How We Rank Electricians

Every ranking is powered by our advanced reputation analysis system using publicly available information.

01

Analyse Reputation

We look at every electrician we list in each town and county, collecting their Google star rating and the total number of reviews behind it.

02

Calculate Score

A Bayesian average balances each electrician's star rating against review volume, so a long track record counts for more than a few reviews.

03

Award Badges

Any electrician with at least 5 reviews and a 4.0 rating or higher earns Top Rated. The highest scoring firm in each area is Most Recommended.
