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

Kitchen Fitting- 16 Jul 2019
Adam and his team rebuilt our kitchen after we experienced major flood damage. He did an absolutely brilliant job, finding and resolving the underlying issues that caused the damage as well as designing and building our new kitchen, and relaying the floor. Adam is a very quick and accurate worker, completing all aspects of the job to the highest standard. He sourced all the materials managing to match our cabinets and flooring perfectly. Adam is also a very clean and conscientious worker and we found that all our floors, walls and furniture were well protected throughout the job (we had just had new carpet laid) with the area cleaned spotlessly on completion of the job. We were kept up to date with daily updates and photos and the work was all completed as promised, to the agreed plan and quote and we are absolutely delighted with the result. I would highly recommend Adam for anyone needing a builder especially for kitchen fitouts.

Rik installed my spot lights to lounge and on viewing the work to be undertaken, suggested the renewal of my very old fuse box. The quote was itemised for both jobs and was for myself to instruct work to be completed. The work was completed in one day. The rooms were all left as received. I would recommend that Rik supplies the materials/lights where possible to have that quality product. Very pleased with the work in my home, price was reasonable and would recommend to family/friends. Thank you.

Sarb was very flexible when arranging time and date to complete the repair. He had excellent communication via telephone and email- that was clear when discussing job requirement, and when quoting for the work. This continued throughout the repair. Sarb was very tidy and respectful when on site working. His quote was a third of other quotes, He was helpful in sourcing new light switch before arrival and he even fitted a new outside light that was not included in his original quote. I will definately use him again and recommend to others
