What we check
Photo ID and current public liability insurance. Electricians must belong to a competent person scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT so they can self-certify work under Part P of the Building Regulations. We check the registration.
We hide a trade from new jobs automatically the day their insurance runs out.
Three steps. You stay in control.
- Tell us the job and your postcode. We text you to confirm it's real.
- Up to three checked local electricians buy the job and call you with quotes. Then the job closes. No more calls.
- Compare quotes against the typical costs above and hire who you like, or nobody.
Electricians: straight answers
How much is a new fuse box?
A new consumer unit typically costs £550 to £1,000 in Leeds in 2026. A full RCBO board, extra circuits or surge protection push it to the top of that range.
Do I need an EICR?
Landlords in England need one at least every 5 years. Homeowners often get one before buying or after finding old wiring.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes. Notifiable work should come with an Electrical Installation Certificate and Building Regulations compliance from the scheme.
Is Done Right free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay Done Right. Trades pay a small fee to receive your job, and no more than three can buy it.
