What sort of documentation should I receive from the electrical contractor when the work is finished?

You should receive a final invoice together with an “Electrical Certificate of Compliance” which details the work undertaken by the electrical contractor at your home. This should be provided within 30 days of the completion. This should include signatures, electrical workers licence number & the electrical contractor licence number. This acts as your guarantee that the work was completed by a licensed electrical contractor. In the event of a fire your insurance company will ask to see this.
