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

Part P Compliance Costs — What You Need to Budget For
Notifiable electrical work in England and Wales must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. An electrician who is a member of a government-authorised Competent Person Scheme (such as NICEIC or NAPIT) can self-certify this work — meaning they notify the scheme, which then notifies the local authority on your behalf and issues a completion certificate. This service is typically included in the electrician's charge, but it is worth confirming this when reviewing quotes.
If you use an electrician who is not scheme-registered, you would need to apply for building control approval separately before work begins — an additional cost and administrative burden. The appropriate electrical certificate (an EIC or MEIWC) must be issued on completion of all notifiable work regardless of the route taken.
Ensure any quote you receive for notifiable electrical work in Acaster Selby explicitly includes certification costs and confirms the electrician's scheme registration.
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.
