FAQs
Why is electrical safety so important during repairs?
Electricity can cause fires, serious injuries, or even fatalities if handled incorrectly. During repairs we work with live circuits, high currents, and complex wiring that can quickly become hazardous without proper controls. Prioritising safety prevents electric shock, arc-flash, and property damage, keeps everyone on site protected, and ensures the repaired system remains reliable and compliant long after we leave.
What qualifications do Guild electricians hold to ensure safe work?
All of our electricians are fully qualified to City & Guilds NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) and hold the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations certificate (BS 7671). They are also registered with a Part P-approved competent person scheme, undergo regular safety refreshers, and carry up-to-date ECS/CSCS cards so you can be confident they have the knowledge and authority to carry out repairs safely.
How do you comply with local electrical regulations and standards?
Before starting any project we review BS 7671 requirements and any site-specific policies. All work is tested and inspected in line with IET Guidance Notes 3, and we issue the appropriate Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate. Where notifiable, we file the work with Building Control on your behalf, ensuring full compliance with Part P of the Building Regulations.
What on-site safety measures do your technicians follow?
Our team follows a strict Safe System of Work that includes: isolating and locking off circuits; using calibrated test instruments to confirm dead; wearing arc-rated PPE and insulated gloves; maintaining clear, dry work areas; using 110 V tools or residual-current protection where possible; and completing a dynamic risk assessment and toolbox talk before any task begins. We also keep first-aid and fire-fighting equipment close at hand.
Do you provide safety testing or inspections after completing a repair?
Yes. Every repair concludes with dead and live tests—continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, RCD performance, and earth-fault loop impedance—to verify the circuit meets BS 7671 limits. The results are documented on the relevant certificate and provided to you digitally. We can also schedule full Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) if you’d like a wider safety health-check of your premises.
How can homeowners prepare for a safe electrical repair visit?
Before we arrive, please switch off sensitive electronics, clear access to the consumer unit and any affected outlets or fittings, and make sure pets and young children are kept away from the work area. If you know the circuit layout, label breakers to speed up isolation. Let us know about any known faults, previous DIY work, or asbestos-containing materials. These simple steps help us work more safely and efficiently.
