⚡ Who Exactly Is Dave Prout – Plymouth’s Go-To Electrician for the Little Things That Matter?
Let’s be honest — finding a reliable electrician in Plymouth who actually enjoys doing the small jobs isn’t always easy. That’s where I come in.
👋 I’m Dave Prout, a down-to-earth, NICEIC-approved electrician with decades of experience lighting up homes (and saving a few headaches along the way). I might not do full rewires these days, but I’ve carved out a niche focusing on the small electrical jobs that other trades skip — the little bits that actually make your house feel like home.
🔍 A Little Backstory (Short and Sweet)
Once upon a time, I helped run Plymouth Sparky Ltd — a business that earned its stripes and a solid stack of five-star reviews. During that time, I also helped two apprentices train up and pass their AM2 qualifications — a proud moment, and a reminder that good mentorship really does spark great futures. 🔧⚡
These days, I fly solo under the name Dave Prout Electrician Plymouth, offering local, no-fuss electrical help with a smile. Now semi-retired, my workdays are all about helping homeowners across Plymouth get those everyday electrical jobs ticked off — quickly, cleanly, and professionally. No VAT, no stress, just quality service.

🧰 Final Thought
At the end of the day, I’m not here to be a mega contractor or run a big crew. I’m here to be the local, trusted sparky who answers his phone, turns up when he says he will, and leaves your home safer and brighter than when he arrived.
If that sounds like the kind of electrician you need — I’d love to help.
