It Started With a Van
and a Simple Idea

Dave started Datel with a van, a toolbox, and one simple idea: do good work and treat people properly. Over 26 years later, that idea still drives everything we do.

From day one, the focus was never just on the electrical work. It was on communication, reliability, and building a team that people across South Devon could genuinely trust.

Today we work across homes, rental properties, holiday lets, schools and businesses throughout Newton Abbot, Torbay and the wider South Devon area.

"What I am most proud of is not the number of jobs we have completed. It is the team we have built around us."

Datel recently supplied and fitted an electric shower in our main bathroom. The service we received was 5 star. All the workers who attended throughout were courteous, professional and respected our property at all times. Shoes were removed and dust sheets put down. Explained / showed us what we needed to know . Can’t fault them. Not the cheapest company but I would use again without hesitation. Highly recommend this company

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very beginning of the process, Datel Electrical were exceptionally helpful. They took the time to explain what needed to be done in my new rental property in a way that was easy to understand, which I really appreciated. The team stayed late to ensure all the work was completed to a high standard, and they were professional, helpful, and respectful throughout. They also made sure everything was cleaned and tidied up after the job was finished. Communication between the technician, the administration team, and myself was excellent from start to finish—clear, prompt, and professional at all times. Thank you to everyone at Datel Electrical for a superb 5-star service. I would highly recommend them. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Datel ran in a 20A supply for a large appliance in our home. The work was carried out very efficiently & the cabling installed using the most unobtrusive route. We would definitely recommend Datel.
