We used Live Wire for the electrics on our Air Source Heat Pump installation. They were excellent. Helpful, explained everything fully, tidy and reliable. Will definitely use them again and highly recommend.
We were very happy having solar panels fitted by Livewire electricians. In particular Alex took time to explain the process thoroughly beforehand and was happy to answer questions. We were glad to get a swift response when needing to contact him before the roof work started. He and colleagues were punctual and completed work in the expected time frame.

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.
