Escrow Village · Service guide
Find electricians for installation and repair work
Electrical work needs a clear brief and appropriate professional competence. Describe the property or equipment, the fault or installation required, and the location. Use Village Market to find providers, then confirm that the provider is qualified for the particular job before authorising work.
Define the job and required competence
Separate fault-finding, rewiring, installation and maintenance. Explain access restrictions, occupied areas and any equipment involved. Ask the provider about relevant competence and how they will assess the job. Do not attempt hazardous electrical work based on marketplace chat or treat an identity-verification badge as a trade qualification.
- Describe the installation or fault.
- Confirm competence for the job.
- Agree site inspection and access.
Agree materials and a written scope
Specify the work areas, fittings, materials, labour, removal of old equipment and any making-good work. Ask how substitutions or unexpected faults will be authorised. Record who purchases materials and how unused materials are handled. Obtain a revised quote before expanding the original job.
Require appropriate testing and evidence
Agree what testing, documentation and professional sign-off are relevant to the job. Record completion evidence without publishing sensitive property details. Escrow provides a payment workflow; it is not an electrical inspection service and cannot replace the checks needed for safe completion.
List your electrical services accurately
Describe the work you are competent to undertake, service area, call-out policy and pricing basis. Give customers enough detail to request a relevant quote. Use genuine completed-work examples with permission and avoid claims of universal availability or qualifications you cannot substantiate.
Common questions
Can I hire an electrician for a local job?
Search available listings, confirm the service area and discuss the specific work and qualifications.
Are materials automatically included?
No. Agree an itemised materials and labour quote.
Does a verified account mean a certified electrician?
Identity verification and professional competence are different checks. Confirm the credentials required for the work.
Agree the details before you pay
Review the current fees, eligibility and available methods in your account. Keep the agreed terms and use the correct transaction flow.
