Get Free QuotesWhat to Look for When Hiring an Electrician in Porthmeor
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.

What Affects the Cost of Electrical Work in Porthmeor?
The cost of any electrical job is shaped by its scope and complexity. A single additional socket is a very different undertaking from a full consumer unit replacement or a whole-house rewire. The extent of the work, how many circuits are involved, how much new cable needs to be run, and whether any structural work is needed to route cabling, is the primary driver of overall cost.
Access to the cable runs is also a significant factor. Surface-mounted trunking is faster and cheaper than chasing cables into plaster. Older properties where cables need to be threaded through floor joists or solid walls take considerably more time than modern homes with more accessible structures.

Electrical Regulations and Legal Requirements, FAQ
Part P is the section of the Building Regulations (England and Wales) that covers the safety of electrical installations in dwellings. It requires that notifiable electrical work is either carried out and self-certified by a registered Competent Person, or approved by a local authority building control officer. Part P came into force in 2005 and applies to all domestic electrical work in England and Wales.
Notifiable work includes: new circuits, consumer unit replacement, and work in kitchens (within 3 metres of a sink), bathrooms, swimming pools, and outdoors. Adding a socket to an existing circuit in most rooms is not notifiable, but adding a new circuit is. If in doubt, ask the electrician, they have a professional and legal obligation to know what is and is not notifiable.
Yes. In England, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the electrical installations in their rental properties inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person. The resulting Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) must be provided to tenants and, on request, to local authorities. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000.
Uncertified electrical work can complicate a property sale. Buyers' solicitors will typically ask for electrical installation certificates for any notifiable work. If these cannot be provided, a buyer may request a reduction in price to cover the cost of having an EICR carried out and any remedial work completed. It is always far better and cheaper to ensure work is certified correctly at the time it is done.
BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) is the applicable standard for electrical installations across the UK. However, Part P of the Building Regulations applies only in England and Wales. Scotland has its own building standards system, and Northern Ireland has its own Building Regulations, but BS 7671 is the recognised technical standard throughout. Electricians registered with SELECT operate under the Scottish system.
