Very fast to respond to our call, arrived and fitted a new switch less than two hours later. Very pleasant chap, he explained all steps and kept us informed of our options rather than deciding for us.
So impressed with their service we’re going to use this business for four outdoor lights we’d like to get fitted.

Frequently asked questions
In the UK, it is not a legal requirement to have an EICR unless you are a landlord. If you are a landlord, you will need to do an EICR every 5 years if tenancy does not change. This is because an EICR can identify any potential problems with your electrical installation and help to prevent them from becoming dangerous or causing a fire.
Whenever a property changes tenancy a new EICR certificate is required. Typically, if tenancy does not change, an EICR certificate lasts 5 years but it depends on the wiring condition of the property and the engineer present can issue a shorter duration certificate instead If they deem the wiring of the property to be in a bad state.
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a test that checks the safety of an electrical installation. It’s not something that can be done by just any electrician – it needs to be carried out by someone who is qualified to do so.This is because it’s a very specialised area and if something isn’t done correctly, it could result in a serious accident. To check if the electrician you are hiring is qualified, you can use the government’s competent person scheme which is a scheme that lets you check the accreditation of a company.
So, if you’re thinking of having an EICR carried out, make sure you choose someone who is qualified and experienced in this field like Ideal Electricians.
As of April 2021, every time the tenancy of a property changes, the landlord is required by law to carry out an EICR and make sure the EICR has been passed before the tenant moves in.This paperwork will help to ensure safety for those living in the property.
The landlord might face a fine of up to £30,000 for each breach. The local authority has been monitoring landowners carefully as to maintain the safety of tenants.If the EICR is not completed when required (due perhaps to an oversight), then it could ultimately cost you more money than needed.
