Often, tradesman shy away from carry out small jobs
They feel it's either not worth their time, or they don't enjoy doing it
Other times, they may take them on only if they are tasked with several other little jobs to make it 'worth their time'
At D.L.R Electrical, we couldn't have a more opposed mindset to the above
Regulation 132.16 of BS7671:2018-Requirements for electrical installations states: No addition or alteration, temporary or permanent, shall be made to an existing installation, unless it has been ascertained that the rating and the condition of any existing equipment, including that of the distributor, will be adequate for the altered circumstances. Furthermore, the earthing and bonding arrangements, if necessary for the protective measure applied for the safety of the addition or alteration, shall be adequate
Id like to pick out a part of this regulation
The NICEIC is the UK’s leading regulatory body for the electrical contracting industry and have been operational for some 60 years. All of their contractors are assessed regularly to make sure that they are competent in their field and adhere to stringent technical and safety standards.
Under their platinum promise, any workmanship is protected for six years, meaning if you are unhappy with any work carried out, you can contact them and they will send an independent tradesman to check the quality of the work and redo if necessary.
Not only does this give you peace of mind from the financial viewpoint, but it promises that the craftsmanship you are paying for is of impeccable standard.
