Minor works certificate in Basingstoke
JD Electricals issues a minor works certificate after a small addition or alteration on an existing circuit. The certificate records the work, the tests and that the circuit is safe to use for homeowners and landlords.
“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

When do you need a minor works certificate?
- You need a minor works certificate when a small change is made to an existing circuit in your home.
- The new socket is added to a circuit that already exists, so the job is recorded as minor works.
- Changing those fittings on an existing lighting circuit is the kind of job this certificate covers.
- Connecting those on a circuit that already runs to the kitchen is recorded after the tests.

Minor works certificate questions
Homeowners and landlords ask the same few things before they book a minor works certificate.
How much does a minor works certificate cost?+
A minor works certificate from JD Electricals starts at £95. That is for one small job on one existing circuit, including the tests and the certificate. Book Online and the circuit and written price are confirmed before the visit.
— James Dunn
What is a minor works certificate?+
It is the paperwork JD Electricals fills in after a small addition or alteration on a circuit that already exists. It records the work, the test results and that the circuit is safe to use. A new circuit, a rewire or a fuse board change uses different paperwork.
— James Dunn
Is a minor works certificate the same as an EICR?+
No. An EICR, the landlord electrical safety certificate, checks the condition of the whole installation from £150. A minor works certificate only covers the small job just done on one circuit. You still need an EICR on its own due date after a small job.
Do I need one for an extra socket?+
Yes, if JD Electricals adds the socket to a circuit that already exists. The certificate records that addition and the tests on that circuit. A new run from the fuse board needs an installation certificate instead.
Who does the testing and signs the certificate?+
JD Electricals tests the circuit and fills in the certificate on the visit. James Dunn is the named owner of the company. Extra findings are priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill.
