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

We had a full rewire of our new home, a 3 bedroom cottage style property in Cornwall. Ashley was very friendly and professional. He came in on budget with no hidden extras. The price he quoted is was we were charged which was very reasonable. Ashley started and finished when he said he would. Left the property spotless and took any rubbish away. We can’t praise Ashley enough and wholeheartedly would recommend him for any electrical work.

Joel has been professional and meticulous in his approach to the various electrical issues we asked him to deal with. He managed to resolve a hitherto intractable issue to which there was no obvious solution. We feel fortunate to have found Joel, he is the best electrician we have come across and would highly recommend him to anyone. We have now asked him to undertake the next stage of our electrical work.
