Just had to have our whole apartment rewired. The electrician (young) asked for a broom. I thought that was strange, but they seriously cleaned up every single mess, swept the floors and wiped down the surfaces! Even washed out the sink in the bathroom! I was blown away!! I'd recommend them to anyone on that alone!

As the wife of an industrial/mining electrician I can add finding sets of earplugs in the washing machine, sitting through endless stories of how to wire some incredibly complicated machine I will never see and getting an extra power point wired in my bedroom... as a birthday present.... 4 years after I first asked for it. (and yes he left the mess for me to clean up). P.S. on mine sites sparkies don't like mechanics/fitters/operators/boilermakers/engineers/anyone who isn't a sparky.

@@wossle73 A string line or chalk line comes in very handy for getting down lights in a straight line which is a talent that some electricians seem to lack. A level comes in handy when installing conduit in a location that is clearly visible. Conduit installed at anything other than vertical or horizontal is a real distraction to the eye. Plumbers are also often equally guilty when installing water services.
