About Bastian Electrical
James Jacobs trading as Bastian Electrical—an insured sole-trader contractor with 11 years of experience across domestic, commercial and industrial electrical work.
The business
Professional electrical work with one accountable point of contact.
Bastian Electrical is run by James Jacobs. The business is positioned between a casual one-man service and a large contractor: personal enough for direct communication, but experienced across domestic, commercial and industrial environments.
The current focus is smaller jobs and carefully scoped projects. That includes fault finding, testing, landlord work, consumer units, domestic rewires, shop and office alterations, maintenance and suitable light industrial work.
Project limits are discussed honestly. Work that needs a substantial multi-person team, specialist design or manufacturer expertise is not accepted on unrealistic promises.
Trust is earned through clear communication, careful workmanship and evidence that customers can verify. Qualifications, insurance details, documentation and project requirements can be discussed before work is agreed.
