The paperwork behind the work.

The NICEIC is the UK's leading electrical certification body. Approved Contractor status is earned through a regular on-site assessment of real work against the national wiring standard, BS 7671 — it isn't a badge you can buy.

→ The person working on your property has been independently assessed against the same standard a surveyor, insurer or building-control officer will expect — proven, not just claimed.

Approved-contractor status lets us self-certify notifiable electrical work in dwellings to Building Regulations Part P and notify Building Control on your behalf.

→ Notifiable work in your home is signed off through us — no separate building-control inspection, and no separate fee.

BS 7671 is the British Standard for electrical installations — the national wiring regulations your certificate is measured against. Everything we install is designed and tested to it.

→ Your installation and your certificate meet the recognised national standard, so the paperwork stands up when you come to sell, let or insure.

Artek is a genuine family business, led by director Alan Bissell with Kim Bissell running the office, and has been trading for over two decades around Bishop's Stortford.

→ You deal with the same family from the first call to the final certificate — the people who quote the job are the people who stand behind it.

Work is carried out by Artek's own team under Alan, not passed to a stranger. Over 20 years, the standard has stayed consistent across domestic and commercial work.

→ The standard, and the accountability, stay with one family firm from your first call to the final test.

Where a job is notifiable or requires certification, you receive the relevant certificate — an installation certificate, minor works certificate, or an EICR — on completion.

→ You hold a traceable record you can pass to a buyer, an insurer or a landlord's agent, whenever you need it.
