What the workmanship warranty actually covers
And, more usefully, where it stops. Electrical work meets wiring somebody else installed decades ago, and that boundary is where every argument happens.
On your quote, before you approve it
| What we did | What is covered | Where the term is set |
|---|---|---|
| Our workmanship | Every connection, termination and fixing we made, against our own installation defect. | Your quote |
| Fittings we supplied | Switches, sockets, fittings and boards we sourced, against the product failing. | Manufacturer's own |
| Switchboard work | Boards, breakers and safety switches we installed, plus the testing that signed them off. | Your quote |
| EV charger installs | Our circuit, mounting and commissioning. The charger itself carries its maker's cover. | Your quote |
| Certificate of compliance | Issued on completion for all notifiable work, and re-issued free if you lose it. | Permanent |
Not covered
- Existing wiring we did not touch — we will show you where our work ends.
- Fittings you supplied, beyond our installation of them.
- Work by another electrician on the same circuit after ours.
- Surge, lightning and utility-supply faults — that is an insurance claim.
- A circuit we advised upgrading and were asked to leave.
How to claim
Call the office
You do not need the paperwork — we hold the job file and the certificate number.
We test it
At no charge, and we tell you plainly whether it is our work or the wiring around it.
We put it right
If it is ours, we fix it and re-test. If it is not, you get a quote before anything happens.
Warranty length differs by contractor — the column above says where each term is set, and yours belongs on the quote rather than on a web page. Set your own before you publish this.
