Highlights
“John did a lovely job replacing all our facias and adding additional USB sockets, downlighters, an attic light and a new fuse box whilst checking the existing wiring and removing lots of unnecessary kitchen lighting wiring which saved us a lot of money over a complete rewire. He's very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and works in a very tidy manner. We would definitely recommend him.”

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.
