There are many rogue tradesmen in the UK who are notorious for completing shoddy work at extortionate rates. A bad reputation soon gains momentum and deters people from employing the services of such con artists, however, what lies on the other end of the spectrum? Today we here at London Electricians offer five positive traits of a great electrical contractor:
Qualifications
First and foremost, your electrical contractor should possess adequate certification and insurance that demonstrate they are qualified to carry out electrical work on your domestic or commercial property. They should also be proactive when it comes to keeping up to date with their industry; this includes changes to regulations and legal requirements as well as the introduction of new techniques. Finding an engineer who adheres to strict electrical work procedures as set out by UK regulatory bodies will give you peace of mind that any completed electrical installations or repairs are of a high standard and will last for years to come.
Proven Experience as an Electrical Contractor
Case studies and testimonials are a great means of discovering more about the experience of your electrician. Some electrical contractors may even allow you to observe them at work on other projects so that you can witness first hand the quality of their electrical services. An electrician who has amassed a wealth of experience will not only have the capability to offer a broad range of services, they will also be more confident in handling any expected or unusual problems that appear.
Transparency and Reliability
Your electrical contractor should arrive promptly on the agreed date and time, communicating where possible any delays or unexpected problems. Moreover, timeframes and estimated cost of electrical services should be detailed and openly communicated at the start of the project. Sometimes additional expenses may arise, however anything that is purposely hidden from you is a warning sign that your electrical contractor may not be trustworthy, and also casts a suspicious light on the quality of their work.
Positive Reviews

Look for positive recommendations on the company website, review websites, and social media platforms such as Facebook and Google+ to gain a broader perspective on your potential tradesman.
