Common challenges electrical businesses face
Running a electrical business comes with unique challenges. Here's how Surehand helps.
Quoting a rewire takes the rest of the evening
Materials list, labour estimate, Part P notification, certificate cost — quotes for full electrical work eat hours of your evening if you're starting from scratch every time.
NICEIC / NAPIT renewals creep up on you
Annual assessment, scheme membership, insurance — miss a date and your registration lapses. Without a system you're relying on email reminders that get buried.
EICR reports are a digital admin headache
Site visit, observations, classification codes, recommendations — then you're back at the desk typing the report up. Every electrician has a backlog of EICRs they keep meaning to write.
Material costs jump and your quotes go stale
Cable, consumer units, SWA — wholesaler prices move every few months. A quote you sent in January is unprofitable by April if you don't update your pricing.
Chasing landlord and letting agents for payment
30-day terms turn into 60. The agency forgets the invoice. You're funding their business with yours, and the next emergency callout is from the same address.
Notifiable work and Part P compliance
Self-certifying notifiable work means a paper trail HMRC and the local authority might want to see. Without a digital record, every job is a fresh worry about whether you covered yourself.
Features built for electrical businesses
Surehand provides industry-specific tools to help you run your business more efficiently.
Detailed Quote Builder
Save common quotes (consumer unit replacement, full rewire, EV charger install) as templates. Build new quotes by tweaking line items — labour, materials, certificates, Part P fees.
NICEIC / Part P Compliance Tracking
Store your scheme membership, insurance certificates, qualifications and renewal dates. Surehand reminds you well before anything expires.
EICR Report Generator
Capture observations, classification codes (C1/C2/C3/FI) and recommendations on site. Surehand builds the EICR report PDF for you — no evening typing.
Material Cost Updates
Update wholesaler prices in one place; all your quote templates pick up the change. Quote profitability stays accurate as cable and CU prices move.
Direct Debit & Card Payments
Take Stripe card payments on the spot for domestic work, or set up Direct Debit for letting agencies and landlords via GoCardless. Stops the 60-day chase.
Customer Equipment & Job History
Track each customer's consumer unit type, circuit layout, EICR results, and last visit. Your second visit is twice as fast because you already know the system.
Mobile Job Notes & Photos
Photo evidence of installs, fault findings and CU labelling — stored permanently against the job. Useful for warranty work and dispute resolution.
Xero / MTD Sync
Invoices and payments sync to Xero — HMRC-recognised for Making Tax Digital. From April 2026, sole-trader electricians earning over £50k must comply.
