    An electrical contractor is a tradesperson or business that designs, installs and maintains electrical systems for homes and businesses.

    For example, electrical contractors often work in residential properties, offices, shops, industrial facilities, government facilities, and data centres.

    Electrical contractors perform standard electrical services for residential properties. But they can also provide complex electrical services for numerous facilities.

    Projects can involve high-voltage systems, extensive electrical systems, and complex machinery.

    Due to their additional training, electrical contractors can work on both residential and commercial properties.

    In contrast, electricians are tradespeople who install and maintain electrical systems only in residential properties.

    • Light fittings and switches
    • Indoor and outdoor lighting

  • Are electrical contractors licensed in the UK?

    Although not a legal requirement, choosing an insured and registered electrical contractor is always best.

    However, electrical contractors may need an Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) card to prove their qualifications.

    You can also look for an electrical contractor registered with the NICEIC. The NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) regularly assesses registered tradespeople to ensure the safety of all electrical work.

  • How do electrical contractors charge for their services?

    The amount an electrical contractor in Plymouth charges for their services depends on the type and complexity of the job.

    They may charge a call-out fee for standard installations, repairs, or emergencies.

    Electrical contractor rates in Plymouth include:

  • How much do electricians charge per hour in Plymouth?

    Electrical contractors in Plymouth might charge per hour for some projects.

    You can expect to pay;

    • Between £45 - £60 per hour
    • On average, £400 per day
    • £80 - £100 for emergency call-outs

    When hiring electrical contractors in Plymouth, always ask for a detailed written quote that includes materials, labour and VAT.

  • How can I verify an electrical contractor's license?

    You can search the Checkatrade directory for our member's qualifications and accreditations.

    Another option is to check the Registered Competent Person Website to find registered electrical contractors in Plymouth.

    You can also check with accreditation bodies such as the ECA or NICEIC to ensure your electrical contractor is qualified.

  • Do electrical contractors handle emergency services?

    Yes, electrical contractors in Plymouth can offer 24/7 emergency response.

    Because electrical contractors are often made up of a company of electricians, they can generally provide an emergency response for those out-of-hours problems.

    For unexpected events like power outages, keep an electrical contractor’s name and phone number handy.

  • Do electrical contractors offer warranties or guarantees on their work?

    Yes, most electrical contractors in Plymouth will provide a warranty for parts and labour.

    But you should check if there’s a limited guarantee or a window of time to report issues. You can ask for this information in writing before work begins.

    Book through Checkatrade for extra peace of mind. Even if your electrical contractor doesn’t provide a guarantee, we do. You can get a 12-month guarantee of up to £1000. Eligibility criteria and T&Cs apply.

    If you’re unsure whether you need a permit for electrical work, an electrical contractor can help.

    In the UK, small electrical jobs don’t require a permit or planning permission. For example, you won't need paperwork to replace a light switch, install a new light fitting, or rewire a home.

    However, the work must comply with building regulations, so it is a good idea to choose qualified electrical contractors in Plymouth.

    Always inform your local authority before arranging any electrical work for listed buildings.
