> "Posted a job last Friday. Decided to use 240 as the reviews were good & he was local. After a quick chat to discuss what was required Steven told me he could do the job on Tuesday and a price agreed. Tuesday morning, Steven called to advise he was on his way & arrived shortly after. The new thermostat was quickly replaced and Steven left after checking that everything was working well. FIRST CLASS SERVICE STEVEN. THANK YOU."

## 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.
