Use the Government endorsed Registered Competent Person Electrical website to search the most comprehensive database of registered electricians and electrical inspectors in England and Wales. Electrical Inspectors are competent to undertake Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) which are required in privately rented properties at least every 5 years in Scotland and England.

All electricians listed meet rigorous entry requirements, are regularly assessed by government authorised scheme operators to ensure their ongoing technical competence and are required to adhere to a strict code of practice. They are able to work to legal requirements and supply the certificates and reports that are often needed if you should come to sell your home.

These engineers will be able work to legal requirements and supply the certificates that are often required if you should come to sell your home.
