Kev is very reliable and responsive which we really appreciate as inevitably things develop once a job starts, especially on an old house, and so it was great that he was always available and kept us updated. Very professional. (Reviewed May 2023)

We used Rainbow to fix some house structural problems - cracked walls and roof problems, replacing rotten woodwork and to give the exterior a much needed smartening up. Very glad to have found them; professional work, great service and communication, highly recommended! (Reviewed May 2023)

Rainbow Building Plumbing & Electrical Services recently moved a kitchen and a boiler to new rooms within the house for us. The work required involved kitchen fitting, plastering, carpentry, flooring, electrical work, plumbing, and fixing a balcony leak. We were more than satisfied with all the work they did. Kev and his team were very professional, efficient, and worked really hard to complete everything within the proposed timeframe.
Overall, I found Rainbow Building Services to be very reliable and professional and would highly recommend Kev's team to anyone who needs any work done on their home. (Reviewed May 2023)

I am very pleased with the work to remove a chimney breast in a 1st floor room. Mark worked hard, always cleared up at the end of the day and was very courteous and pleasant to have in the house.

Kev and his team did a fantastic job of gutting and refitting my bathroom, including a floor and wall replacement, within the timeframe promised and at the quoted cost. They also replaced missing skirting, an airbrick and window lock at a fair price. All of the team were professional, friendly, respectful, tidy and very good at their trades. They were speedy and hard-working and left no mess. I am very pleased with the results! Kev was in communication throughout and when things went wrong with a delivery, he acted immediately and problem solved. 10/10, thanks! (Reviewed December 2022)

We recently used Rainbow Building on a project to refurbish our kitchen and install new, wider patio doors.
Kev has long experience in the industry, and has great attention to detail. He was able to anticipate and plan for any potential issues that we might encounter, and offer alternative approaches. We had the new kitchen design from Howdens, and Kev organised all the tradesmen (builders, door fitters, plumbers, kitchen fitters). All of his tradesmen were great - they clearly knew what they were doing, took pride in their work, and were always polite.
Overall the project came in on time and on budget. The new kitchen and doors look great, and we are really happy with how it has all turned out

Kev and the Rainbow team did a great job on the renovation and refurbishment of the house which included a new kitchen and bathroom as well as a number of ad hoc jobs.There were a number of problems that became apparent once the old fixtures were removed, however Kev came up with solutions for these issues and kept the project moving along in a timely manner.

We used rainbow building services for a full house renovation. This was a very large job and also required a full electronic rewire/plumbing & boiler installation. The work was completed in a timely manner with attention to detail, there were some extra bits that needed doing due to the age of the house. Kevin was very informative and clear regarding how to proceed and expected costs of the additional work. Overall I am very happy with the finished project. The plastering, painting and decorating has been done to a good standard. Would recommened. (Reviewed April 2022)

Kev and his team were great. The work was completed on time and done very carefully throughout - we're very glad we chose Rainbow and will definitely be going back for round two in coming months. We had plastering in every room, cabinets removed, sinks removed, the porch damp-proofed and plastered, wallpaper stripped, plus a few extra odds and ends. Kev was also really helpful regarding the budget - advising on what would be best to fix now and what to perhaps come back to. It all worked out great. Very professional and not overpriced! Thanks again, Kev. (Reviewed April 2022)

Kev and his team were hardworking, courteous and did a great job. Contact was kept throughout via calls and texts. When a question came up about structural calculations, Kev called our structural engineer (the one who provided the plan and specs) and got it sorted out before requiring me to do anything. I was very pleased that quote, which was obviously an "estimate", was kept to and the price and work were exactly as we had hoped for when taking Rainbow on. Thank you Kev and the rest of the Rainbow team. (Reviewed September 2019)

Rainbow services were very good at all stages of the works - from the initial discussions to the completion.

The works were undertaken in a building which was still accessible to the public and Rainbow services were very good at working with these issues. (Reviewed September 2017)

Kev Viney, owner of this company has twice asked for feedback from me, so here goes!
My RCD was tripping intermittently over a period of 3 to 4 days (15yr old house) and needed investigating.
Additional work requested by me :
Disconnect and remove old internal alarm panel (have now gone wireless).
Disconnect external bank of lights from main circuit.
Additional works carried out by electrician :
Re connect earth wire below sink.
Switch over x1 20 amp with x1 32 amp on main switchboard.
Advise? Don't use washing machine/dish washer/shower and boiler at the same time.
Have a comprehensive electrics test carried out on the entire property.
Replace the fuse board for a metal one, it's the law!
Later that afternoon the RCD tripped again, no appliances in use. Hasn't tripped since?
Payment Options :
£150 cash now, or wait for VAT bill.
Bill arrives, £200 plus £40 vat, total £240.
As I explained to Kev Viney, owner of Rainbow Building & Electrical Services, I may well be out of touch with electrician's charges, but £200 for less than an hours attendance (no new parts used) is hugely extortionate. He has declined to comment?
Note to self :
Avoid Rainbow Building & Electrical Services for ALL future works.
Always get a minimum of x3 quotes.
Share what you know!
Hope this feedback helps others.

Response from Rainbow Building & Electrical Services:
These are unreasonable comments. Rainbow diagnosed and fixed the RCD tripping in the fuse box the same day. This was caused by the owner employing a previous Electrician, who had created this fault on the power circuit. The property had never been tested since 2002 and we recommended, the new regulation law as of April 2017, that all plastic fuse boxes should be removed and replaced with metal when testing and inspecting circuits and providing periodic test/electrical certificates. We were asked to attend the original fault and then asked to carry out several other electrical works. The client only complained about the fee after he had paid the posted invoiced bill and once the work was completed successfully. He apparently emailed Rainbow to say he was not happy with the price. The email was never received. Subsequently, he went straight to Checkatrade. It was at this time that I was made aware of his dissatisfaction over the price, but not the workmanship. Rainbow requested an immediate site meeting to resolve the financial grievance. The client declined. Rainbow has refunded £150 (£200 plus VAT

A great experience with a well-managed, highly-skilled team. Our old kitchen was in a terrible state and needed considerable work to bring it up to scratch - Kev and his team did a fantastic job and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. Communication was excellent throughout, and the team really went the extra mile to get the job finished within our timeframe. Reliable, tidy, and always making sure that I was happy with the work that was being done. A huge thank you to everyone involved! Highly recommended! (Reviewed October 2016)
