Highlights
“Work was carried out on short notice and in one day exactly as requested including altering the wiring”
“Universal Electrical worked with us over an 18 month period during a full house and garden renovation in Bath. Rich, Will and the Toms installed all the electrics, both inside and outside, and their work has been exceptional. They are experienced, knowledgable, capable and lovely people too. Excellent communication and competence helped us feel confident in all their work. I’ve used other decent electricians over the years, but no one else has been as good.”
“Rich and his team at Universal have been working with us to completely replace all the electrics and old wiring. Our house is an old one and the electrics had been extended over the years following a number of larger extensions from previous owners. Working with Rich has been fantastic and we would highly recommend him as he manages budgets well and communicates progress. He has been able to provide helpful advice so we made the right choices for things like kinetic switches, data cabling, external sensors, two way switches, EV chargers and also helping us to move over to 3 Phase electrics.”

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.
