Get Free QuotesWhat Sets Qualified Electricians Apart from Unqualified Traders
The term 'electrician' is not legally protected in the UK, meaning anyone can technically use it regardless of their actual qualifications. However, the law does restrict who can self-certify notifiable electrical work — only electricians registered with a government-authorised Competent Person Scheme (such as NICEIC, NAPIT, SELECT, or ECA) can do this. A qualified electrician will typically hold a Level 3 qualification in Electrical Installations (City & Guilds 2357 or equivalent) and the 18th Edition wiring regulations certificate (City & Guilds 2382).
Beyond qualifications, registered electricians are accountable to their scheme body, must maintain their competence through ongoing training, and carry appropriate insurance. Those who use unregistered contractors for notifiable work risk substandard installations, invalid insurance, difficulties when selling, and genuine safety hazards.
Every electrician listed on this site in Bargod has been assessed to confirm their qualifications and scheme membership are current and valid.

Value for Money — What a Fair Electrical Quote Looks Like
A fair electrical quote clearly sets out the scope of work, the materials to be used, the estimated labour time and total cost, and whether VAT is included. It should also confirm what certification will be provided on completion and whether the Part P notification is included. A professional electrician will provide all of this in writing before work begins.
- Red flags: Unusually low quotes that omit certification, large cash-only deposits, pressure to commit without written confirmation, or reluctance to confirm scheme registration
- Good signs: Clear written quote, scheme membership confirmed, professional communication, willingness to answer questions about approach and materials
Getting multiple quotes from electricians in Bargod is the most effective way to establish what fair pricing looks like for your specific job and location.
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.
