EVIDENCE BEFORE ASSUMPTIONS
Understand what’s checked.
Which electrical registers and qualifications should I check? →
Public basic listing
A dated review of identity, advertised services, service areas and relevant public information. Unclaimed means the business has not approved this profile.
Business-approved profile
An authorised representative has agreed the exact information and permitted media. This alone does not establish every qualification or full directory verification.
Verified by Electrician Shortlist
A separate review of exact work scope, competence and relevant registration, authority, insurance, complaints arrangements, reputation and media permissions. Supporting documents stay private.
A scheme logo, company registration or customer score does not establish competence for every job. Domestic work, EICRs, industrial installations and renewable technologies have different scope. No payment buys verification.

Why Anthony started Electrician Shortlist
Anthony drew on his extensive experience in the appliance industry and the concerns customers shared with him about home-service customer care and pricing. He has also witnessed first-hand how older customers can face poor care or excessive charges when an urgent problem leaves them anxious and under pressure. This inspired him to create a directory focused on meaningful checks, clear information and fair, transparent pricing, with particular care for vulnerable customers.
Clear standards. Fair treatment. People first.
Our team’s backgrounds support the project’s values. Every listed business is assessed separately for the services it offers; the directory’s team qualifications do not replace trade-specific checks.
