What an electrician does
An electrician plans the circuit, runs the cable, fits the accessories and then tests everything before it is switched on. They should be able to explain what they tested.
Jobs people often ask electricians to do:
- Adding sockets and light fittings
- Rewiring a house or part of one
- Installing outdoor lighting
- Fitting smoke and heat alarms
- Finding and fixing electrical faults
Before you book an electrician
- 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.
- Ask whether a quote includes making good, such as plaster and paint after cables are chased into walls.
- 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.
