# Holgate Electrical

Holgate Electrical is an electrician in Lancing. Rated 5.0/5 from 3 public reviews across 1 review source. This is the MyTrustedTraders public-evidence profile for this trader, with independent reviews, credentials and registry data from named public sources, no ads, and no paid placement.

Trust Score: 58 out of 100, with a caution: only 3 reviews held yet. A small public record keeps the evidence thin, and the score reflects that.

We cross-checked Companies House: this business is officially registered for work that matches the electrician services it advertises - independent confirmation it's a genuine business set up to do this kind of work, not just a directory entry.

They state they've been established since 1970, but the earliest independent source we can find is 2022. Worth asking them about the gap.

> "I was recommended to Dan Holgate of Holgate Electrical by Pearson Keehan Estate Agents. Dan was very engaging and said he hoped to arrange for the work to be done the same day. Dan informed me one of his electricians would call at approximately 4pm to complete the change of power socket. The work was carried out quickly and expertly, with advice given about the reason behind the problem in the first place. I would highly recommend Holgate Electrical for professional and speedy work."

## Before you hire an electrician
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- 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.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
- Check any credential evidence, and that the business details independently check out.
