Electrician

A customer may need an electrician for a fault, an installation, an upgrade or planned renovation work involving fixed wiring. The request should identify the affected rooms or circuits, symptoms or error conditions, existing connection points, equipment to be installed and any known age or condition of the electrical system so the electrician can judge testing, access, materials and likely scope.

Service scope

Electrical work covers diagnosis, installation, alteration and repair of fixed electrical systems and connected equipment, from sockets and lighting to circuits, distribution equipment, EV charging preparation and data cabling, subject to the rules that apply in the relevant market.

What is normally included

  • Installing sockets, switches and lighting
  • Diagnosing circuit faults and power loss
  • Upgrading fixed electrical installations
  • Preparing EV-charging or higher-load connections
  • Installing network and data cabling

What is not included

  • Utility-network work outside the property owner's responsibility
  • Appliance repair that does not involve the fixed installation
  • Unqualified live electrical work by the customer

Typical tasks

  • Install sockets, switches and light fittings
  • Trace faults, tripping circuits and loss of power
  • Upgrade wiring or distribution components
  • Prepare EV charger or high-load connections
  • Run data, network or low-voltage cabling

What to include in your brief

  • Affected rooms, circuits or equipment
  • Symptoms, outages or error conditions
  • Age and known condition of the installation
  • Photos of panels, outlets or intended equipment
  • Required timing and access to the property

Choosing the right professional

Choose an electrician whose experience matches the task and who can explain the testing, materials and access needed before work starts. Ask how any required certification, inspection or documentation will be handled in the local market, and make sure the quote distinguishes diagnosis from repair when the fault is not yet known.

Important considerations

  • Electrical faults can present shock or fire risks and may require urgent isolation
  • Work on distribution equipment or higher loads may need additional approvals or qualified sign-off
  • Hidden wiring routes can expand the scope after testing
