Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

How can I tell if my electrician is registered?

31st July 2023

With the incidences of professional scams and the prevalence of rogue traders and on the rise, it’s more important than ever to ensure that you’re engaging a reputable supplier, especially in a commercial context.

Whether you’re looking for PAT testing, fixed wire testing or electrical installation work, start by checking that the electrician is a registered member of a government-approved scheme such as the NICEIC.

Using the services of a registered electrician means that you enjoy protection should the worst happen and something go wrong.

Electrical installations carried out by a registered electrician will help to reduce the likelihood of an accident or injury occurring. In addition, the installation will be more likely to perform well in future fixed wire testing, which can save time and money.

Overall, by using a registered electrician such as MS Electrical for your electrical safety testing you’ll have the peace of mind that:

  • we’re regulated by the UK government
  • we operate according to the safety standard BS7671
  • our work is assessed on an annual basis
  • we have all the relevant insurances which protect both parties

Registration is a legal requirement for an electrician to carry out certain electrical work, so it’s prudent to check fully before making your choice of supplier.

At MS Electrical we’re fully registered and accredited, and we specialise in commercial fixed wire testing and PAT testing in Cambridge. Contact us to request a no-obligation quotation to help keep your electrical safety in check.
