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.

Testimonials

Having attended our offices to undertake PAT testing of all our electrical devices we would like to thoroughly recommend the services of MS Electrical. Our offices have a multitude of mains powered devices of varying types, age and complexity – none of which phased the MS Electrical team. They undertook the task of locating each respective item and systematically testing it to the current standards in a professional and competent manner. Where there were any problems they reported the issue to us with their suggested course of action. Also, where the issues were minor (such as the wrong fuse) they replaced them as they went. No fuss. Prior to MS Electrical's visit I had told our staff to “brace themselves” for a lot of disruption, but how wrong I was! Other companies may leave you feeling like a whirlwind has been though the place, but MS Electrical could not have been more different. Thank you and please make sure we are in the diary for next year!
