Web design for electricians in the UK

There's no legal licence or protected title for electricians, but the law still requires competence for electrical work (Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, reg. 16). In England and Wales, registration with a competent person scheme lets you self-certify notifiable work in homes instead of going through building control, and it is what customers can check.

Under the Building Regulations 2010 (reg. 12(6A)): installing a new circuit, replacing a consumer unit, and any addition or alteration to existing circuits in a special location, such as the space around a bath or shower, or a room with a swimming pool or sauna heater. Wales has a wider rule, with only a short list of exempt work.

For electrical work in homes, the competent person schemes listed in the Building Regulations are NICEIC (run by Certsure), NAPIT, Blue Flame and OFTEC. ELECSA and Stroma no longer run schemes for this work, so an old logo from either should come off your website.

Not in itself: it's a non-statutory standard, but the HSE says following it is likely to achieve compliance with the relevant parts of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and the rented-home rules refer to it directly. The current version is BS 7671:2018 with Amendment 4, published in April 2026; Amendment 3 remains usable until about mid-October 2026.

In England, at least every 5 years, carried out by a qualified and competent person, and since 2025–26 the rule covers social housing too. Wales requires an electrical condition report at least every 5 years, and Scotland an inspection before the tenancy starts and at most 5 years apart.

Only as an OZEV-authorised installer. There are two grants of up to £500: one for flat owners and renters with private off-street parking, and one for homes with on-street parking, using a cross-pavement solution. This is their final year: they end on 31 March 2027. Home chargers sold in Great Britain must also meet the smart charge point regulations.

Solar PV on a roof is electrical work covered by Part P. In England it is usually notifiable, as it normally needs a new circuit, and in Wales it always is; microgeneration installers can self-certify through their own schemes. Installing solar panels and batteries in homes is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027.

Not for the urgent repair itself: the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (reg. 28) exclude contracts where the customer specifically asked you to visit to carry out urgent repairs or maintenance. The 14-day cancellation right still applies to extra work you agree during that visit, and to goods other than the replacement parts you necessarily used.

Yes, if they are genuine and you are entitled to them. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, in force since 6 April 2025, showing a trust mark or quality mark without authorisation, claiming an approval you don't have, posting or buying fake reviews and hiding negative reviews while publishing positive ones are all banned outright. After an investigation, the CMA can fine up to £300,000 or 10% of worldwide turnover, whichever is higher.
