This was the second time I have used DC Power and on each occasion I have found Dan friendly, punctual and the work reasonably priced. On the first occasion was to rectify lighting fault caused by previous electrician.

Detailed reviews
Dan installed 12 new spotlights across 3 downstairs rooms and also did a number of smaller electrical jobs including moving plug sockets, fitting a new outside light, and changing a broken plug socket. He is very friendly, professional, fair, extremely reliable and works hard to do a great job. He is also very considerate and clean and tidy. We will definitely go to Dan for any future electrical work and would not hesitate to recommend him.
Dan was very reliable and polite. He was clear on his pricing and did a good job. We would definitely recommend him and use him again.

Official checkOn the public register
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 9 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.
