This experience comes in handy to identify, locate and rectify the fault safely and quickly. Presentation is very important to me. Not just for social media pictures, but making sure its safe, compliant with BS7671 and also future proof work, so that it can last as long as it physically can. Electrical systems in your house can be fatal if the wrong person touches them. I make sure that everything is correctly terminated, torqued and selected to provide confidence for my clients. At the moment I am a soletrader; however my vision and goal is to create my own electrical company within the next few years.

What qualifications should I look for when hiring electricians near me?

When hiring an electrician in your area, it’s important to ensure they’re fully qualified, insured, and registered with an approved trade body. Fortunately, there are several credentials and qualifications to demonstrate that electricians meet UK safety and quality standards, and ensure your electrical work is carried out safely and legally.

Look for these qualifications, memberships, and credentials when choosing a local electrician:

  • Competent Person Scheme Membership (e.g. NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA): Confirms that the electrician’s work meets building regulations and can be self-certified.
  • NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation: Confirms the electrician’s technical competence in electrical installation and maintenance.
  • City & Guilds 2382-22 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations): Ensures they follow the latest safety and wiring standards (BS 7671).

Questions to ask electricians near you before hiring

Before hiring a local electrician, you want to be sure you understand their approach and what’s included in their service. This helps you avoid unexpected costs and ensures your electrical work is carried out safely.

Ask any potential electrical contractors the following questions to be sure they are the right person for your job:

Do you carry public liability insurance?

An electrician should hold valid public liability insurance to protect you and your property in case of accidental damage or injury during the work.

Do you provide a workmanship guarantee?

Electricians often offer a written guarantee that typically lasts 12 months or more. This guarantee should cover the quality of their workmanship and give you peace of mind after the job is complete.

Will I receive the necessary safety certificates once the work is finished?

For certain electrical jobs, like new circuit installations or consumer unit replacements, your electrician should issue the appropriate certificates (like an Electrical Installation Certificate or EICR) as proof that the work meets safety regulations.

Do I need to arrange an inspection or testing after the work?

Ask whether additional inspections or testing will be required. Many electricians can carry out testing themselves to ensure everything is safe and compliant.

How will you minimise disruption during the job?

If the work involves shutting off power or accessing key areas of your home, it’s helpful to know how the electrician will manage this to reduce disruption to your day.

Do you handle emergency or out-of-hours work if needed?

If you’re hiring someone for ongoing maintenance or larger projects, it’s worth checking whether they offer emergency callouts or after-hours support for urgent electrical issues.

What are your estimated costs and timelines? Get a clear breakdown of the costs before work begins (including labour, materials, and any potential extras) and confirm how long the job is likely to take so you can prepare.

FAQ: Your questions about hiring an electrician near you answered

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
