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:
- Adding sockets and light fittings
- Replacing a fuse board (consumer unit)
- Rewiring a house or part of one
- Installing outdoor lighting
- Finding and fixing electrical faults
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.
- After new circuits or a new consumer unit you should get an electrical certificate. Ask for it and keep it with your house papers.
- Ask whether a quote includes making good, such as plaster and paint after cables are chased into walls.
- Ask whether the new circuits will be protected by RCDs. Modern installations normally are.
