Certification and Part P
All electrical work in the home must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. Using a qualified electrician registered with a government-approved competent person scheme — such as NICEIC, NAPIT, or SELECT in Scotland — allows the work to be self-certified. Always ask to see your electrician's registration before work begins, and expect an Electrical Installation Certificate on completion.
Common Electrical Jobs
Domestic electricians carry out a wide range of work including consumer unit replacements, partial and full rewires, additional circuits and sockets, EV charger installation, security lighting, and smoke alarm systems. For rental properties, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a legal requirement every five years.

Older Properties and Wiring Upgrades
Homes built before the 1990s may have wiring that no longer meets current standards. Signs include round-pin sockets, older fuse boxes with ceramic or rewirable fuses, or black rubber cable insulation. A qualified electrician can assess what upgrades are needed and whether a full rewire or targeted improvements are the most appropriate solution.
