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

Electrical- 13 Feb 2022
Billy is an experienced and trustworthy registered electrician. He replaced a fuse box, a few sockets and light switches, installed an extractor fan in the bathroom and checked the entire electrical system. He was very professional, punctual and tidy, and finished his job to a high standard. He was also very approachable and available to resolve other electrical issues I was not aware of. Nothing was to much for him. I would not hesitate to use him again.

Kitchen Fitting- 8 Apr 2022
Spas is a great person to work with. We worked off lists that I made & completed everything well with his business partner in the time we had allowed. They completed a kitchen, a partial rewrire & added a new fuse board to my fathers house. All work was done well & they did a few extra jobs for me while they were there that we negotiated on site. Very straightforward person to work with, honest & works hard. I Will definitely work with Spas again..
