Highlights
"BS Electrical - Highly Recommended and great communications from start to finish. Made a nice change for a trade person to follow through after so many failed "no shows" from other electricians. Ben & Phil completed my EV charger installation within 2 hours and the power was only off for 20 minutes or so. Arrived early, professional job, cleaned up after themselves and even helped with setting the unit and the App up for me. Please don't waste your time looking and getting false promises from others, BS Electrical, Right First Time, Every Time. Well Done and Thank You"

"Excellent! Rang before they arrived. Punctual and did the work required in no time at all. No mess. Very polite. Would definitely recommend."

Smart checks
Before you hire an electrician
In England and Wales, notifiable electrical work (new circuits, a consumer unit, anything in a bathroom or kitchen) must by law be signed off under Part P of the Building Regulations — confirm they will handle that.
Prefer an electrician registered with a government-approved competent-person scheme (NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA) so they can self-certify the work meets the wiring regulations.
Insist on the Electrical Installation Certificate (or Minor Works Certificate) when the job is done — it is your proof the work is safe and compliant, and you will need it if you ever sell.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
Want an extra legitimacy check?
Run the Cowboy Checker on BS Electrical before you contact them.
