“We contacted DS Electrical Solutions after we discovered no working ground floor lights. Dominic visited us within an hour on his way home from another job and worked to discover and resolve the fault. He did this after working methodically and carefully throughout our property. He returned the following day to replace a faulty PIR which he also discovered was damaged. We were very impressed by his professionalism and also meticulous work ethic. We have kept his details to pass on to others and wouldn’t hesitate to use this company again. An OUTSTANDING service!!”

Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself
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.
