Our fuse box kept tripping, so Dilshan attended the property to inspect the issue. He claimed that our dishwasher was the cause and proceeded to disconnect it. He then requested an immediate payment of £250 for his services. Although he initially insisted on cash, I refused and instead transferred the amount to him. However, shortly after he left, the electricity system tripped again. Despite taking my £250, he failed to resolve the issue. He then attempted to upsell additional work, claiming that I needed to replace my sockets. He quoted £180 for low-cost socket covers and an additional £150

Electrical work in homes in England & Wales should be done by a registered competent person who can self-certify it meets the Part P safety rules. Check they're on the official register.
Check the electrical registerIn 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.
