About us
Three qualified electricians and an apprentice, working out of a small workshop on Haydn Road. Everyone who comes to your door works for us.
Gareth Lowe
Started the business in 2009 after twelve years with a Nottingham contractor. Still prices most jobs himself.
Tom Ashworth
Leads our rewires and lighting jobs. Known for leaving a room cleaner than he found it.
Ama Asante
Does most of our safety reports for landlords and letting agents. Quick, thorough and clear.
Jamie Whitlock
Third-year apprentice. Works alongside Tom and Ama and is never short of a question.
How we started
Gareth Lowe spent twelve years wiring offices and schools for a Nottingham contractor. In 2009 he bought a van, set up Lowe Electrical and started doing the jobs nobody else wanted to quote for: old terraces, tricky lofts, landlords with twenty flats.
Tom joined as an apprentice in 2012 and now runs most of our rewires. Ama came from a commercial firm in 2020. Jamie is the next one we’re training.
Most of our work comes from people we’ve worked for before, and from the people they tell.

- TidyDust sheets and shoe covers on, and we hoover up before we go.
What customers say
They rewired our Victorian terrace while we lived in it. Power back on every night, dust sheets everywhere, and the final bill matched the quote to the pound.
Helen R. I have eleven flats around Lenton. Ama does all the EICRs, sends the reports the next morning and books the tenants in herself. One less thing to chase.
Martin K. Gareth came out, looked at our fuse box and told us we didn't need the upgrade another company had quoted for. Charger was fitted the following Tuesday.
Priya and Dev S. New lighting for the café, done over two Sunday nights so we never closed. Our electricity bill dropped noticeably the first quarter.
