Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 46 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“Simion was right on time for the quote and was very patient throughout the process as our needs changed. Quotes were updated promptly. The workmanship was good (it was excellent in most places but the relaying of the turf was not as I would expect). The electricians were courteous and were prompt in arrival on both days of the work, I was impressed enough to get a quote for additional works”

Very good service!
The electricians were friendly and competent and did what they were asked to do. They also contacted my electricity provider when they noticed an issue at the meter. They were a bit slow to confirm pricing in advance, and didn't include VAT which I think they should.

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.
