For home-service pros

Get electrician leads in the UK

Electrical requests name the job up front: something not working, lighting, outlets, a panel upgrade, an EV charger, wiring, a generator or solar, or an inspection. For repairs, wiring and panel work, homeowners are asked about sparks, burning smells or lost power, so safety calls stand out from planned upgrades.

What a electrician lead shows you

Every {lower} request answers these questions before it reaches you. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer calls for them.

The age of the home is asked for panel, wiring, inspection and repair jobs, which tells you whether you may be dealing with older wiring before you arrive. Permit and inspection rules for electrical work are set regionally rather than nationally; the notes below summarize what our permit guides say and link to the official sources.

The guide homeowners get on this site

We publish a electrician guide for homeowners. It is written for them, not for us, and its headings are a fair list of what someone who has read it will ask you about.

Read the electrician guide

What the guide covers

  • Part P, notifiable work and competent person schemes
  • Electrical certificates and reports: EIC, Minor Works and the EICR
  • Signs an older electrical installation needs attention
  • What happens during an EICR inspection
  • Landlords in England: an EICR at least every five years
  • Why an RCD keeps tripping, and other faults worth understanding
  • What drives the cost of electrical work in a British home

Questions it answers

  • Do electricians need a licence in the UK?
  • What is an EICR, and how often do I need one?
  • What is BS 7671?
  • Can I do electrical work in my own home?
  • Does Part P apply in Scotland and Northern Ireland?
  • My landlord has not given me an electrical safety report. What should they have done?

How matching works

Requests are matched by published rules that are the same for every pro.

How we rank and match pros
  • You receive a request only for services you offer and haven’t excluded, in the areas you serve.
  • Your account must be active, with your email address and phone number verified, and you must be accepting new requests within the daily or weekly limits you set.
  • Requests reach you only with timings you accept, such as emergencies, and budgets that aren’t clearly outside the range you work in.
  • When more pros fit than a lead allows, we give more weight to an exact service match, how directly you cover the area, verification, how quickly you reply and, once you have at least three published reviews, your rating. Never to who pays more.
  • Each lead goes to a limited number of pros, and you see that number before you decide.

Invalid leads and refunds

If a lead turns out to be invalid, you can ask for a refund review from your dashboard. We look at each request and let you know the outcome. A lead may qualify when:

  • The contact details are wrong or don't work.
  • It duplicates a lead you already received.
  • It isn't a real request for work.
  • It's outside the services or areas you listed.
