“I phoned John, who was able to come out the next day at 09:30. He was on time, and soon located and rectified the problem resulting from the severed cable. I was impressed with his friendliness while working meticulously and with the fact that he donned overshoes to enter the house and took every tiny bit of waste material away. I would recommend John without hesitation for any domestic electrical work.”

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.
