Rewiring and fuse box upgrades
Full and partial rewires, consumer unit replacements with modern RCD protection, extra sockets, new lighting circuits and EV chargers.
Safety checks and certificates
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for homeowners, buyers and landlords, and certificates for new work.
Electrical work is one job you shouldn’t DIY. Use a registered electrician who can test what they’ve done and give you a certificate. Most new circuits, consumer unit replacements and work in bathrooms have to be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations. An electrician registered with a competent person scheme can do this for you, and you can check their registration on the Electrical Competent Person register before they start.
Trade Pilot helps you find an electrician near you without phoning round. Describe the job once, and up to 3 vetted electricians who cover your postcode can quote. Reviews on Trade Pilot are tied to real, invoiced jobs, so you’re reading about work that was actually done and paid for.
To get useful quotes, say what you need and roughly how old your wiring or fuse box is. A photo of the consumer unit helps. For a rewire, give the number of bedrooms and say whether you’ll be living in the house during the work.
When quotes arrive, check they include testing and the certificate. Ask how the electrician will price any extra faults they find once they start, and, for bigger jobs, who does the plastering and making good afterwards.
Posting a job is free, and you don’t have to accept any quote.

Most new circuits, consumer unit replacements and work in bathrooms are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. A registered electrician can self-certify the work and give you a certificate. Keep it, as buyers’ solicitors will ask for it when you sell.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a safety check of your wiring, sockets, lights and consumer unit. The electrician tests each circuit and grades anything that needs attention by how urgent it is.
If you still have rewirable fuses, or your board has no RCD protection, an upgrade is usually recommended. An EICR will tell you if it’s needed.
