Sheffield market

Sheffield electricians — by the numbers

Sheffield electrical work concentrates around the city's large student rental sector — EICR and consumer unit batch work across Crookes, Broomhill, Ecclesall Road, and Endcliffe in the July-September void window drives a meaningful share of annual letting-agent invoicing. The wider South Yorkshire metro reads as a single market — Rotherham, Barnsley, and Chesterfield are all routinely on the same week's job list. Commercial M&E demand from the Heart of the City II pipeline runs CIS-deducted under main contractors on the larger jobs, but most independent electrician invoicing is direct-to-landlord or direct-to-homeowner. NICEIC/NAPIT registration on every invoice is standard.

A real job

EICR plus remedial work, one clean invoice

You finish an EICR on a rental property and find three C2 codes that need fixing — a dodgy fuseboard junction, a broken socket in the kitchen, and missing supplementary bonding in the bathroom. The landlord wants the lot done before the next tenancy. You quote: £180 for the EICR, £450 for the remedials. Message Wedge: "Invoice Sarah Patel £180 for EICR plus £450 for remedial works at 14 Elm Road." Wedge generates one professional invoice with two clear line items, attaches your business details, sends Sarah the WhatsApp link, and chases her on day five if unpaid. Sarah pays £630; £623.70 lands in your account — you keep 99%, we keep 1%. No monthly subscription. If you only do two EICRs in a slow February, you only pay 1% on those two.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can Sheffield electricians invoice for void-period EICR runs?+

Letting agents typically expect the EICR certificate plus invoice within 48 hours of inspection. Wedge generates the invoice from a WhatsApp message at the property — certificate as a follow-up, invoice with bank details and Stripe link as a separate send. Agents close their reconciliation faster, you get paid faster.

Can I attach the NICEIC or Part P certificate to the invoice?+

You can include your NICEIC/Part P/ECA registration details on every invoice automatically. For the certificate itself, send it as a follow-up WhatsApp message — customers like getting it in the same thread as the invoice and payment.

How do I invoice for EICRs separately from remedial work?+

Two ways: send two separate invoices (e.g. quote the EICR alone, then invoice for remedials after the customer agrees), or combine them as line items on one invoice. Just tell Wedge how you want it split.

What's the right way to invoice landlord clients versus homeowners?+

Same flow either way, but Wedge lets you save common customers. For landlords with multiple properties, you can include the property address on each invoice line so they can match it back to the right tenancy.

Do customers see my qualifications on the invoice?+

Yes — your business details, registration body, and any qualifications you set up at sign-up appear on every invoice. Reassures landlords doing due diligence and customers who want to check you're legit.

Can I bill for Building Control notifications separately?+

Yes. Add a separate line item — "Building Control notification fee — £90" — when messaging Wedge. Customers see the fee broken out clearly so it doesn't look like a hidden mark-up.

I'm Part P registered — how do I show this?+

Add your registration number and scheme (NICEIC, ELECSA, NAPIT, etc.) once during sign-up. It appears on every invoice and quote without you having to remember to add it.
