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 8 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“I called Mark for a quote to change 3 light fittings. I already had 2 fittings but he gave me advice for the 3rd fitting as this was for a bathroom. Fitted me in the following week and called me in the morning of the arranged date to confirm the appointment was still ok. Great communication, friendly, knowledgeable, tidied up after themselves and even filled in holes where previous fittings had been! Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would definitely recommend.”
“They arrived as promised. Best indication was when they arrived took out a pair of stepladders and a vacum cleaner, a good sign of a careful tidy craftsperson. they changed three ceiling lights in the bathroom, one ceiling light outside our bedroom and replaced a electrial socket in the kitchen. All done in one visit and fast. It will not be the last time we use them.”

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.
