About Our Electrical Contractors Service in Martlesham
An electrician is a trade. An electrical contractor is the business that holds the contract, carries the insurance, produces the paperwork and takes the programme risk. Same hands on the tools, different question being asked.
Contract work runs differently from a callout. It is priced from drawings and a specification rather than a description over the phone. First fix has to land in step with the carpenter and the plasterer, second fix after decoration. Risk assessments and method statements go in before anyone sets foot on site. At the end the client gets Electrical Installation Certificates, schedules of test results and circuit charts for the compliance file, which is the part most often missing when we pick up someone else's installation.
Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, where a principal contractor is appointed we work to their construction phase plan. Where we are the only contractor on the job, that plan is ours to write, and HSE expects it to be proportionate to the size and scale of the work.
Our electricians are qualified to BS 7671 and we carry full public liability insurance. Quotes are free and carry no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an electrician and an electrical contractor?
There is no legal difference, but the trade uses the words differently. Electrician is the trade and the person. Contractor is the business that holds the contract, carries the insurance, supplies risk assessments and method statements, and takes on programme risk. A small business can legitimately be both.
Are you a licensed electrical contractor?
No such licence exists in the UK. There is no electrical licence to hold, and anyone can legally trade under the title. What does exist is registration with a government-authorised competent person scheme. We are NAPIT registered, which is what allows notifiable domestic work to be self-certified under Part P. The useful question to ask any contractor is which scheme they are on and what scope it covers.
Who writes the construction phase plan?
Under CDM 2015, if a principal contractor has been appointed, they write it and we work to it. If we are the only contractor on the job, we draw it up ourselves before work starts. HSE says a simple plan is usually enough on a small job, as long as it is proportionate to the size and scale of the work.
What do you need from us before starting on our site?
Drawings and a specification if the work is being priced rather than surveyed, plus site rules, access and permit arrangements, and the programme dates you need first fix and second fix to hit. We supply insurance certificates and RAMS in return.
