Get Free QuotesWhat Happens After You Submit an Electrician Request on This Site
Once your request is submitted, it is shared with a small number of qualified, vetted electricians who serve Wigston. You won't be bombarded with calls — just a manageable number of responses from tradespeople who are genuinely interested and available for your type of job. Each electrician who contacts you has already passed our vetting process.
From there, the decision is entirely yours. You can ask questions about qualifications and approach, arrange site visits, compare quotes, and confirm your booking in your own time. Once the work is complete, the electrician should provide you with the appropriate electrical certification — an Electrical Installation Certificate for new installations or a Minor Works Certificate for smaller jobs.
After the job, we encourage you to leave a review on the electrician's profile to help other homeowners in Wigston make informed decisions.
Insurance and Public Liability — Essential for Electrical Work
Public liability insurance is a fundamental requirement for any professional electrician working in your home. It protects you if the electrician accidentally causes damage to your property or injury to a third party during the course of their work. For a trade with the potential safety implications of electrical work, the importance of this cover cannot be overstated.
- All listed electricians must hold current public liability insurance
- Cover protects you against accidental property damage or injury claims
- Gives you a route to redress if something goes wrong
Always ask for confirmation of insurance details before work begins. A professional electrician will provide this without hesitation. If a contractor is reluctant to confirm their cover, look elsewhere.

Electrician Qualifications and Verification — Your Questions Answered
A qualified domestic electrician should hold a Level 3 qualification in Electrical Installations (such as City & Guilds 2357), the 18th Edition wiring regulations certificate (City & Guilds 2382), and — for inspection and testing work — the City & Guilds 2391 qualification. They should also be registered with a government-authorised Competent Person Scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT.
You can verify NICEIC registration at niceic.com using the 'Find a Contractor' tool, and NAPIT registration at napit.org.uk. Both allow you to search by company name or postcode. Always verify independently rather than relying solely on what a contractor tells you.
BS 7671 — commonly referred to as the 18th Edition — is the national standard to which all new electrical installations and alterations in the UK must be designed and installed. It is published by the IET and is periodically updated to reflect new technologies and safety requirements. Electricians must hold a current 18th Edition qualification to carry out notifiable work.
An apprentice can carry out work under the direct supervision of a fully qualified, scheme-registered electrician. They must not work unsupervised on notifiable work or sign off electrical certificates. If you are concerned about who will actually be doing the work, ask the company directly and confirm that a qualified registered electrician will be on site and responsible throughout.
The Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA) is a trade body rather than a Competent Person Scheme operator. ECA membership indicates professional standing within the industry, but for Part P self-certification purposes, an electrician also needs to be registered with NICEIC, NAPIT, or another government-authorised scheme. Many ECA members are also NICEIC or NAPIT registered.
