Lighting and plug points

Request light fitting installation, replacements or additional plug points. Include the number of fittings and their intended locations.

Distribution boards and upgrades

Describe the work you are planning and any changes to your property's electrical needs. The electrician should assess the installation before confirming the work.

Before you book

Can I request urgent electrical help?

Yes. State the urgency in your request. CID will need to confirm provider availability and timing; submitting an enquiry is not a confirmed emergency booking.

Can I request an electrical certificate of compliance?

You can include an inspection or certification enquiry in your request. The work, provider authorisation and any remedial requirements must be confirmed before a certificate can be promised.

Will the electrician quote before starting?

Ask for the assessment or call-out charge and the proposed scope before the visit. Some faults need an inspection before repair costs can be confirmed.
