Do you check credentials when hiring an electrician in Leeds & Wakefield?

Hi there,

My name is Anthony, and I am the head electrician at AJOB Electrical Ltd, we are based between Leeds and Wakefield and cover all of West Yorkshire.

As an Electrical contractor, AJOB Electrical Ltd are required to ensure all staff are fully qualified, carry public & employers liability insurance and be registered with one of the governing bodies. We are registered with the NICEIC who come and assess our business, premises, tools, procedures and electricians on a yearly basis.

All of the above ensures that whilst we are out and about in Leeds, our customers can be confident that AJOB Electrical Ltd's electrician is going to do a top job that complies with the BS7671 wiring regulations.

It does surprise us however, that when our electricians and estimators are visiting customers, they are rarely being asked for proof of credentials. This may well be down to our professionalism and associations with the NICEIC & Trustmark?

We would urge householders to ALWAYS ask for proof of credentials prior to hiring ANY tradesman, if they are legitimate they will no doubt be proud of their achivements and gladly provide proof. Another good way to vet a prospective electrician is to ask for references from past customers. If they do not seem keen maybe they have something to hide?

When hiring an electrician in Leeds, Wakefield, Halifax, Bradford, Wetherby or anywhere else in the UK for that fact. Check them out, get 3 quotes and don't always base your decision on cost, it is true that you get what you pay for!!

Right better go, we have a rewire in Leeds to finish, stay safe.
