There is one very good reason for employing a qualified electrician.
Your safety

There are over 30 deaths and nearly 4,000 injuries from electrical accidents and the 7909 fires that occur in the home each year. We all take electricity for granted but it can be very dangerous in the wrong hands.

Incidents are caused by faulty appliances or the electrical installation itself, a properly-installed and well-maintained installation could save lives.
It is important therefore that electrical installation work is carried out only by persons who are competent. Such persons are those that have the necessary knowledge, skill and experience to enable them to avoid dangers to themselves and others that electricity can create. It's easy to make an electrical circuit work - it's far harder to make the circuit work safely.

Registered electricians will work to the UK national standard, BS 7671, and will issue a safety certificate for their electrical work to confirm that the installation has been designed, constructed, and inspected and tested in accordance with the national electrical safety standard, BS 7671 - Requirements for Electrical Installations.

Even if you don't hire us, don't do it yourself
