About Our Licensed Electrician Service in Dunwich
There is no electrician's licence in the UK. No government body issues one, and for most electrical work it is not illegal for an unqualified person to pick up the tools. What actually exists is registration with a competent person scheme, and that is what people mean when they search for a licensed electrician.
The government-authorised schemes for domestic electrical installation are BESCA, Blue Flame Certification, Certsure, NAPIT and OFTEC. Registration involves an assessment of qualifications and periodic inspection of completed work, renewed annually. A registered electrician self-certifies notifiable work under Part P and notifies building control afterwards, so you avoid a separate building control application and its fee.
Norspark is NAPIT registered under membership number 69983, which you can look up on the NAPIT register yourself. Our electricians are qualified to BS 7671, and we carry full public liability insurance. Two things are worth checking on any quote you receive, ours included: ask to see the scheme card and check the expiry date, then ask which work types the registration covers, because scope varies from one registration to the next. NAPIT assess our work on site, not just our paperwork, and registration has to be renewed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it illegal to use an unlicensed electrician?
There is no licence to lack, so the question does not quite work. For notifiable work in a home the route does matter: either building control is told in advance and inspects, or a scheme-registered electrician certifies and notifies. Notifiable work done by neither route leaves the homeowner exposed, and it is the homeowner or landlord who commits the offence.
What is the difference between an ECS card and scheme registration?
An ECS card is photo ID for the individual, issued through the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme, proving qualifications and health and safety awareness. Most construction sites will not let you past the gate without one. It is a competence card, not a licence. Scheme registration under Part P applies to the business and covers certification and notification of the work.
How do I check an electrician is genuinely registered?
Search the electrical competent person register, or the scheme's own register, by business name or registration number. Then ask to see the card and check the expiry date. Registration is scoped, so ask which work types it covers rather than assuming it covers everything. Ours is NAPIT 69983, which you can search on the NAPIT register. They assess the work on site rather than just the paperwork, and registration has to be renewed, so it is worth asking any electrician for theirs
What qualifications should an electrician hold?
For installation work, an electrotechnical route such as City & Guilds 2365 or 5357 with the AM2 practical assessment, plus C&G 2382 for the current edition of BS 7671. Anyone issuing an EICR should hold C&G 2391 or an equivalent inspection and testing qualification. Registration with a scheme like NAPIT means the work gets assessed on site against the current edition of BS 7671, which is a stronger signal than a certificate on a wall
