"Paul is an excellent electrician. He is accommodating and personable. Given my restricted budget, he has been most helpful in suggesting a safe and practical stepped approach to the work required in my house which has been extensive and complicated; given the strange way the previous owners carried out their 'DIY projects. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone else."

Electricians

A local qualified electrician can do all sorts of electrical home improvements and repairs for you. From the usual lighting and power fixes to air conditioning, electric underfloor heating and security jobs like access control.

Micro-generation

For greener living, you can use an electrician to install micro-generation products like solar panels. This will save you money and mean you could even get paid in the future for the energy you produce for others.

The 'Competent Person' scheme

Electricians are getting qualified in micro-generation through schemes such as ELECSA that also runs the 'Competent Person' scheme for electricians. The 'Competent Person' scheme cuts out the hassle of home owners having to notify building regulations for most types of domestic electrical work. Electricians certified by the 'Competent Person' scheme carry out works which comply with current UK regulations for electrical work.

Electrical services and repairs

Most electrical jobs around the home are best left to a qualified electrician. Anything but the simplest tasks require specialist knowledge to ensure that they are carried out safely and effectively and to avoid severe health risks and damage to your appliances.

What does an electrician do?

The role of an electrician is to carry out electrical installations, repairs and emergency electrical work. Some specialise in installing electrical wiring in commercial, industrial and domestic buildings, while others spend most of their time performing maintenance and repairs on electrical systems and appliances.

A qualified electrician will generally carry out a wide variety of work. If you live in an old house with aging wiring, you may wish to hire an electrician to carry out a complete rewiring of the property to ensure its safety. If a fault has occurred within any element of your household electrical system, an electrician can be called upon to carry out emergency electrical work to rectify the problem. Other electrical jobs include locating and fixing faults, repairing household electrical appliances and performing safety checks.

Common electrical installation work

As well as repairing existing electrical systems, a qualified electrician can also perform any electrical installations you may need doing in your home. This might be fitting new plug sockets as needed, installing a new fuse box or anything else associated with your household electricity supply. If you’re planning on having new lighting fitted in any part of your home, an electrician is the person to call. Some electricians meanwhile specialise in fitting electrical home improvements, such as electric showers and ceiling fans. When electrical work is needed, the sensible and safe option is to call the professionals.
