What homeowners ask electricians
With what our guides tell them. Answer these in your quote, and later on your listing.
Will I get a certificate, and is the work notified?
If you’re registered with an electrical competent person scheme, you can sign off notifiable work yourself and give the homeowner a certificate that it meets the building regulations, and your listing will show your scheme and number. If you aren’t, your listing says “Not in an electrical scheme: the work is signed off through council building control”, and notifiable work needs a building regulations application before it starts (Welsh Government; Planning Portal). Homeowners read about certificates and notification before they choose.
Who replasters and redecorates?
Making good is a line on the checklist homeowners use for rewires, so say whether your price covers it.
Do you work in Scotland?
Competent person schemes for electrical work cover England and Wales. In Scotland, membership of SELECT, the trade association for electrical contractors there, shows as a badge once we’ve checked it.
Do you fit electric car chargers?
Add Electric car chargers to your trades. Homeowners search for it by name on the map.
What homeowners will ask you to confirm
From the checklist in our house rewire guide:
- Scope: Whole house or part; number of sockets and lights; whether the cooker, shower, immersion heater and boiler supply circuits are renewed.
- Earthing and bonding: Main earthing and bonding to the incoming water and gas pipes, at every level.
- Consumer unit: A new fuse board with RCD protection and surge protection (SPD) at every level; at the Standard level, an RCBO for each circuit.
- Arc fault protection: Whether AFDDs are offered, on which circuits, and the price for each.
- Alarms: Mains-linked smoke and heat alarms (the Standard level).
- Making good: Who replasters and redecorates.
- Certificates: Electrical Installation Certificate and building regulations notification: who notifies, and whether any fee is in the price.
What we’ll check before electricians appear
- Companies House, if you’re a limited company or LLP: we’ll check the company is active.
- Only if you take waste away: Waste carrier registration. The law and the registers
- Who runs the business: an ID check, or a code letter for a company’s director.
Badges you can add (not needed to appear): Electrical competent person scheme, SELECT (Scotland) and TrustMark, and insurance.
Your listing will say, for example: Checked by Estiquote on 30 October 2026:
If you’re a limited company
- Active company at Companies House
If you’re a sole trader
- Sole trader: business details checked by Estiquote
