The UK's Top 100 Electricians for 2026
Once an electrician has finished, most of what they did is hidden behind plaster and under floorboards, so the record they leave with past customers counts for a lot. Here are the 100 UK electricians whose Google reviews stand out most, ranked by rating and by the number of reviews that rating rests on.
The best electricians in the UK for 2026, based on Google reviews, are Sheaworks Ltd in Harlow (5.0 from 1,691 reviews), Tyneside Electrical Services Ltd in Newcastle upon Tyne (5.0 from 660 reviews) and Manchester EICR Limited in Ashton-under-Lyne (5.0 from 649 reviews). Below are all 100, ranked, from 50 counties across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
How the Top 100 Were Chosen
Of the 4,781 electricians in our directory, 1,067 cleared the bar for the 2026 list. To qualify, an electrician needed a Google rating of at least 4.8 from 50 or more reviews, and a Google profile that is still open. The qualifiers were then ordered by our ranking score, which weights each rating by its number of reviews. A 5.0 from 250 customers ranks above a 5.0 from 70, because keeping a perfect score across that many homes is much harder. Volume matters with electricians in particular. Many electrical jobs are short visits, such as a dead socket, a tripping circuit or a new light fitting, so a long run of good reviews shows how someone treats people on ordinary call outs as well as on big rewires.
We also capped the list at three electricians per county, and ten for Greater London, so that it reaches across the UK instead of gathering around a few large cities. Nobody can pay to be included. The list is built only from public Google reviews.

Where the Winners Are
The 2026 Top 100 comes from 50 counties: 84 in England, 6 in Scotland, 7 in Wales and 3 in Northern Ireland. Greater London has 10 of the 100, and no other county has more than three, so the list reflects the whole of the UK rather than only its biggest cities.
Between them the 100 hold 31,328 Google reviews, with an average rating of 4.98 out of 5.
The Paperwork That Marks Out a Great Electrician
You cannot judge a circuit once the plaster is back on, so the best electricians leave you proof that the work was tested. That proof is a certificate, and a good electrician tells you which one you will get before the job starts.
- Electrical Installation Certificate. For a new circuit or a new consumer unit (fuse box). It confirms the work meets BS 7671, the national wiring standard.
- Minor Works Certificate. For an addition or alteration to an existing circuit, such as an extra socket.
- Building Regulations Compliance Certificate. For notifiable work in England and Wales. A registered electrician arranges for you to receive it within 30 days and for your council to be told.
- Electrical Installation Condition Report. Not for new work. This is the report from an inspection of an existing installation, usually called an EICR.
The rules behind those certificates depend on where you live. Part P of the Building Regulations applies only in England and Wales. Three kinds of job are notifiable. These are a new consumer unit, a complete new circuit, and changes to circuits in a special location. In England the special locations are the spaces around baths and showers, while Wales adds kitchens and outdoors. Electricians who belong to one of the government approved competent person schemes, NICEIC and NAPIT being two of them, can sign off their own notifiable work. If yours is not registered, building control must be told before the work starts. Scotland runs its own building standards, where electrical work done under a building warrant needs either a registered installer's approval or a council check. Northern Ireland sets no legal requirement for wiring work in homes, which makes your own checks matter more. Each document is covered in our guide to Part P and electrical certificates.
Inspections are where honesty shows. An EICR grades each problem it finds. C1 means danger is present, C2 means potentially dangerous, and C3 means an improvement is recommended, which on its own does not make the report unsatisfactory. A trustworthy electrician will not dress up a C3 as a failure. Electrical Safety First also says that if a report is satisfactory you do not have to replace a consumer unit just because it has no RCD protection. Our guide to EICR certificates shows how to read one.
Business premises are different again. Building regulations for electrical installation cover homes, and work in shops, offices and industrial buildings comes under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, overseen by the Health and Safety Executive. Our guide to hiring a commercial electrician covers what to ask. Wherever the job is, if a certificate does not arrive after major work, contact the scheme the electrician says they belong to, which can confirm their registration and take you through its complaints procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About the UK's Top 100 Electricians
Who is the best electrician in the UK?
Based on Google reviews, the highest ranked electrician in our UK Top 100 for 2026 is Sheaworks Ltd in Harlow, with 5.0 stars from 1,691 reviews, followed by Tyneside Electrical Services Ltd and Manchester EICR Limited. The full ranked list of 100 is on this page.
How did you pick the UK's top 100 electricians?
We took every electrician we list, 4,781 in all, and kept the 1,067 with a Google rating of 4.8 or higher, at least 50 reviews and an open Google profile. Those were ranked by a score that gives more weight to a rating backed by many reviews. To spread the list across the UK, no county could have more than three electricians and Greater London no more than ten.
Do electricians pay to appear in the top 100?
No. Nobody can buy a place or a higher position, and no paid service on this site has any bearing on the list. The list is worked out from public Google ratings, review counts and whether each business's Google profile is open, so the only way in is a strong record with customers.
Which is better, NICEIC or NAPIT?
For a homeowner they do the same job. Both appear on the government's list of authorised competent person schemes for electrical work in homes, alongside BESCA, Blue Flame Certification and OFTEC, and an electrician registered with any of them can certify notifiable work in England and Wales. The more useful question is whether the registration is genuine, which the Electrical Competent Person Register or the scheme itself can confirm.
How much should I pay an electrician per hour in the UK?
Going by national cost guides, most electricians charge about £40 to £60 an hour, or about £55 to £75 in London and the South East. Many charge a call out fee of roughly £60 to £120 that often covers the first hour, and a full day typically runs £220 to £400 outside London. Defined jobs such as a rewire or a new consumer unit are usually priced as a fixed quote. Prices rise over time, so compare written quotes.
How can I check an electrician is properly qualified?
Ask which scheme they are registered with, then look the business up on the Electrical Competent Person Register, a single list of electricians signed up to the approved schemes for domestic work. The Health and Safety Executive says a completed electrical apprenticeship followed by some experience is a good way of showing competence for general electrical work. When the job is finished, the certificate you receive is your record that the work was tested.
Do I need a domestic or a commercial electrician?
It depends on the building. The building regulations for electrical installation work apply to homes, with Part P covering England and Wales. Work in shops, offices, factories and other commercial premises comes under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, which the Health and Safety Executive enforces. Some electricians do both, so ask about similar jobs they have done and which certificates or reports they will give you.
