What the badges actually mean
The accreditations that matter for electricians, in plain English.
NICEIC approved contractor
Electrical work assessed annually against BS 7671. Lets the firm self-certify notifiable work under Part P instead of paying building control.
NAPIT registered
The other main Part P competent-person scheme alongside NICEIC. Equivalent standing, different assessor.
TrustMark registered
The only government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home. Covers trading standards as well as technical competence.
Which? Trusted Traders
Assessed by Which? on customer service and business practice, including a credit check and reference calls.
Before you get quotes

Electricians: common questions
What is Part P and why does it matter?
Part P of the building regulations makes most domestic electrical work notifiable to building control. An electrician registered with NICEIC or NAPIT can self-certify it. An unregistered one cannot, so you pay the council a separate fee, typically £200 to £400.
How do I know if my house needs a rewire?
Rubber, lead or fabric-sheathed cable, a fuse box with rewireable fuses, or no RCD protection all point to it. An EICR will tell you definitively and costs far less than guessing.
