Always use a qualified electrician who is registered with NICEIC, NAPIT, or a similar competent person scheme.

Ask for an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) on completion — this is a legal requirement for notifiable work.
- 3
Check they carry public liability insurance of at least £2 million.

Avoid the cheapest quote if the electrician cannot provide evidence of qualifications — safety is non-negotiable with electrical work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does electrical work need to be notified to building control?
Certain electrical work in dwellings must be notified to your local authority building control. If your electrician is registered with a competent person scheme (such as NICEIC or NAPIT), they can self-certify their work, which is the standard approach.
How long does a full house rewire take?
A full rewire of a 3-bedroom house typically takes 5–10 days. You will usually need to be out of the rooms being worked on while work is in progress, though most electricians try to minimise disruption.
What is an EICR and when do I need one?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of your home's wiring and consumer unit. It is recommended every 10 years for owner-occupiers, and is a legal requirement for landlords every 5 years (or at the start of a new tenancy).
Can I do my own electrical work?
Homeowners can carry out minor non-notifiable work (such as replacing a like-for-like socket or switch) but any notifiable work — new circuits, consumer unit changes, work in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoors — must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
