   You will probably find a whole list of services offered by a company on their official website.

3. Make sure of their qualifications before hiring
   Before you take the final decision, make sure that the electrical service company meets all the necessary conditions and checks the right boxes where legality is concerned. See if their previous works meet the British Standards and are in compliance with the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).The electricians employed in the company, who will be working in your house, office or shop also need to be City and Guilds qualified so that there is no risk in terms of health and safety of the workers as well as your establishment – domestic or commercial.
   
4. Look up their maintenance services
   Installation and running of electrical wirings and equipment are not enough. They need regular check-ups and maintenance as well. So while choosing electrical services in London, make it a point to know about their maintenance services as well.

   It does not only include showing up when there is a problem of some kind but also includes scheduling a periodic inspection.

   It falls under the maintenance services of these companies to fix and replace the wires and equipment when needed or after the specific time period for safety, carrying out a thorough inspection, cleaning and servicing of the equipment and otherwise 24-hour service for sudden breakdowns or faults.
   

5. Ask about the materials they use
   Often such companies have links with other companies that manufacture electrical parts. Since they will be fitted in your establishment, you are well within your rights to ask and know about the manufacturing company of the electrical parts.
