How can you be sure the electricians you use are compliant and qualified?
Use appropriate sites if looking for an electrician near you in Winchester, such as Checkatrade. Registered electrical contractors, like us at D&B, should adhere to the following:
- All works performed will be in line with the current BS7671 standards (18th edition)
- They will have the appropriate insurances in place
- They will also be regulated by the UK and Scottish governments
Don’t be afraid to ask! Read online reviews and query them if needs be. Whether it’s simple socket replacements, full rewires or consumer unit changes, it shouldn’t matter. You, as a client, are entitled to ask. The same applies for commercial and industrial clients who are enquiring about LED upgrades and lighting installations.
- Explain the work you want done and consider asking two or more electricians to quote
- Ask to see their insurance documents and don’t be apologetic about it – you need to be reassured
- Are they members of government-backed schemes?
- Request a detailed and signed quotation
- Ask for a complete rundown of how they will approach the job in question
- Listen closely; a good electrician will explain their work without confusion or complicated jargon
