Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Anonymous3.3 / 5 ·

Ben seemed very professional and competent. His communication and time keeping was a little poor. Unfortunately since he finished the majority of the work we have not been able to get hold of him at all. He has not finished the work we paid for, connections are coming loose already and we are having to get other electricians in to finish and fix his work. We were pretty shocked by this level of unprofessionality to be honest. Definitely would not recommend.

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.
