Highlights
“Steve is simply the best most professional tradesman I have ever encountered and I worked in the construction industry for over 40+ years. Did a fantastic job upgrading our domestic electric supply and various mods as well as a full condition survey and report. Always put in a full shift and kept us up to date with progress and ideas for making things more efficient or user friendly. Super tidy and polite at all times , was even happy to converse with our little one . Recommend him to everyone considering having electrical work done”
“Steve went above and beyond to help us take care of several electrical jobs, including installing new light fixtures, fitting a Ring Doorbell siren to the outside of our house, and fixing some shoddy electrical work in the backyard from the previous owners of the house. He was diligent in his work, effective at troubleshooting, and stayed friendly and pleasant throughout the whole process. We’re 100% satisfied and will certainly be calling him again the next time we need an electrician!”

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 5 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

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.
