Checking an electrician is registered

Electrical work in dwellings is covered by Part P of the Building Regulations, so it is worth confirming that an electrician is registered with a government-approved scheme such as NICEIC, NAPIT, ELECSA or STROMA. Registered installers can self-certify notifiable work and issue the relevant certificates, and you can check a business against these schemes' online registers before booking. For any completed job, ask for an Electrical Installation Certificate or a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate as your record.

Getting quotes and reports in Milton Keynes

For larger jobs such as a rewire or a consumer unit replacement, it is sensible to compare written quotes from more than one electrician and to confirm what is included, for example making good plaster or supplying fittings. Landlords in Milton Keynes, Bletchley, Wolverton and the surrounding towns are legally required to have a valid EICR carried out at least every five years, and homeowners often request one when buying or selling. Confirm public liability insurance and whether the electrician offers a callout service for emergencies before work begins.

Do I need a certificate after electrical work?

Yes. For most installation work a registered electrician should issue an Electrical Installation Certificate, or a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate for smaller jobs. Keep this document, as it is proof the work meets the current wiring regulations and is often needed when selling or renting a property.

How often should an EICR be carried out?

Rented homes must have an Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every five years or at change of tenancy. Owner-occupiers are advised to have one roughly every ten years, or sooner if the wiring is old or the property is being bought or sold.
