When it comes to electrical safety and high-quality workmanship, hiring a qualified professional isn’t just recommended — it’s essential. In the UK, the 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) sets the national standard for electrical installation and safety. At BuildSpark, we proudly ensure that every electrician we send out is fully compliant and trained to these regulations.
✅ What Is the 18th Edition?

-
Enhanced safety practices
-
Protection against electric shock

Surge protection for sensitive devices
These regulations are mandatory for all new electrical installations and rewires across domestic and commercial properties in the UK.
