Why Choose Veteran Electrics?

Transparent Pricing

My Fees are clear, set in advance and never hidden.

Respect

Having anyone come into your home or commercial space can be challenging. I always aim to be polite, on time and professional. I believe in tidying as I go and treating your home or premises as if it were my own.

Military Precision

I am a currently serving Commissioned Officer in the RAF Regiment with nearly 8 years experience including on named Operations both within the UK and Overseas. Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence are at the forefront of everything I do. I currently work part time as an electrician whilst serving as a Regular.

Emergency Electrical Callouts

£200 Call Out Fee

This covers the first two hours of labour.

20 Mile Radius

The standard call out fee is limited to a 20 mile radius from IP14 4FG. Additional mileage thereafter is £5 per mile.

Restore Power

The priority on an emergency call out is the safe restoration of power and functionality where possible & the identification of the fault.

Follow Up Visit

If a follow up visit is required to rectify the fault for a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix this is charged at the standard rate.

Transparent Pricing

I am never the cheapest quote, but my work reflects this. All my work is covered by my Public Liability Insurance (£1 Million) and Professional Indemnity Insurance (£500,000). For the majority of works I quote a set fee rather than by the hour. For faults I charge a call out fee and then by the hour.

Routine Works:

  • First Hour Of Labour- £120.
  • Hourly Rate – £60
  • Day Rate – £450

Emergency Works:

  • First Two Hours Of Labour – £200 (Emergency Call-Out)
  • Emergency Hourly Rate -£80
  • Mileage Rate – £5 per mile (If over 20 miles from IP14 4FG)

Current Qualifications

I can undertake almost any domestic or commercial electrical works. If I am not qualified or competent to carry out any work requested, I will decline the work and explain why. I currently hold the following qualifications (EAL/LCL):

  • Level 3 Award in Building Regulations for Electrical Installations in Dwellings.
  • Level 3 Award in Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018 (2022 Amendment).
  • Level 3 Award in the In-Service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment (PAT).
  • Level 3 Award in the Periodic Inspection, Testing and Certification of Electrical Installations.
  • Level 3 Award in Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations.
  • Level 2 Award in Fundamental Inspection, Testing and Initial Verification.
  • LCL Domestic Electrical Installer

Currently Upskilling

I deliver only the highest quality of work by continually upskilling rather than just meeting minimum legal competencies. I am currently studying the following additional qualifications:

  • Level 3 Certificate in Installing, Testing and Ensuring Compliance of Electrical Installation in Dwellings (Qualified Supervisor Qualification)
  • Level 3 Award in the Requirements for the Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Points
  • Level 4 Award in the Design and Verification of Electrical Installations
