"We believe that all jobs are important, so, a failed light is just as important to an old lady as a re-wire of an outbuilding is to a builder."

All jobs must carry the same high standard irrespective of its surroundings. I ensure the work is completed correctly and that it is thoroughly checked before I put my name and certificate on the consumer unit.

I give honest advice; care what the customer thinks, and endeavour to ensure the customer ends up with what they want and not what the electrical contractor wants.

The business was founded in 1981 having gained experience and expertise for 18 years. After serving an apprenticeship in research I became an electrical engineer officer in the merchant navy. I went on to work for LUCAS C.A.V. as an electrician on automatic machine tools and factory maintenance for 6 years and progressed to foreman for 2 years. Like many people I decided it was time I went alone and set up my own business, 'P.A.Cheney'.

As a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. (The National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) I have annual inspections on installations and receive spot-checks on the work that I do. Customers can use this independent watchdog of the industry to confirm our installations are spot on. I hold full insurance and have up to date knowledge of current regulations. I am qualified for self-assessment with UKAS Certification and a member of the Institute of Incorporated Engineers (A.I.I.E.). Even if you require tests and inspection work on garages, I am qualified as 'Competent Electrical Contractor and Petrol Filling Stations' with the Petroleum Training Federation (PTF) certificate.
