Part P Electrician
About
Self Employed Electrician, apprentice trained by Derbyshire County Council in schools, care homes and other public buildings, qualified in 1982. Studied up to HND level, Part P registered since 2005 currently with Napit, JIB graded as Technician.
Plenty of experience in Industrial and commercial environments but these days I mainly concentrate on domestic work local to Derby.
Previously spent many years as engineer on ocean going, environmental research vessels worldwide. Also touring shows, events and broadcast electrician (London 2012 Olympics, 2014 Commonwealth Games, Euro 08 Soccer Austria, 2016 F1 Grand Prix Silverstone, Glastonbury, Download, Cirque Du Soleil etc.)
VSO volunteer electrical instructor in Kenya 1989-92 in a rural polytechnic, instructing Kenyan lads in preparation for Government trade tests.
Previously a solar PV installer until the cuts in FIT tariffs in 2011.
Prefer smaller jobs these days, no rewires please, I no longer perform EICR'S (electrical Installation Condition reports). Can also undertake basic handyman jobs, no painting or tiling though.
My phone is an old Nokia 1208 so texts and calls only please, I respond to emails from home on laptop so may take a little while.
Thanks.

DJ Caister ElectricianThanks Carol, feel free to pass on my details if anyone else needs an electrician. I can also undertake some handyman jobs if required. Regards Dave
Electrician
Dave has recently done some work wiring up my new kitchen, and in the past has done routine electrical maintenance at Derby Rugby Club. Also fitted electric heaters in changing rooms. All his work is up to standard. He is also punctual, and communicates well, keeping you upto date on progress and plans. I'd certainly use him again.
Electrician
Dave has performed numerous electrical jobs at our property including commission of hot tub, various external spot lights, internal lighting and lastly an EV car charger all to an excellent standard. Highly recommended.
