Highlights

“What can I say… S M Bates Electrical Contractors saved a damsel in distress at a critical time of my bungalow of which was in desperate need of a complete rewire due to electrics being original from 1950. The electrics were dangerous to say the least & I was advised to not use them & Steve made it his priority of my safety to not use due to the poor conditions. He prioritise the work carried out as urgent seeing the distress I was facing with my renovation on a strict budget. The reliability & trust Steve supplied me with was phenomenal & I wouldn’t call upon anyone else, ever. Thank you.”

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 register

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.
