There are many benefits of using NICEIC-registered electricians including ensuring the work is completed to guaranteed safety and quality standards.
NICEIC contractors are regularly assessed to ensure they are competent and capable of meeting the safety standards.
NICEIC contractors registered to Building Regulations Schemes are able to self-certify work without going to local councils, saving you time and money.
If the electrical work of an NICEIC contractor is found to be below technical standard it requires the contractor to correct the work at no charge to the customer. The NICEIC operates a full Independent Complaints Procedure.
If you attempt DIY electrics or use an unqualified electrician you could be putting your family's lives at risk. Every year approx. 12500 house fires, 750 serious injuries and 10 deaths arise from dangerous electrics in the home.
Part P is a section of Building Regulations covering an electrical safety law aiming to improve domestic electrical safety and cut accidents. It brings electrical work in the home under statutory control.
Part P requires an electrician registered with a Government-approved scheme, like the one operated by NICEIC, to undertake most electrical work in your home. On completion, the NICEIC electrician will issue the customer with a safety certificate and a compliance certificate confirming the work meets Building Regulations.
