 With so many electricians in Cambridgeshire it can be a challenge knowing who will provide the best service to you, the customer!
What can help you with this decision? An important first step is:
Electrical work within your home is covered by industry standards and a legal framework. Therefore, it is important to ensure that anyone working on your property understands and complies with these standards and regulations. The easiest way to do this is to use an Electrical Contractor registered with the NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting). Those registered are assessed annually and samples of their work are inspected. This, combined with their access to the latest training and support means you can be confident that an Electrician registered with the NICEIC will deliver a very high standard of work! SafeSwitch Electrical are proud to be registered with the NICEIC. For free advice and quotes for electrical work in your home, feel free to contact us here or call us on 01223 226106.
