Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Detailed reviews
Great Communication from Dan following my enquiry, arranged a convenient and prompt time for one of his team to attend the site. Fynn who attended was courteous, helpful , explained the problems and looked for our best option rather than forcing added expenditure. All works completed within an hour . Great service . Would use again.
I was recommended to Dan Holgate of Holgate Electrical by Pearson Keehan Estate Agents. Dan was very engaging and said he hoped to arrange for the work to be done the same day. Dan informed me one of his electricians would call at approximately 4pm to complete the change of power socket. The work was carried out quickly and expertly, with advice given about the reason behind the problem in the first place. I would highly recommend Holgate Electrical for professional and speedy work.

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 4 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.

How long they've really been tradingThey state they've been established since 1970, but the earliest independent source we can find is 2022. Worth asking them about the gap.
