Do all electricians have to be NICEIC registered?
There's nothing in law which states that your electrician needs to be NICEIC registered. However, just as you might not employ a builder without a CSCS card, you would think twice about hiring an electrician without NICEIC certification.
How long is a NICEIC certificate valid for?
What does a NICEIC certificate cover?
NICEIC Certification is a brand of Certsure LLP, a leading Certification body accredited by UKAS. Since 1998, NICEIC Certification has provided industry-recognised assessments to the building services sector, including plumbing and heating engineers.
How do you check if someone is a registered electrician?
Most qualified electricians should have their NICEIC certification displayed on their website, van or business card. However, you should always ask for proof of certification just to be sure. If they are unable to provide you with proof, then you can report them to the NICEIC.
