Jim of Canelectric is a truly our only electrician of choice. He fitted the new hob - which was a really fiddly job - with great expertise. Thank you Canelectric.

Detailed reviews
Excellent work. Jim Cannell turned up exactly when agreed. Did the jobs without any fuss, even though they might have been a bit fiddly! (in a rental property in East Brighton). Prices were very fair and within quotes. And Jim was very personable and friendly in communication and explaining to landlord and tenants. Professional work by professional tradesperson!!! Happy to recommend.
Came down in the morning to find electric sockets not working on the ground floor. Called James and he fitted us in - came around a few hours later. It was a challenging task but he was extremely thorough and identified the cause of the problem and rectified it. He also provided a general diagnosis of the state of the wiring and suggested future improvement work for when we have our kitchen renovated. Very knowledgable and would not hesitate to use him again or to recommend him.

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 14 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.
