Electricians - What Do You Need To Know?

If you are looking for an electrician in Charlbury you have come to the right place.
Electrical contractors will generally provide a range of services to the domestic and commercial areas and there are plenty to choose from in Charlbury. The services usually include re-wiring or installation of sockets and switches, additional sockets and switches, fuseboard replacement, electrical bonding, internal and external lighting installations, emergency lights, house rewiring, energy use meters, electrical testing, inspections, storage heaters, underfloor heating, sometimes data cabling, cctv, home automation, PAT testing, RCD installation, burglar alarms, fire alarms, smoke alarms, electric showers, etc.

Most companies will provide a 24 hour callout service but of course you will be subject to additional fees if you need someone quickly or during evenings or weekends.

Choose The Right Company
Customers should expect any work completed to be safe and carried out by poeple who have the skill and experience to do the job well. There are standards bodies covering all major areas of construction work, and electricians are no exception.
They are expected to meet relevant technical and safety standards and if they do not you can take this up with the relevant body, but the first point of call should always be the supplied who should rectify the issue.

Ideally look for providers in Charlbury who offer a warranty on their work. Most reliable providers will return to fix a problem free of charge, and some warranties are supported by an industry group.

Check Their Reputation and Certification
Regarding standards, since 2005 electricians working on domestic properties must be completed by someone registered to 'Part P' of the building regulations. They can then self certify their work. If they are not registered they would need to bring in a Part P registered company to assess their work.
Work should also meet the UK National Standard BS 7671 (Requirements for Electrical Installations) and they should be able to provide you with an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate, along with a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate to prove that the work they have carried out is up to the required quality levels.
There are also companies like 'Check a Trade' which provide a verified reputation score from genuine customers.
When choosing a supplier, ideally you will select one that is registered with the NICEIC.
This is a standards organisation that means you can be confident that if the work is not up to required quality levels there is a defined complaints procedure.
