Get Free QuotesWhat to Look for When Hiring an Electrician in Highworth
Choosing a qualified, trustworthy electrician is essential — electrical work done incorrectly can be extremely dangerous and costly to rectify. The most important thing to check is registration with a government-authorised Competent Person Scheme: NICEIC, NAPIT, SELECT (in Scotland), or the ECA. Registration with one of these bodies confirms the electrician is qualified to carry out and self-certify notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations.
Beyond credentials, look for evidence of public liability insurance, a clear written quote before work begins, and confirmation of what certification will be provided on completion. An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) or Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) should be issued for notifiable work — if an electrician is reluctant to provide this, that is a serious red flag.
Our site does this groundwork for you, listing only electricians who have met our vetting requirements so you can focus on finding the right fit for your job.
Professional Standards — Our Code of Conduct for Electricians
Every electrician listed on this site agrees to a code of professional conduct covering communication, quoting, workmanship, and complaint handling. We expect listed electricians to treat customers and their homes with respect, provide written quotes before commencing work, and issue appropriate certification on completion of all notifiable jobs.
- Written quotes provided before any work commences
- Clear, professional communication throughout the job
- Correct certification issued on completion without request
Electricians who consistently receive negative feedback or who are found to have breached our code of conduct are removed from the directory. We are committed to maintaining the quality of electricians serving Highworth.

Repair vs Replacement — How the Decision Affects Your Electrical Costs
Deciding whether to repair a faulty component or replace it entirely is a common cost consideration in electrical work. For an older consumer unit with rewireable fuses, for example, a full replacement with a modern RCD-protected unit is nearly always a better long-term investment than ongoing repairs to an outdated board — even if it costs more in the short term.
Similarly, if an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) reveals multiple category C2 observations (potentially dangerous conditions), the total cost of individual repairs may approach or exceed the cost of a partial or complete rewire. A qualified electrician in Highworth will advise you honestly on the most cost-effective approach, rather than simply selling the largest job.
Request multiple quotes and ask each electrician to explain their reasoning behind their recommended approach before making a decision.
