Ensure You Avoid Wasting Your Funds!

It is crucial to be aware that most Local Councils, Housing Associations, Estate Agents, or Managing Agents will exclusively accept Electrical Certificates endorsed by fully qualified and registered engineers. Furthermore, in the event of an electrical shock or any untoward incident, your insurance coverage may be deemed invalid without a valid electrical certificate. To safeguard your finances and minimize risks, kindly follow the subsequent guidelines:

1. NICEIC, ELECSA, or NAPIT

Verify whether the electrician you engage is Registered with a regulatory body such as NICEIC, ELECSA, or NAPIT.

2. Valid EICRs

Only Approved Contractors are authorized to issue electrical certificates (EICRs), not Domestic Installers. Therefore, ensure that the electrician you choose is registered with the appropriate scheme.

3. Insurance Coverage

 Confirm that they possess comprehensive insurance coverage from a registered body. Remember, only registered electricians can acquire such insurance.

4. Beware of Unverified Green Papers

Be cautious of off-the-shelf Green Papers, as they can be utilized by anyone without verification.

Consider the following during inspections:



  • Adequacy of earthing and bonding
  • Suitability of switchgear and controlgear (e.g., replace old fusebox with wooden back, cast-iron switches, or mixed components)
  • Serviceability of switches, sockets, and lighting fittings (replace older round-pin sockets, round light switches, fabric-coated cables, black switches and sockets in skirting boards)
  • Presence of proper identification and notices
  • Type and condition of wiring system (replace black rubber-coated cables phased out in the 1960s, as well as lead or fabric-coated cables)
  • Ensure presence of a fusebox with a suitable residual current device (RCD)
  • Assess wear and tear, damage, or deterioration
  • Identify any changes in premises usage that may result in unsafe conditions
