The way a good electrician should work, and the way most don’t.
Send a photo or pick up the phone. We listen first, ask a couple of sensible questions, and figure it out with you.
A written, honest estimate with no hidden extras. If you don’t understand a line item we’ll rewrite it until you do.
Confirmation text the day you book, reminder the day before, arrival window text on the morning. No no-shows.
Dust sheets down, shoes off, vacuum before we leave. If there was a coffee ring before we came, there’s a coffee ring after.
Your digital certificate lands in 24 hours. We text you six months later to check everything’s still happy.
What Watford says
“Booked IVU for a fuse board swap after another firm cancelled twice. Arrived on time, finished by lunch, immaculate work and a digital certificate by tea.”

Managing Director · Master Electrician
Founder’s story
I started IVU Electrical in 2020 after more than a decade working on everything from Victorian house rewires to commercial fit-outs across Hertfordshire. I wanted to build a firm that treated electrical work the way it deserves — as a craft, documented, certified, and done cleanly the first time.
Every job we do is signed off personally. If you see a pair of muddy boots at your door, it’s not us. If you find a loose offcut in a cupboard, it’s not us. And if an installation develops a fault we trace back to our work, we come back and sort it — no arguments, no invoices.
“Properly done, the first time.”

A plain-English guide to the 2020 regulations, what 'satisfactory' really means, and how to avoid the C1/C2 trap.
When a buzzing sound matters, when it doesn't, and why an 18th-Edition upgrade is rarely urgent.
