Electricians in Burghfield Common
Overview
Before you book a electrician
Most electrical work in a house is notifiable, so the paperwork matters as much as the work.
Are they registered with a competent person scheme?
NICEIC and NAPIT are the common ones. A registered electrician can sign off their own work under Part P of the Building Regulations and you get a certificate; otherwise the council has to inspect it, at your cost.
Will you get a certificate?
A new circuit, a consumer unit or a rewire should come with an Electrical Installation Certificate, and smaller jobs with a Minor Works Certificate. You will need them when you sell the house.
Have they done this kind of job before?
An EV charger, a rewire of an old cottage and an outdoor socket are different jobs. Ask for a similar one they have done locally.
