After heavy rains, we experienced an issue with our sockets tripping. Tom from Yellow Hammer responded promptly to my calls and thoroughly explained what to expect. He worked diligently to identify and resolve the fault, keeping me informed throughout the process. Despite the late hour, Tom ensured the job was completed to a high standard. Highly recommend his professionalism and dedication!

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.

Tom performed an excellent job in replacing our extractor fan and dimmer switch. He was punctual and tidied up afterwards. He explained the work he did and provided the necessary works certificate. Very impressed with his workmanship and professionalism!

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.
