I was recently asked for a reference by a FM company looking to take me on board.... here is one of them from a man called Chris Berry.
"I run the RTM for Marmaville Court in Mirfield. I do this alongside working full time as a CAD engineer for Bentley Motors.
NE Electrical installed and commissioned the new control and access system to the main, sliding cantilever gate in October 2025. From the very first meeting, Andy displayed an excellent understanding of the practical implementation of effective safety features.
While working on the main gate, he identified the faults with the adjacent pedestrian gate that had left it unsecured for as long as I can remember. We were told this couldn’t be fixed without replacing the main intercom box on the wall. Andy was able to repair this with something he had in his van which immediately restored the locking functionality and entry code release.
He has since been back and repaired further faults as well as fitting a bespoke closer.
Whilst in the middle of doing this job he also found and fixed the intermittent problem that had affected all our lamp posts.
We have 65 apartments on this site, all with intercom handsets and remote opening of gates and stairwell doors. Many of our leaseholders are elderly, some have reduced mobility and are particularly vulnerable. Andy was able to modify the installation in one apartment so that the resident could answer the intercom and operate the remote opening from their landline/housephone rather than having to get up and walk to the hallway to use the wall mounted handset.
As well as being an excellent technical exercise that exceeded the client’s expectation, the work inside the apartment was carried out to a very high standard – a nice, tidy installation in a discreet housing, tucked away in a wardrobe. I think the majority of contractors would have taken the far easier option of just mounting all the works on a wall somewhere that suited them.
Andy has carried out a complete overhaul and refit of our exit gate. Everything from the motors in the ground to the induction loop to the safeties and everything in between, all carried out in three days. Without a before and after picture, you wouldn’t appreciate the difference this work made. A job really well done.
In six months, we’ve gone from 3 unreliable, unsafe, not secure gates and a load of faulty intercoms and access panels to everything working sweet as a nut.
I would have no hesitation in recommending NE Electrical to anyone for any electrical work. Andy’s got extensive technical knowledge, a great attitude, he’s a straight talker, he’s easy to get on with and the job gets done."
