Frequently asked questions
What qualifications do you hold, and why does it matter?
I'm a fully qualified electrician with over 10 years of experience working on domestic properties throughout Barnet and North London. My qualifications include:
18th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) - the current standard for all electrical installations in the UK
2391-52 Inspection and Testing qualification - enabling me to carry out EICRs and certify electrical installations
NVQ Level 3 in Electrical Installation - demonstrating practical competence across all aspects of electrical work
AM2E Assessment - the industry-recognised practical assessment that proves I can design, install, inspect, test, and certify electrical installations to professional standards in a working environment
The AM2E (Achievement Measurement 2 Extended) is considered the gold standard practical assessment for electricians. It's a rigorous, timed examination where I had to demonstrate competence in fault-finding, circuit design, installation work, and full testing and certification procedures.
Passing this assessment proves I have the hands-on skills and knowledge to work safely and competently on your property.
I also have extensive experience with smart lighting systems and LED installations, having worked on hundreds of homes across North London.
Why qualifications matter: Anyone can claim to be an electrician, but only qualified electricians can legally certify their work. If you use an unqualified person, you won't get the necessary certificates for building control, insurance purposes, or when selling your property. More importantly, poor electrical work kills people and causes house fires every year.
When you hire me, you're hiring someone with proper training, insurance, and accountability. All my work is fully certified and complies with current regulations.
