevine, and they did not let me down."

John and Rosie Grant, of Endcliffe
"We knew rewiring our house would be a challenge,
as a number of electricians had balked at the job in the past. Borden’s gave us a lot of confidence, and we felt they would solve all the problems, as they proved when sorting out the kitchen wiring. They were very good, and kept our house clean and tidy. We were very pleased with them."

"The work was far more involved than we had anticipated due to the presence of asbestos, but once Dave Borden alerted us to this, we trusted his team to remove it safely, to eliminate any potential danger to our staff and service users."

Barbara Gowing-Scopes, of Ecclesall
"When burglars broke into the shed we thought it would be a good idea to have an alarm fitted. We chose Borden’s to dothe work because they are local, and we had heard from friends of their good reputation. The electricians who did the work were very tidy. Each night they vacuumed everything
before they left. Everything went very smoothly."

"After the inspection of the house, Borden’s found
that the fusebox was overloaded. A minor upgrade
was necessary. They replaced the shower cabling and the fusebox, earthed light fittings, and installed an RCD. They did a great job, and I now know that all my electrical wiring is safe. There wasn’t much
disruption, and I’ve not had to redecorate."

have around."

"I was really impressed with the service. The guys worked incredibly hard. They were always here at 8am prompt, and were really friendly, professional and polite. In fact, it was a shame to see them go because they were great to have around the house."

"Borden’s were recommended to us. We asked them to do our work because they are local, and a reputable, NICEIC-qualified firm. The electricians were excellent; very accomodating. They did not disrupt our production schedule while the re-wiring was being carried out."

Mark Spolding, of George Ibberson Ltd
"Borden’s helped make our factory move very straightforward. We did call a number of other electrical firms, but used Borden’s because they investigated exactly what electrical work we needed. This attention to detail gave us confidence there would not be unforeseen hold-ups."
