From quote to completion
Peter personally assesses your requirements, provides your quotation and completes the work, so you always deal directly with the electrician carrying out the job.
Yes. Sinnett Electrical is registered as an NICEIC Domestic Installer and Approved Contractor.
NICEIC registration provides reassurance that the business is regularly assessed and works to recognised electrical safety standards. Relevant work is inspected, tested and documented where required.
That depends on the type of work completed. New circuits and certain larger installations may require an Electrical Installation Certificate, while some alterations and additions may receive a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate.
An electrical inspection produces an Electrical Installation Condition Report rather than an installation certificate.
Peter will explain which document applies to your job and provide the relevant certification or report where required.
Sinnett Electrical is a local sole-trader business, so you deal directly with Peter rather than a salesperson or a changing team of contractors.
Peter discusses your requirements, visits the property where an assessment is needed, provides the quotation and personally completes the installation, testing and certification.
This gives you one consistent point of contact throughout the job.
Yes. Smaller jobs such as replacing damaged sockets and switches, adding power outlets, installing new lights and investigating tripping circuits are welcome.
Several smaller tasks can often be discussed together.
When enquiring, send your postcode, a brief list of what needs doing and photographs where useful.
Peter can then advise whether a property visit is required before providing a quotation.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the condition and safety of a property’s fixed electrical installation.
This includes wiring, circuits, socket outlets, light fittings, the consumer unit and permanently connected equipment.
The inspection can identify deterioration, damage, unsuitable alterations, inadequate earthing or bonding and potential electric-shock or fire risks.
It does not involve testing every portable appliance plugged into the property.
Not necessarily. An installation does not become unsafe simply because a newer version of the regulations has been published, and the age of a consumer unit alone does not establish whether replacement is necessary.
Peter can assess its condition, the protection it provides and whether there are signs of damage, deterioration or unsuitable alterations.
If an upgrade is recommended, he will explain the practical safety reasons rather than assuming every older unit needs replacing.
An EICR examines the property’s fixed electrical installation – the wiring, consumer unit, circuits, sockets and other permanently connected electrical equipment.
PAT testing concerns electrical appliances and equipment, generally items connected to the supply through a plug.
It may include a visual inspection and electrical tests, with the results recorded to help demonstrate that the equipment is being appropriately maintained.
The property must normally have suitable off-road parking and a practical cable route to the proposed charging position.
Peter will also consider the incoming electrical supply, earthing arrangements, consumer-unit capacity, circuit protection and any other installation requirements.
A preliminary assessment helps establish whether additional work is needed before the charger can be installed.
Sinnett Electrical can provide supply-and-install or installation-only options and has experience with Pod Point and other charger systems.
