Electricians in Silchester

Overview

An older Silchester cottage may still be running on a consumer unit with rewirable fuses and wiring from a rewire decades ago, and a periodic inspection is the sensible first job before anything else is added. The conservation area does not restrict electrical work, but a listed cottage can restrict how cables are routed, and an electrician who has worked on one before knows to ask. Newer homes here are more likely to want an EV charger or a garden office supply, both of which are notifiable work with a certificate at the end.

Before you book a electrician

Most electrical work in a house is notifiable, so the paperwork matters as much as the work.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
