Mark and his team were absolutely brilliant. Very timely responses to any queries. Quickly came and gave some advice and a free quote. They were very flexible in arranging a suitable time and kept in touch. Turned up and did the work as planned to a very high standard within a few hours. Wired electricity to an outdoor shed/outhouse. Fitted new sockets and lighting which all work perfectly. Absolutely lovely guys. Would highly recommend and will be using them again in future!

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.
