Registered electrician · domestic & landlord

The certificate is the job.

Anyone can make a light work. What you're paying for is the test, the paperwork, and someone whose registration means a building-control officer accepts it.

Which certificate do you need?
EICR — condition report — Landlords, every 5 years or at change of tenancy. Sellers often asked for one too
EIC — installation certificate — Any new circuit: a rewire, a shower, an outside supply, a consumer unit
Minor works certificate — Adding a socket or a light to an existing circuit
PAT — appliance testing — Rented and holiday-let properties, and most commercial insurance
Not sure — Describe the job in the form below and we'll tell you which one applies, free
If someone quotes you for electrical work and doesn't mention a certificate, that is the thing to ask about before the price.
How to check us before you book
Scheme registration — [Your scheme and registration number] — searchable on their public register
Notifiable work — We notify building control ourselves; your certificate arrives within 10 days
Insurance — Public liability and professional indemnity, certificate on request
Qualifications — [Your wiring-regulations qualification and test-equipment calibration date]
What we're not — Not a gas engineer and not a builder. We'll name one rather than have a go
These are placeholders. Put your real numbers in and point people at the register — an electrician who asks you to take their word for registration is asking the wrong thing.

Anything burning, sparking or shocking you: stop using it, turn it off at the consumer unit and call rather than filling this in.
