Trusted Traders - Monday–Friday: 8am–5pm ## Before you hire an electrician _What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_ - In 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. - Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile. - Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out. ## Contact - Website: http://www.mbelectrics.org --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/martin-burke-electrical-contractors Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
