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

Came at time and date aranged checked what work had been agreed got on with the work they were both very professional in both workmanship and attitude.

Electrical- 26 Jul 2023
Installation of MyEnegi Zippi EV Charger. Sean provided a great service, from start to finish, he gave me confidence in the initial consultation and had a solid understanding of Zappi EV chargers. He provided all equipment, arranged a time to install, and arrived on time. Very clean installation, hiding all wires and surface mounting the charger on a stone wall. Cleaned the workspace and tested the charger with professional equipment. Great job, highly recommended!
