Trades in SwanseaSockets, lights & fuseboards

An electrician in Swansea, quoted in the app

New sockets in the kitchen, a light that flickers, a fuse board that keeps tripping, an EV charger on the drive. Tell the app what you need, add a photo of your fuse board with its lid open, and electricians quote with a price, what's included and when they can start.

You post the job from the Handled app.

The home screen: "Hi there", "What needs doing?", a "Describe the job" box, and "Or pick a trade" with a "List view" button and tiles for Plumber, Electrician, Cleaner, Exterior cleaner, Handyman and Gardener.

Questions

Questions about electrical jobs

Why does the app ask for a photo of my fuse board?

It shows the electrician what's installed before they quote. Open the fuse board's lid and take the photo — don't undo any screws or take off the inner cover.

My electrics keep tripping. What do I choose?

Fault finding. The app then asks whether circuits keep tripping, some rooms have power and others don't, or there's buzzing or a burning smell, and roughly how old the property is, so the electrician knows what wiring to expect.

Can I get an EICR for a house I rent out?

Yes. Choose EICR or landlord certificate and say what it's for — a landlord certificate, buying or selling, insurance, or a general check. The electrician quotes for the inspection and the report.

Can I get an EV charger fitted?

Choose EV charger and say where it's going — inside the house, a garage or outbuilding, or outdoors. A photo of the spot and one of your fuse board let the electrician see how far apart they are before quoting.

Can a rewire be done in stages?

Choose Rewire and say whether it's the whole house or part of it. An electrician can quote a rewire in stages. You pay for each stage in the app and approve it when it's done; the electrician is paid for that stage when you do.
