Yes. Where certification is required, we’ll provide you with the appropriate electrical certificate for the work carried out.
Depending on the type of electrical work, this may include an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC), Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC), or Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
Your certificate provides important evidence that the electrical work has been inspected and tested and records the relevant details of the installation.
We’ll explain what certification is required for your particular job and make sure you receive the relevant documentation once the work is completed.
Your safety matters, and so does keeping the correct paperwork for your property
Yes, we carry out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for homes, landlords, businesses and other properties.
An EICR involves inspecting and testing the electrical installation to identify faults, damage, deterioration and potential safety issues. Once the inspection is complete, we’ll explain our findings clearly and provide you with the appropriate report.
EICRs can be particularly important when buying or selling a property, for rental properties, or as part of ongoing electrical maintenance and safety checks.
If we identify any issues, we’ll explain what needs attention and advise you on the most appropriate next steps.
Yes, we can replace old or outdated fuse boards with a modern consumer unit designed to provide improved safety and protection for your electrical installation.
If your fuse board is old, has rewireable fuses, lacks RCD protection or you’re unsure whether it meets current safety requirements, we can inspect it and advise you on the best options.
We’ll explain why a replacement may be recommended, what protection a new consumer unit can provide and what’s involved in the installation. All work is carried out by our qualified electricians with safety and compliance in mind.
If you’re unsure whether your fuse board needs replacing, get in touch and we’ll be happy to provide honest advice.

Having an EV charger at home can make owning an electric vehicle much more convenient and cost-effective.
Some of the main benefits include:
- Convenient home charging – Charge your vehicle at home rather than relying on public charging points.
- Save time – Plug your vehicle in when you get home and have it charging while you sleep.
- Potentially lower charging costs – Home charging can be cheaper than using some public charging networks, particularly if you have a suitable electricity tariff.
- Faster charging – A dedicated home EV charger can charge your vehicle much faster than a standard domestic socket.
- Easy and convenient – Simply plug in your vehicle when you arrive home and let the charger do the work.
- Smart charging options – Many modern chargers offer features such as scheduled charging and app control.
- A practical investment – Installing an EV charger can make your property better suited to modern electric vehicles.
EV chargers are a convenient way to charge an electric vehicle at home, but there are a few things to consider before having one installed.
The main disadvantages can include:
- Installation costs – There is an upfront cost for the charger and professional installation.
- Your existing electrics may need upgrading – Older electrical installations may require additional work before a charger can be safely installed.
- Charging takes time – Even with a home charger, charging your vehicle is generally slower than filling a petrol or diesel car with fuel.
- Limited by your electrical supply – The available charging speed can depend on your property’s electrical supply and the charger you choose.
- Location matters – The charger needs to be installed in a suitable position, with the correct electrical protection and cable routing.
- Technology changes – EV charging technology continues to develop, so newer chargers may offer features that older models don’t.

Yes. If your electrics keep tripping, we can investigate the cause and advise on the best solution.
Repeatedly tripping RCDs, circuit breakers or fuses can indicate an electrical fault, a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, overloading or another issue with the installation. We’ll carry out appropriate testing to identify the cause rather than simply resetting the power.
Once we’ve found the problem, we’ll explain what’s wrong in clear, straightforward language and recommend the necessary repairs. If additional work is required, we’ll discuss this with you before carrying it out.
Yes. Our electricians can investigate intermittent and difficult-to-find electrical faults using systematic testing and specialist equipment.
Some electrical faults can be difficult to identify because they may only occur occasionally or under certain conditions. We’ll carefully investigate the installation, carry out appropriate testing and work methodically to identify the likely cause.
We’ll explain what we find in clear, straightforward language and advise you on the best way to resolve the problem. If further repair work is required, we’ll discuss this with you before carrying out any additional work.

If anything unexpected is discovered once work has started, we’ll explain the issue and discuss any additional costs with you before carrying out extra work.
Not necessarily. It depends on your existing electrical installation and the type of electric heating you’re looking to install.
Some heating upgrades may be suitable for your existing wiring, while others may require new or upgraded circuits, cables, switches, controls or protective devices to safely handle the electrical load.
Our qualified electricians can assess your existing installation and the requirements of the new heating system. We’ll explain what work, if any, is needed and provide honest advice and a clear quotation before starting.
It can be, depending on the age and condition of your storage heaters, your heating needs and the type of replacement system you’re considering.
Older storage heaters can be less efficient and offer less control than newer models. Modern electric heating options may provide better temperature control, improved energy efficiency and more flexible heating.
Before replacing your heaters, it’s worth considering your existing electrical installation, the size of the property and how you use your heating. Our qualified electricians can assess the electrical requirements and advise whether any new or upgraded wiring, circuits or controls may be needed.

Part P is a section of the UK Building Regulations that covers electrical safety in homes and other domestic properties. It is designed to make sure electrical work is carried out safely and meets the required standards.
Certain types of electrical work in domestic properties are notifiable, meaning the work must either be reported to the local authority or carried out by a competent person who can self-certify the work.
Using a qualified and registered electrician gives you peace of mind that your electrical work is carried out safely, complies with the relevant regulations and, where required, the correct certification and notification are provided.
Using an insured electrician gives you additional peace of mind that the business is properly established and has protection in place should something go wrong.
However, insurance doesn’t replace qualifications, experience or proper electrical certification. It is still important to check that your electrician is suitably qualified and, where appropriate, registered with a recognised competent person scheme.
A professional electrical contractor will typically have different types of insurance depending on the work they carry out, including:
Public Liability Insurance
This protects against claims if someone is injured or property is damaged as a result of the electrician’s work. For example, if electrical work accidentally caused damage to your property, public liability insurance could help cover the associated claim.
Employers’ Liability Insurance
If an electrical company employs staff, employers’ liability insurance is generally required by law. It provides protection if an employee becomes ill or injured as a result of their work.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
This can provide protection against certain claims relating to professional advice, designs or other professional services, depending on the contractor’s policy.
Electrical work involves important safety responsibilities, so it’s important to choose an electrician who has the appropriate insurance in place. Insurance helps protect both you and the electrician if something unexpected goes wrong during electrical work.
NICEIC contractors are regularly assessed to ensure they meet the required technical standards, have the correct qualifications and insurance, and follow appropriate procedures for carrying out electrical work.
What are the benefits?
- Qualified and competent: You can have confidence that the electrician has the appropriate skills and knowledge.
- Regularly assessed: NICEIC contractors are assessed to ensure they continue to meet the required standards.
- Safety first: Electrical work needs to be carried out correctly to protect your home, business and family from electrical faults and potential fire risks.
- Correct certification: You should receive the appropriate electrical certificates and paperwork for the work completed.
- Peace of mind: Using a recognised contractor gives you greater confidence that the work is being completed professionally and to the relevant standards.
- Helpful when selling your property: Having the correct electrical certification and paperwork can be important when selling or remortgaging your home.
