“Ben and the team recently installed a 7 kW solar PV system with an energy diverter and 18 kWh of battery storage for us. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. This is the second time we’ve used BB Electrical, and once again Ben’s experience and knowledge gave us complete confidence throughout the project. The system’s performing brilliantly, and the installation was neat and well thought out. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BB Electrical to anyone looking for solar, battery storage or electrical work, they’re a team you can trust!”

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations. Confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done. It is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
