Aug 26, 2025

Electrical work is too important to leave to chance. Hiring a trustworthy, qualified electrician protects your home and your family. At LBA Electrical Services, we believe every customer deserves peace of mind.

Here are seven key questions to ask before you hire:

1. Are You Registered and Insured?

Make sure your electrician is NICEIC or NAPIT certified, and carries public liability insurance.

2. Can You Show Me Examples of Your Work?

Reputable electricians will happily share past jobs or customer reviews.

3. Will You Provide a Written Quote?

Always ask for clear, itemised pricing to avoid hidden charges.

4. Do You Offer a Guarantee?

Ask what warranty is offered for the work completed.

5. Who Will Be Doing the Work?

Confirm whether the person quoting is the one who’ll be on site.

6. Do You Follow UK Wiring Regulations?

Compliance with BS 7671 is essential for safe, legal installations.

7. Can You Provide an Electrical Installation Certificate?

For most major works, certification is required and protects you legally.
