My Local Electrician recently asked the question: What should be done to reduce unsafe electrical works carried out by non-competent people?
49% of electricians voted on the introduction of a UK electricians work card. 18% believe the government/local authority should do more, joint 15% voted for heavier penalties and making Part P more straight forward.
One comment to the poll states: “Most of us like to think we are getting a bargain, just think about it, we all ask for the “best price” when buying a car, kitchen even my last drill I bought I wanted discount. Its no different for home owners. They want the best possible price without realising that reputable electricians (and other trades) will take there time, be diligent, use quality materials, do the job properly and usually make a nice neat job.”
