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- 8 Feb 2023
I phoned on a Saturday evening and Matt said he would come at 10.00 am the next day, Sunday morning. He arrived on time and said he could do the job immediately. He went to Screwfix, obtained the light and fitted it. Efficient, reasonably priced, courteous and, above all willing to help. Also gave me useful advice about future lighting. I would definitely use Matt again.

Electrical- 7 Apr 2017
Our boiler wasn't heating the water supply and having had a boiler engineer around they told us the problem was electrical. We contacted John and he was fantastic, very knowledgeable and he quickly identified and fixed the problem. It was a rare issue, so the speed at which he found and resolved it was very impressive. He also had time to check on an issue with our lights and offered a very reasonable quote. We will be having him back for that job too!

Harry done some electrical work at my home in January and couldn’t be happier with the result. My front room had two hanging lights and was very dull and was the same situation upstairs. Harry rewired downstairs and upstairs lighting and installed new led spotlights totally changed my home.Harry turned up on time both days and by the end of the day you wouldn’t know he was there everything was left clean and tidy. Harry also provided a plasterer to attend and do all my ceilings as it was the old original ceilings and needed to be done. Would highly recommend DAW and will be using them again.
