MB Electrical is NICEIC Approved for both domestic and commercial work. We are fully Part P certified, qualified to the 18th Edition of BS 7671 wiring regulations, and carry comprehensive public liability and professional indemnity insurance.

For most jobs, just make sure we can access the areas we need to work in — clear furniture away from walls where sockets or switches are being fitted, and ensure the consumer unit is accessible. For larger jobs like rewires, we will discuss preparation in detail before we start.

It depends on the scope. A socket or light fitting can be done in under an hour. A consumer unit upgrade takes half a day. A full house rewire for a 3-bed property typically takes 5 to 7 working days. We will always give you a clear timeline before starting.

Yes. All notifiable work is certified and registered with Building Control through NICEIC. You will receive the appropriate electrical installation certificate or minor works certificate for every job. These are essential for insurance, property sales, and your own records.

We accept bank transfer, debit and credit cards, and cash. Payment is due on completion of the work unless we have agreed a staged payment plan for larger projects. We never ask for full payment upfront.

Yes. We provide the full range of electrical services for homes, offices, retail units, restaurants, warehouses, and industrial premises. Whether you need a single socket fitted at home or a full commercial fit-out, we have the experience and qualifications to handle it.

Absolutely. We offer flexible scheduling including evenings and weekends for domestic customers. For commercial work, we routinely carry out installations outside of business hours to minimise disruption to your operations.

Yes. All our work is guaranteed and backed by NICEIC's Platinum Promise, which provides additional consumer protection. If you have any concerns after a job is completed, we will come back and put it right.

For smaller jobs, we can often fit you in within a few days. For planned work like rewires or consumer unit upgrades, we typically book 1 to 2 weeks ahead. Emergency callouts are attended the same day. Being based in Bishopston means we can respond quickly across Bristol.
