Who can use these Electrician Terms of Business?

An electrician can use these Electrician Terms of Business. They are written in plain English and allow the user to detail the service they provide, their fees, and the terms governing their activities.

What is this contract for?

It is always sensible for a specialist such as an electrician to set out their terms of business and our template is designed for this purpose. There is a simple one-page form of agreement plus a set of standard Terms of Business which can be given to a potential client before any agreement is signed.  The form of agreement also contains suitable wording for use when the client is a consumer and the Consumer Contracts Regulations apply.

Client’s duties.  It is important for the client to give access at agreed times.  Also, make it clear if you want the client to clear furniture and carpets before work starts and to provide various facilities, as well as getting any necessary planning or other consent.

Insurance and Liability. The terms may specify what insurance the electrician maintains and limit their liability to the amount recoverable from insurers in the case of any loss or damage.
