McLean Electrical is a registered, approved electrical contractor, insured for Public Liability and Professional Indemnity.

Note: Competent persons should only be used to carry out electrical work on properties; by definition, competence means that they are experienced, and at least have the City and Guilds qualification for the latest edition of BS 7671: 2008, with Amendment 1 to January 2012; and have Public Liability insurance as a minimum. Professional indemnity insurance is also required where inspection and test reports are carried out, e.g. E.I.C.R.'s and Portable Appliance Testing, aka PAT. Ask for proof of qualifications and insurance, companies won't pay out for insurance claims where an uninsured person has carried out the work, you would then carry the risk and also leave yourself open to prosecution. Selecting a registered electrician or company, is the best way to ensure competency for you and your family's safety; but they can't compete with the cheap rates of those who call themselves electricians. If it works, doesn't mean it's safe!

A conscientious electrician will always issue a Minor Works Electrical Certificate or Electrical Installation Certificate for work, no matter how small, e.g. changing a socket outlet; to prove that the work has been inspected, tested and recorded, in conformance with the standard forms to BS 7671 for the wiring of premises. Complain if a certificate is not forthcoming, it's a record for your safety and other reasons.
