Duncan did a site visit and provided sound advice on the job as well as an estimate. He arrived on the day he said he would at the agreed time, was here for as long as he said he would be and the invoice matched the estimate. Duncan was tidy and respectful towards our home. We have used Duncan for a number of years and would not hesitate to recommend him.

We've used Sussex Electrics several times now. Duncan is efficient, friendly and professional. His work is always of a very high standard. He really knows his stuff. We highly recommend Sussex Electrics.
Excellent job under on a not very straight forward job.

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

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.
