Trusted electricians in Risca
NICEIC‑approved and 4.9★ rated. Same‑day call‑outs and certified work in Risca
It’s easy to think that as long as your lights stay on, your home’s wiring is doing its job perfectly. However, many older properties in Risca are starting to feel the strain of modern life, where simultaneously running an induction hob, several high-power laptops, and an EV charger can put an incredible amount of pressure on aging circuits. That naturally leads to flickering switches or flickering lights that people often just learn to live with, rather than addressing the underlying capacity issues that could eventually lead to more serious faults.
When these things come together, it becomes a matter of safety and efficiency rather than just a minor inconvenience. MJP Electrical focuses on proactive measures like consumer unit upgrades and full rewires to ensure your setup keeps pace with your lifestyle. By working with NICEIC Electricians, you’re ensuring that every connection is verified and every component meets the rigorous standards required for a stable home environment.
It’s really about finding the right balance between immediate repairs and long-term structural improvements to your property’s infrastructure. Whether you need a straightforward EICR to confirm everything is up to code or you are looking toward the future with solar installations, the goal is consistent reliability. From here, the next step is choosing a partner who prioritises tidy workmanship and clear, honest pricing so you can actually understand what is being done to your home.

A: Every electrician hold an ECA card which proves competence and be fully qualified to 18th edition standard.
A: The simple answer is, You CAN’T. It is illegal for any person to sign off work and say he had done the work when he clearly did not. If that person is a fully fledged registered and accredited Electrician or Gas Engineer and he lies about the installation he can pretty much kiss his career goodbye.
A: Whenever an approved electrician completes any form of electrical installation work on your home, a form of certification must be provided.
Whether you’re installing a new oven, an air conditioner or replacing your switchboard or light switches, you will need a safety certificate from your approved electrician.
A: You CAN do electrical work yourself under Part P You do NOT need to get a registered electrician to verify it. For some types of work (notifiable jobs), you need to notify Buildings Control (and pay a fee) . They will then inspect the work at first and second fix.
A: From April 2013 electrical work in a dwelling, or associated with its surroundings, is notifiable to a local building control body where the work includes:
- the installation of a new circuit, whether at low voltage (typically 230 V) or extra-low voltage); or
- the replacement of a consumer unit (fusebox); or
- any alteration or addition to an existing circuit in a special location*, whether at low voltage (typically 230 V) or extra-low voltage
*A special location is a room containing a bath or shower, swimming pool or a sauna heater.
An alteration or addition to an existing circuit in a room containing a bath or shower is notifiable only where carried out in the space surrounding a bath or shower.
An alteration or addition anywhere within a room containing a swimming pool or sauna heater is notifiable.
A: Since 2005, all electrical work in dwellings in England and Wales whether carried out professionally or as DIY, and whether or not the work is notifiable to a building control body (see below), must meet the requirements of Part P of the Building Regulations. In April 2013 the requirements for England were amended.
Compliance with Part P is intended to keep you and your family as safe as possible from electrical hazards.
The requirements of Part P apply to new dwellings and to any alterations or additions to the electrical installations of existing dwellings, including full or partial rewires.
Part P states that anyone carrying out electrical work in a dwelling must ensure that reasonable provision has been made in the design and installation of the electrical installations in order to protect any persons who might use, maintain or alter the electrical installation of that dwelling from fire and injury, including electric shock.
A: By law, the homeowner or landlord must be able to prove that all electrical installation work meets Part P, or they will be committing a criminal offence.
Local authorities have the power to make homeowners or landlords remove or alter any work that does not meet the requirements of the Building Regulations.
A: Things to look for are:
- Approved by a recognised governing body like the NICEIC
- Insured – NCIEC will ensure this
- Qualified – NCIEC will ensure this
- Recommendations
- Communication
- Good Attitude
A: What you do need is to get a registered electrician to verify that what you’ve done is safe apart from some “minor” jobs like changing sockets or moving them a short distance.
What you might find is that a lot of electricians won’t verify your work, so you end up having to get them to do the job.
