Is It Illegal to Do Electrical Work Without a License?

Why It’s Best to Call in the Professionals

Electrical work can be complex and potentially dangerous, and while it isn’t against the law for unlicensed individuals to carry out basic electrical repairs and installations, that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea! Here is everything you can expect from the commercial electricians Essex property owners trust.

Knowledge and Safety

One of the primary benefits of hiring a qualified electrician is their training and expertise in handling a wide range of electrical systems. Our electricians possess in-depth knowledge of all the complexities of commercial work and can tailor the approach to suit the needs of a wide range of business owners.

So, why shouldn’t you go it alone? Well, amateur attempts at DIY electrical projects may result in damage to your property or serious injury to you and others. In contrast, our electricians have undergone years of training and are always adding to their health and safety skills with further qualifications. You’re in the safest possible hands with them.

Efficiency

When you work with us, you can look forward to your work being completed quickly. Our electricians are able to familiarise themselves with different electrical setups right away, allowing them to diagnose issues promptly and come up with solutions they can get to work on right away. They will also arrive with all of the tools they need, further streamlining the process.

If you were to try and tackle an electrical issue yourself, you might find yourself overwhelmed with unfamiliar terminology and unexpected complications, along with having to fit the work in around your existing schedule.

Compliance with Regulations

There are many rules and regulations surrounding electrical work in commercial premises in the UK, and adherence to these rules ensures everything from structural integrity to fire safety. An unqualified person doing the work themselves could pose severe risks – and when this work is being carried out on a commercial property there is a duty of care to the wider public to consider as well.

Many electrical jobs also need to be signed off by a qualified professional to ensure compliance with all regulations too, so it’s just easier to have them handle it from the start!

Adaptability

Our team of experienced electricians bring another crucial advantage to the table as well: adaptability. As projects progress, unforeseen challenges can sometimes develop. If this happens, creative problem-solving and a flexible approach are needed. Our team’s comprehensive understanding of electrical issues enables them to adjust their strategies as needed, minimising disruptions and maintaining the momentum of your project.

If you were to attempt the work yourself, you may struggle to respond effectively when confronted with unexpected obstacles. This can increase the likelihood of going over time and over budget, as well as having an effect on quality.
