What to check before hiring a electrician
- Are they registered with a recognised body (NICEIC, NAPIT or similar)?

- Do they carry public liability insurance?
- 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.
