Certified Electricians in London: Why Choosing an NICEIC Approved Electrician Matters

If you're looking for a reliable electrician in London, Certified Electricians London is proud to be one of the most reputable in the capital.

With over a decade in the business and hundreds of five-star reviews, our local team has built a reputation for honesty, professionalism and first-class workmanship. But there’s one factor that sets them apart from the competition, and it’s a big one: we’re fully NICEIC approved.

In an industry that’s increasingly flooded with unqualified tradespeople and false claims, choosing a certified electrician in London makes all the difference. But if you’re not familiar with this accreditation, what exactly does it mean?

What is an NICEIC Approved Electrician?

The NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) is the UK’s leading certification body for electrical contractors. To become an NICEIC Approved Contractor, electricians must pass rigorous assessments, hold up-to-date qualifications, meet current British Standards (BS 7671), and prove their work is safe, compliant, and high quality.

At Certified Electricians London, Director David Smallwood, a qualified NICEIC electrician with over 20 years of experience, leads a team of fully vetted, CRB-checked professionals. Every job is carried out to the highest standard and fully insured, with certification provided where required.

Why Certification Matters in London

The electrical industry in London has a serious problem: the rise of unqualified and rogue contractors. It’s not uncommon to find builders or handymen offering to install wiring, sockets or lighting as part of a broader service, without the proper training or qualifications.

Electrical work gone wrong isn’t just inconvenient, it’s dangerous. In many cases, these installations not only fail to meet legal requirements but also put property and lives at risk. Fires, electric shocks, and invalidated insurance policies are all possible consequences of poor electrical work. It’s never worth taking the risk. 

Choosing an NICEIC electrician in London means you get peace of mind. You’re hiring someone who’s qualified, accountable, and backed by a national governing body. If something goes wrong, the NICEIC has a resolution process in place to protect consumers.
