How do I check an electrician is properly registered?

Accepted Answer

Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.

Question 10

One electrician in Bovey Tracey says rewire, another says new board. Who's right?

Accepted Answer

Ask both for test results, not opinions. An EICR shows insulation readings and earthing for each circuit, which settles it. If the readings are good, a new board at around £580 is fine. If they're poor or the cable is rubber-covered, budget for a rewire nearer £5,200.

The report will list C1 (danger now) and C2 (potentially dangerous) items, plus FI where more checking is needed.
