“Needed an electrical safety inspection done. Also wanted a new consumer unit fitted. Illumelec carried out all the work required. Brilliant service, top quality work, quick turnaround, good price, zero issues. Adam even identified some dodgy wiring in my shower and fixed it, preventing a potentially dangerous situation. Genuinely could not ask for better service, I will stick with Illumelec for any work I need doing in the future 10/10.”

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.
