Why Choose NAPIT-Certified Electricians for Your Next Project
NAPIT-certified electricians meet strict professional standards and can self-certify work, saving you time and money on Building Control fees.
When it comes to electrical work in your home or business, choosing the right electrician isn't just about finding someone with the lowest quote. Your safety, legal compliance, and long-term peace of mind depend on selecting a qualified professional who meets the highest industry standards. This is where NAPIT certification makes all the difference.
What Does NAPIT Certification Actually Mean?
NAPIT stands for the National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers, and it's one of the UK's leading government-approved membership scheme operators in the building services sector. Formed in 1992 and accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), NAPIT operates as a Competent Person Scheme that ensures electrical contractors meet strict professional standards.
When you choose a NAPIT-certified electrician like D.Jones Electrical & Maintenance Services Ltd, you're selecting a professional who has demonstrated a high level of competency and compliance with current regulations. Our NAPIT certification means we can self-certify our work, ensuring it meets all safety standards and building regulations without requiring additional inspections from Building Control.
The Rigorous Standards Behind NAPIT Certification
Becoming NAPIT-certified isn't something that happens overnight. Electricians must hold specific qualifications including NVQ Level 3 certification, City & Guilds 2365 course certification, and 18th Edition Wiring Regulations certification. Beyond these formal qualifications, NAPIT members must demonstrate thorough knowledge of current industry regulations and show a high degree of practical competency in their work.
Perhaps most importantly, NAPIT certification isn't a one-time achievement. Registered installers are regularly assessed to ensure their ongoing competence, meaning your NAPIT-certified electrician stays current with the latest safety regulations, installation techniques, and industry best practices.
Practical Benefits for Property Owners
Choosing a NAPIT-certified electrician provides tangible advantages that go well beyond peace of mind. When D.Jones Electrical & Maintenance Services Ltd completes electrical work on your property, our NAPIT certification allows us to provide the necessary compliance certificates immediately. This saves you time and money by eliminating the need for separate Building Control inspections and associated fees.
For landlords and commercial property owners, this certification is particularly valuable. NAPIT-certified electricians can provide all the documentation required for legal compliance, including Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) and the newer Electrical Installation Safety Record Summary (EISRS) documents that help explain findings to property owners in clear, understandable terms.
Why NAPIT Matters for Your Safety
Sub-standard electrical work doesn't just risk failing an inspection – it puts lives and property at genuine risk. Faulty installations can lead to electrical fires, electrocution, and significant property damage. NAPIT certification ensures that electrical work is completed safely and to legally required standards every time.
Our team at D.Jones Electrical & Maintenance Services Ltd undergoes regular assessment to maintain our NAPIT status, meaning we're always working to the very latest health and safety regulations. This ongoing commitment to excellence is what sets NAPIT-certified electricians apart from uncertified contractors who may cut corners or work to outdated standards.

It shows that D.Jones Electrical & Maintenance Services Ltd has taken the time and effort to meet stringent professional standards, and that we're committed to maintaining those standards through ongoing assessment and training.
