What to check before hiring a electrician

  • Are they registered with a recognised body (NICEIC, NAPIT or similar)?

  • Do they provide a clear written quote?
  • Can they show evidence of recent, relevant local work?

Frequently asked questions about hiring a electrician in Bolton

How often should I get an EICR done?

For a rented property, every 5 years is a legal requirement. For an owner-occupied home, every 10 years is generally recommended, or sooner for older properties.

Do I need a certified electrician for a rewire?

Yes. Rewiring is notifiable work under Building Regulations and must be certified by a registered electrician.

Is it worth upgrading my consumer unit?

If your home still has an old fuse box rather than a modern RCD-protected consumer unit, upgrading significantly improves safety.
