FAQ

All of our electricians are fully qualified, tested and certified in line with the current UK legislation for safe electrical installation – currently BS 7671:2018 IET Wiring Regulations 18th Edition, including inspection & testing.

The 18th Edition went live on the 1st July 2018. It is the very latest update to the wiring regulations and is an essential qualification for anyone working in the industry, to ensure safe and up to date work is carried out within current law and building standards.

In addition as a member of a UK electrical ‘competent person scheme’, in our case NAPIT, we have been assessed to high standards and can self-certify our work as being compliant with current Building Regulations.

You can start by asking for a test certificate from the previous owners or prospective vendors, to gauge the age of the current installation.

Does the age and condition of the property suggest it may need a review?

Are there obvious signs of possible circuit / accessory deterioration?
