Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Why should I use an NICEIC-registered electrician?

22nd September 2023

Here at MS Electrical we’re passionate about the quality and reliability of the service we deliver, which is why we hold valid accreditations with organisations such as NICEIC, Electrical Safety Register, SafeContractor and TrustMark.

As electrical safety specialists, NICEIC accreditation is central to our business and to our working methods. Whether it’s in a commercial or domestic setting, being an NICEIC-accredited electrician means that we’re not only competent but also that we’re capable of meeting the relevant technical and safety standards around BS7671. In turn, this means that any project will be carried out safely and responsibly to meet the NICEIC’s requirements.

Our NICEIC accreditation also guarantees that we offer safety and competence compliance with the requirements of published building regulations. As a customer you’ll also have the peace of mind of being covered by a standards guarantee and you’ll also enjoy access to an independent complaints procedure in the unlikely event that anything should go wrong. Finally, the NICEIC ensure that all accredited electricians have the correct insurances and policies in place to protect you.

NICEIC accreditation is re-assessed every year to make sure that standards and compliance are maintained, and as Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical explains, it’s a thorough exercise. ‘As well as examining our paperwork, the NICEIC inspectors visit three clients’ premises to evaluate the quality of our work and also our recording of the tests we’ve undertaken,’ says Mark. ‘We find it reassuring that NICEIC inspections are so detailed because it ensures that standards remain high across our industry and that customers can make an informed decision as to which electrician to engage for their project. When it comes to electrical safety testing, it’s crucial that this is carried out correctly because it can help avoid incidences of injury or even death through electric shocks and electrical fires.’

At MS Electrical we specialise in fixed wire testing and PAT testing in Cambridge. Call us on 01223 850301 or complete our enquiry form to request a no-obligation quotation to help keep your electrical safety in check.

Testimonials

Histon FC is making a long term investment in its Bridge Road Stadium so that it can offer players, fans and visitors the safest and best possible experience. Part of this project includes putting work in hand to ensure that all of the electrical devices and circuits throughout the Stadium are up to date and fully compliant with industry standards. Histon FC recently engaged MS Electrical Services to carry out a thorough electrical inspection of the Stadium. This is not the first time that Histon FC has called upon MS Electrical Services in this way. In addition to providing us with an excellent service, they also recommended where we should be planning to make improvements in future. I would recommend MS Electrical Services to any company wanting the best PAT and fixed wire testing results at a fair price.
