Electrician in Hampshire: Homeowners vs renters

Homeowners

You’re responsible for the electrical wiring and safety of your home. If the work involves new circuits or is in a kitchen/bathroom, it may need to comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. Ask for certification after the work is complete.

Renters

Electrical issues should be reported to your landlord or letting agent. They are legally responsible for ensuring the electrical installation is safe and up to standard. Don’t attempt DIY fixes.

Emergency electrician in Hampshire

When lights go out or sparks start flying, you need help fast. For genuine emergencies, like power outages, burning smells from sockets, faulty fuse boxes or RCDs, and exposed wires, find an emergency electrician in Hampshire who can respond outside normal hours.
