We have used Select Electrical every time that we need any electrical work. You are instantly reassured that you are dealing with expert electricians. We asked them to check the electrics and do some work for our son as he has moved to a flat. They fitted a towel rail in the bathroom, additional sockets in various rooms and fitted new lights.

I had use Steve from select electrical for many years, yet again he comes through with top class service levels and is very neat and tidy with the work.
I called Steve out as some of the lights in my house suddenly stopped working. Communication was excellent, he arrived when he said he would as well as giving me notice so I didn't have to stay in and wait the whole day. Steve was friendly, quickly diagnosed the fault and explained it to me. Thankfully, he was able to carry out the repair the same day! Steve was very tidy, making sure to clean up after himself. All in all, I’m really happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing electrical help!

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.
