NAPIT and UKAS certified, with over 30 years of experience

It's important that when choosing an electrical contractor, you don't make your decision lightly, or simply take a chance on the first quote you receive. It's imperative that any electrical work is carried out in a safe and high quality manner. Poor workmanship can result in non-compliant installations to fire and electrocution risks, putting you, your family, or your employees and visitors in danger. There are no shortage of electricians offering their services to residential, commercial, and industrial clients. When you know how to identify a qualified and reliable electrician, you can make an informed decision that ensures any electrical work is completed safely, aligning with the highest industry standards, to ensure compliance.

Electrical Certifications

The main factor to consider is the electricians certifications. In the UK, electricians can register with government-approved schemes, but the most recognised is NAPIT and NICEIC. These schemes mean the electrician has proven their qualifications, experience, knowledge, and competence to carry out electrical work to the required standards in a safe way. This means they can certify their own work and then notify the relevant authorities on your behalf, eliminating the need for a separate building control inspection. We recommend checking to ensure any electrician you are thinking of using is certified with one of these schemes.

Experience

Electricians that have been working in the industry for decades have come across a complete range of different electrical situations and challenges. Where a newly qualified electrician may not have encountered a fraction of electrical situations. When you work with an experienced electrician, it ensures a better outcome. Identify how long they have been operating, along with what type of electrical work they provide. Always ensure that they have the knowledge, experience, and expertise to carry out the specific electrical work you require.

Reviews

Reviews are the best way to determine if the electrician you are considering is professional and reliable, offering high quality work. Reputable electricians should be happy to share testimonials from previous clients. These are often displayed on their website, Google, or other review platforms. Look for consistency when it comes to quality of work, communication, punctuality, and tidiness. 

Detailed Quote

We recommend you always get a written quote before letting any electrician start work. Professional electricians provide clear, transparent and itemised quotes that tells you what work will be carried out, along with the costs. There should be no hidden charges.
