They identified the best way to route the pipework and cabling through our flat with the least impact on the walls and flooring to minimise the redecoration work needed. They offered their experience to help us select the best shower based on our specific water pressure and power consumption needs. The work was on time, on budget and clean. 10/10 would definitely recommend and use again." > Source: Customer in Greater London (5.0, via Which?

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. - Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile. - Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out. ## Contact - Phone: 020 8998 2838 --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/better-heating-lighting-limited Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
