Electrical repairs by NICEIC verified electricians.

Electrical work in the UK isn't just about skill — it's about certification. Under Part P of the Building Regulations, any notifiable electrical work must be carried out by a competent person registered with a government-approved scheme such as NICEIC, NAPIT, or ELECSA. EzeAla verifies every electrician's registration before they can accept jobs on the platform.

**What notifiable electrical work means for you**

Notifiable work includes: installing a new circuit, replacing a consumer unit (fuse board), doing any electrical work in a bathroom or kitchen, installing outdoor wiring, or adding solar panels or EV charging. If your electrician isn't registered, the work can't be self-certified — meaning you'd need separate building control approval, adding weeks and cost.

On EzeAla, every electrician quote includes confirmation of their certification scheme, registration number, and insurance. The EICR or completion certificate is issued directly to your account.

**EICR for landlords**

Since April 2021, all private landlords in England must have a valid EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) for their rental properties, renewed every 5 years. Failure to comply carries fines of up to £30,000 per property.

EzeAla tracks EICR expiry dates for every property in your portfolio. We send reminders at 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days before expiry. You can book a certified electrician directly from the compliance dashboard — the EICR is uploaded to your account automatically on completion.

**EV charger installation**

The UK has seen a 300% increase in home EV charger installations since 2022. EzeAla's electricians are OZEV-approved (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles), which is a requirement for the EV chargepoint grant scheme. A typical 7kW home wallbox installation costs £600–£1,200 depending on your property's electrical setup.

**Emergency electrical response**

Electrical emergencies — a total loss of power, sparking outlets, burning smells from a fuse board — require immediate response. EzeAla's emergency dispatch routes the job to all available electricians in your area simultaneously. Do not attempt to work on live wiring yourself. If you see sparks, smoke, or flames, call 999.
