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.

Highlights
“Really pleased with Ryan’s work - I had a few jobs that needed doing in a flat I’m renovating - first time buyer so was all a bit new to me and was anxious about trusting advice but Ryan was great at pointing out things I hadn’t thought of, helped me work out what order to do things and then did a great job. Jobs included adding new sockets in the kitchen, installing a new heated towel rail and removing an old fuse spur, and removing an old oven fuse. All looks really neat!”
“It's in an old house, with some wiring going back over 50 years, so there were some issues to resolve. Ryan explained everything, advised on action, worked consistently and communicated helpfully. We are very pleased with the result.”

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.
