What an electrician does
Typical work starts with finding what the existing wiring is, then adding to it safely. Older homes sometimes need more than expected, so ask for the plan before work starts.
Jobs people often ask electricians to do:
- Replacing a fuse board (consumer unit)
- Fitting an electric vehicle charger
- Fitting smoke and heat alarms
- Finding and fixing electrical faults
- Carrying out an electrical safety inspection
Before you book an electrician
- Some electrical work in a home in England has to meet Building Regulations (Part P). Ask whether your electrician is registered with a competent person scheme, or how the work will be certified.
- Landlords in England must have the electrics in rented homes checked at least every five years. Ask for the inspection report (EICR) after the visit.
- Tell the electrician about anything you plan to add later, like a charger or a hot tub, so the new fuse board has room for it.
- Ask whether the new circuits will be protected by RCDs. Modern installations normally are.
