Find An Electrician Near Me Now
How can I find an electrician near me is something you might ask for many different reasons. It could be that you need an electrical safety check, a cooker point moving or a complete re-wire of a house. Registered have local electricians on our database and all our vetted, checked and insured. They can quote for any type of work, large or small, and can be trusted to work to a high standard and comply with all safety standards.
Have you ever considered that some of the most vital components of your home aren’t immediately visible? The pipes that deliver water and heat and the wiring and cables that deliver electricity. Without these, the home comforts really don’t exist! And if they aren’t maintained and looked after the consequences can be severe. Burst pipes, flooding, electrical failure and at the very worst fires. Just as you hire a local gas engineer for a boiler safety check you should be willing to hire a local electrician to check your home’s wiring on a regular basis.
Fortunately, electricians are regulated in the UK, so there is an easy way to find one that’s safe and legal. A registered UK electrician works to specified safety standards and has their work assessed on a regular basis. As regulations change they have to prove they comply. If you ask ‘how can I find an electrician near me’ you should really be asking ‘how can I find a registered, Government approved electrician near me!’
Be clear about the work you need completing and unless it’s a very quick job ask for a written quotation. Statistics indicate that over 30% of UK adults have had to pay to fix poor electrical work and the average repair bill is over £750! Paying a little more for a registered electrician is worth it if you have peace of mind that they will do the job well and to UK safety standards.
As well as a written quotation, ask for a schedule of works and a timescale for completion. Some local electricians may take on the work but allow things to drag as they shuffle projects and other commitments. You may also be able to negotiate a penalty of work isn’t completed within the agreed timescale from larger firms.
The Registered database is a great place to start when you’re looking for a reliable, Government approved electrician.
