An electrician handles the electrical wiring, sockets, switches, lighting circuits, consumer units (fuse boards) and earthing in a property. They diagnose faults, fit new circuits, certify safety, and install EV chargers and solar PV systems.
Common jobs: Adding sockets or moving them; Replacing a consumer unit / fuse board; Diagnosing why something keeps tripping; Wiring a new room or extension; EV charger install; Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR); Rewiring an older property.
Changing a light bulb or replacing a like-for-like ceiling fitting in a dry area is fine. Wiring, new circuits, or anything in a bathroom needs a registered electrician — both for safety and for legal certificate purposes.
If you're not sure where the line is, the hiring guide walks through what to ask, how to vet quotes, and when to walk away.

FAQ
A business needs a 4★ Google rating and at least five reviews to be listed at all. From there we score on a combination of average rating and total review count. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star electrician with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.
