Working Live Policy
Highly recommend!
Josh and his team are reliable, fairly priced, trustworthy and most of all - just honest people, which unfortunately is so rare to find on the market these days. This is something that is super important to me for electrical work as incorrect processes and procedures can have detrimental consequence and I trust Grove Spark to do everything properly and by code. You can put your mind at ease when working with Grove Spark!
Special out to Josh, lovely dude and really took his time to explain to me all the options I had, based on my needs/wants at the time. You can tell genuinely cares about running a good business that looks after their customers.
