I am an Old Age Pensioner of 76 years old. Seven wifi switches needed to be removed including the pairing with each light Took just less than one hour, the pairing was not removed. Switches were installed upside down. It was agreed for me to pay over 300 by card, but they ignored this and ended up using PayPal. They then asked me to pay again. I then had to remove my paypal account as it was upsetting me so much. He wanted to come and correct what his young chap did but I refused as I no longer can trust them. So very expensive for a very bad experience underlined by bad administration.
Nice and tidy job, and cleaned up after themselves. Thank you!

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

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.
