> "Derek, Joe and the team were fantastic and so professional. It was a complicated project and involved a separate communal hallway system, individual flat specs, a fire alarm system, all new fuseboards, broadband cabling and TV aerials for whole building. They worked with enthusiasm, expertise, speed and courtesy. I would use them again in a heartbeat and have already recommended them to 2 friends."

## Before you hire an electrician
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- In 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.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
