If you're having some electrical work carried out at your home in Bath or West Wiltshire, it is generally a good idea to hire a professional, registered electrician to perform the work. Electrical work can be dangerous and should only be performed by trained and qualified individuals (In the wiring regulations these are called 'skilled' people). A professional electrician will have the appropriate knowledge through specific training, skills, and tools to safely complete the work.
Before hiring an electrician, you should do your research to find a reputable and reliable contractor. We always recommend finding reviews online use Google and view pictures of their work online. You can also ask for recommendations from friends and family. We'd always recommend getting 2-3 quotes from different electricians to find a contractor you're comfortable with and you trust.
When hiring an electrician, it's a good idea to ask for their liability insurance and their competent person scheme registration number. A registered electrician shows that they have the necessary qualifications and insurance and are assessed to prove they can competently perform the work.
It is also a good idea to have a written quote that outlines the scope of work, and a fixed price for the job. This will help to protect your interests and ensure that the work is completed to your satisfaction.
