We have been serving customers since 2007.

We have all our insurance via Hiscox Insurance, we need this to opperate & our trade organisations insist on their members having insurance anyway. Feel free to ask to see our insurance policy.

We will know if your job needs local authority approval. Regardless of what the answer is, it’s always worthwhile checking with your local authority as well. You can never be too careful, and the householder is ultimately the only one responsible.

All but a few minor electrical jobs need to be checked by an expert. If the electrician is ‘Part P’ registered, then they are trusted by the local authority to self-certify their work. SmartWired Electrical are 18th Edition qualified and NAPIT registered. You will re certificate at the end of the work to prove everything complies with the Building Regulations.

We only use the best meterials this may not be cheap but we know you will be satisfied and keeps us from returning back to address fault due to meterail fualts. Yes we guarantee our work for 12 months.

Sometimes, the person you are speaking to might not be doing the work. This is because it is quite common for an apprentice to learn on the job. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as the registered person checks the work before you pay. This is an accepted way of training an apprentice so don’t be put off.

The only sure way is to have a qualified electrician carry out an EICR (electrical inspection condition report) on your installation. This will highlight any problems you might have. However, there are certain things you should look out for that will guide you to the decision of whether to have the report done. Strange odours. Buzzing or fizzing noise Intermittent operation Hot spots Rodent damage Regular consumer unit trips

Many people often complain about the high rates that electricians charge for their services. But, if you just stop and think about the reasons why their charges are so high, you will soon understand. Danger Firstly, working with electricity is dangerous. Not only for the electrician but also for the householder. The electrician has trained for many years and has qualifications designed to ensure their work is safe. This takes time and they invest in their future by passing the exams to the required level. Most domestic electrical work involves repairing faults on circuits that might be many years old. And, repaired by different electricians over the years. It takes a lot of skill to unravel the problem and solve something arising from another person’s work. This will probably take much longer than you might expect, and you will end up footing the bill. Training, tools & other overheads Electrical safety standards improve all the time. While the fixtures and fittings change and improve. This means that the qualified electrician must continually train. And, understand new technologies and safe working procedures. Once again, this takes time and costs them money. Electricians use many tools and items of equipment that cost a lot of money. Without these expensive tools, they cannot do the job safely. An electrician must have transport and fuel to travel to and from their place of work. The transport costs are the same whether the job takes 1 hour or 8 hours. So, the hourly rates must be calculated to take this into account. Electricians must hold extensive insurance policies. This is to cover mistakes which might cause property damage, or injuries and fatalities. Even if the electrician is completely safe and has never made a claim, they still must have the correct insurance, or they won’t be able to legally trade. Expertise Finally, something that might at first seem a small job. For example, changing a buzzing light switch. This might turn into a major job of which the light switch fault is only a minor symptom. No-one knows until the electrician is on–site and checks the existing wiring. It’s only then that major problems show up. So, your bill might be more than you expected.

The 18th Edition Wiring Regulations are the British Standard (BS7671) to which all commercial, domestic and industrial electrical installation works must comply. The latest edition of the regulations is the "Requirements for Electrical Installations:
