The Service
What Is Electrical Certification?
Electrical certification covers issuing the correct certificate for electrical work — an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) for new circuits and major work, a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) for small alterations, and Building Control notification for notifiable work.
The certificate confirms the work was carried out, tested and verified as safe and compliant. Different work needs different paperwork, and getting the right one matters for selling a property, insurance and legal compliance.

Why It Matters
Why Professional Electrical Work Matters
The right certificate proves electrical work was done safely and legally. Missing or wrong paperwork can hold up a property sale, void insurance or fail a compliance check.
Notifiable work done without certification puts the homeowner in a difficult position later. Issuing the correct certificate, and notifying Building Control where required, keeps the work fully compliant.
