What is a domestic electrician 

With society relying on electrical goods more and more each day, a domestic electrician is very rarely short of work, making it an attractive proposition for those looking to get trained and go into the trade.

A Domestic electrician is trained to undertake domestic electrical work, such as the installation and replacement and maintenance of electrical parts. As a Domestic Electrician, you can undertake tasks such as house rewires, and all scopes of internal and external electrics i.e. lighting and sockets.

After you have become a qualified domestic electrician, you can work either self employed or potentially for a company who only cover residential installation work. Both routes to employment have benefits e.g those employed by a company such as British Gas may have a more steady salary, however self employed electricians often earn more overall.
