Highlights
“Have used CJ Appliances twice now, first to fix our washing machine where issue was diagnosed and fixed within around 15 minutes. Second time was to look at our dishwasher which stopped working, found the issue wasn’t economical to fix so suggested may be better off getting a new dishwasher and didn’t want to take any money due to no work undertaken. Reliable, honest and very very reasonable prices.”
“Really quick in booking me in to come and look at the machine. Turned up when he said and did a great job in fixing the issue! Would use again”

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 11 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
