How to Choose a Reliable Electrician in Wrexham

When something goes wrong with your electrics, the last thing you want is to spend hours searching for a trustworthy electrician in Wrexham. Whether it's a tripped fuse, a full rewire, or a landlord safety inspection, choosing the right electrician is essential for both safety and peace of mind.

Here's what to look for when hiring an electrician in Wrexham and the surrounding areas.

1. Check They Are Registered

The most important thing to check is whether your electrician is registered with a competent person scheme such as NAPIT or NICEIC. This means they are qualified to self-certify their work with building control — without needing a separate inspection. Electrabuild is NAPIT registered and JIB Gold approved, so all our work is fully certified and compliant with current regulations.

2. Ask About Certification

Any significant electrical work — including consumer unit upgrades, full rewires, and new circuits — must be certified under Part P of the Building Regulations. A reputable Wrexham electrician will always issue the relevant certificates: an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) for new work, or an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for inspection work. Never accept uncertified work, particularly if you are a landlord or plan to sell your property.

3. Look for Local Experience

A locally based electrician in Wrexham will be familiar with the types of properties in the area — from older terraced housing in the town centre to newer builds in surrounding villages. Local knowledge matters. Electrabuild is based in Wrexham and serves homeowners, landlords, and businesses across North Wales and the border counties.

4. Read Reviews and Ask for References

Genuine customer reviews on Google or Checkatrade give you real insight into how an electrician works. Look for comments about punctuality, tidiness, communication, and whether the work was completed on budget and on time.

5. Get a Clear, Written Quote

A trustworthy electrician will provide a clear written quote before starting work. Be wary of tradespeople who quote verbally and then add charges afterwards. At Electrabuild, we offer transparent, no-surprise pricing on all jobs.
