How can I check the standards of an electrician’s work?

To check the standards and quality of an electrician's work, you can look for reviews and testimonials, ask for examples of previous work or check if they are registered with a reputable body, like NICEIC. You can also check if they offer a guarantee for their work, read customer reviews, and view photos of past projects on MyBuilder.

What should I expect from an electrician?

An electrician should be **licensed and certified, punctual and provide a clear estimate** before starting the job. They should ensure the work meets safety standards and offer a guarantee on their services.

Are electricians required to have insurance?

Yes, electricians are generally required to have **public liability insurance** to protect against accidents or damage during the job. It's always a good idea to ask to see proof of insurance before hiring.

Do electricians charge a call-out fee?

Many electricians charge a **call-out fee** for visiting your property, especially if the job is small or outside of regular hours. It's advisable to confirm the fee in advance to avoid any surprises.

How long does an electrical job take?

The time required depends on the size and complexity of the work. Here’s a general guide: - **Small tasks** (e.g. replacing sockets or light fittings): usually **under an hour** - **Medium jobs** (e.g. installing new lighting circuits or upgrading a fuse box): around **half a day to a full day** - **Large projects** (e.g. full house rewiring or new installations): can take **several days to a few weeks**, depending on the property

When it comes to electrical work, cutting corners might cost you more than just hard cash. For many years I’ve used Stephen for a range of electric work that I can’t do myself, including ceiling lights and sockets in our refurbished kitchen, and a new external 32amp feed for our hot tub. His prices are great value – not cheap, because you really don’t want cheap – and his attention to detail and the care of our property are both first class. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Stephen for all domestic electrical work.

All round excellent service from Graham who fitted a beautiful bathroom extractor fan (sited through the ceiling into the loft) on a timer and separate light switch as per my wishes. Great value, knowledgable, polite and cleaned up. Graham lives in the village and is coming back as soon as possible to do some carpentry and further electrical work. He's a busy man. Thank you.
