Hiring an electrician in Reading
Whether you are in central Reading or nearby Basingstoke, High Wycombe and Slough, TradrLink lets you compare local electricians side by side. Each profile shows photos of completed jobs, the services on offer and reviews from real customers, so you can shortlist two or three electricians in Berkshire and ask each one for a free written quote before you decide.
Services on offer
Local electricians carry out full house rewires, consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades, additional socket and lighting circuits, electric vehicle charger installation, bathroom electrical work, and fault finding. Many also provide Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) for landlords and homebuyers.
Qualifications and accreditations to look for
Part P of the Building Regulations requires that most domestic electrical work is either notified to the local authority or carried out by a registered competent person. Electricians registered with NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA can self-certify their own work - always ask to see their registration certificate and ensure they issue you a Minor Works Certificate or Electrical Installation Certificate on completion.
