Tell us about your job when you get in touch and we will confirm the details before quoting.

• How do I get a quote?

  Getting a quote from IE Electricals starts with a call or an enquiry describing the job. We confirm the scope, by phone or a visit depending on the work, and give you a written quote before anything is booked in. No quote is given without the scope being confirmed first.

• What happens during the initial visit?

  On the initial visit, an IE Electricals electrician looks at the job in person, checks the existing wiring or installation where relevant, and confirms what the work involves. This forms the basis of the written quote. For testing or certificate work, the visit is when the inspection itself takes place.

• Will I be given a certificate for the work carried out?

  Certificates are issued depending on the work carried out by IE Electricals. New circuits, consumer unit changes and rewires receive an EIC, small additions to an existing circuit receive a Minor Works Certificate, and testing produces an EICR. Not every job is certifiable, but where it is, you receive the correct certificate.

• How do I know if my job is notifiable?

  Notifiable work under Part P typically includes new circuits, a new consumer unit and new fixed wiring in a bathroom or similar location. Like for like replacements and extending an existing circuit are usually non notifiable, though they still need to meet BS 7671. Tell IE Electricals what the job involves and we will confirm.

• What standards does the work follow?

  IE Electricals carries out all electrical work in line with BS 7671, the current UK wiring regulations standard. Notifiable work is certified through a competent person scheme or through building control, and the correct certificate, EIC, Minor Works or EICR, is issued for work that requires one.

• How do I book an electrician?

  Booking a job with IE Electricals starts with a call or an enquiry describing the work needed. Once the scope is confirmed and a written quote given, a date is arranged for the visit. Call 07427 293958 or send an enquiry with your details to get started.

• What information should I include when I send an enquiry?

  An enquiry to IE Electricals should include your name, a contact number, the address or area of the job, the service you think you need, and a short description of the work. The more detail you include, the more accurate the initial response and any written quote that follows.

• Do you work on older properties as well as new builds?

  IE Electricals works on properties of every age, from older housing with dated wiring to new builds. Older properties are more likely to need a consumer unit upgrade or rewiring, while new builds are more likely to need additional circuits or fault finding. Tell us the property's age when you enquire.
