Highlights
“Tim communicated really well before the visit, showing that he was prepared for the job. When he was here, he was very polite, informative and his work was of great quality. He was honest when reporting back to me. He did the job in a very good amount of time and you can tell he knows what he's doing. He was able to talk me through everything that had gone wrong so I could understand it. Really great service and would definitely recommend and use again! Thank you!”
“Bulldog fixed a few electrical faults that I needed sorting (dodgy power socket, bad earthing, MCB rating too high, etc). Tim was polite, hardworking, tidy and explained what he was doing. I also asked about an extractor fan, and after crawling around my loft, he said that he could install one (going through a side wall) but it would be better for me to contact a roofing company to put a roof vent in. What an honest trader.”

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.
