Don't Get Caught Out This Year of the Snake – Check Your Electrician Is Qualified!
As we enter the Year of the Snake, it’s a great time to reflect on wisdom and vigilance. In Chinese tradition, the snake represents intelligence and alertness—qualities that should be applied when choosing an electrician for your home or business. Unfortunately, too many people get caught out by unqualified or unregistered tradespeople, leading to dangerous and costly mistakes.
At East Kent Electrical, we take safety and professionalism seriously. That’s why we always recommend that before hiring any electrician, you check they are registered with a Competent Persons Scheme. The easiest way to do this is by visiting the Competent Persons Register at electricalcompetentperson.co.uk.
Why Is Checking an Electrician’s Credentials Important?
Electrical work is not something to take lightly. Poorly installed wiring or substandard repairs can result in serious hazards, including electric shocks, fires, and even fatalities. Using a registered electrician ensures:
Safety Compliance – They meet UK regulations and safety standards.
Quality Workmanship – They have been assessed for competence and skill.
Legal Protection – Work completed by registered electricians is covered by regulatory bodies.
What to Look for in a Reputable Electrician
When choosing an electrician, keep these key factors in mind:
Are they registered? Always check their name or company on the Competent Persons Register.
Do they have good reviews? Look at customer feedback on Google or Trustpilot.
Are they transparent about pricing? Avoid electricians who give vague estimates or request large upfront payments.
Do they provide guarantees? A reliable electrician will stand by their work.
