An electrician handles the electrical wiring, sockets, switches, lighting circuits, consumer units (fuse boards) and earthing in a property. They diagnose faults, fit new circuits, certify safety, and install EV chargers and solar PV systems.
Common jobs: Adding sockets or moving them; Replacing a consumer unit / fuse board; Diagnosing why something keeps tripping; Wiring a new room or extension; EV charger install; Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR); Rewiring an older property.
Changing a light bulb or replacing a like-for-like ceiling fitting in a dry area is fine. Wiring, new circuits, or anything in a bathroom needs a registered electrician — both for safety and for legal certificate purposes.
If you're not sure where the line is, the hiring guide walks through what to ask, how to vet quotes, and when to walk away.

FAQ
We score every published business on a combination of average customer rating and total review count, filtered through a 4.5★ minimum. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star electrician with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.
Every quarter. If a business drops below 4.5★ or shuts down, they're removed and the next-best Paisley electrician moves up. Badges already earned remain valid — winning a 2026 Top 5 award doesn't get retroactively revoked.
