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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Business facts - Service area: Basingstoke, Kempshott, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Chineham, Popley, Winklebury, Rooksdown, Old Basing, Oakley, Hook, Fleet, Tadley, Overton, Bramley, Whitchurch, Gosport - Hours: Every day 00:00–23:59 - Phone: +447307211625 - Email: team@jd-electricals.co.uk - Qualifications: Nvq level 3 electrical installation, City and guilds, 2009 ## Book Online - [Book Online](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and postcode to JD Electricals. ## Related pages - [Full sitemap](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
