Original data
Aggregate data from 1,205 real quotes and 118,303 real exam answers — what UK electricians charge, how fast clients say yes, and the BS 7671 topics the trade gets wrong. Methodology and sample sizes are stated on the page. No surveys, no estimates, no individual identifiable.

35.8%
of 18th Edition answers wrong (n = 8,607)
35.8% of answers to 18th Edition questions are wrong — and over half of attempts miss what a Type A RCD detects.
From 118,303 real mock exam answers across 35 exams (11 Jul – 20 Aug 2026). The weakest areas are device selection, ingress protection codes and duties outside BS 7671 itself — not circuit theory. Nobody else holds question-level data on the UK trade at this scale.
The median UK electrical quote is £411 — and 74% of all quotes are under £1,000.
From 1,205 real quotes worth £1.38 million (Sep 2025 – Aug 2026). The mean is nearly three times the median — anyone quoting “average job value” is describing the big jobs, not the trade’s day-to-day reality. Regional and job-type cuts available on request.
Digitally sent quotes are accepted in a median of 5.3 hours — not the week the trade assumes.
75% of quotes sent through the platform were accepted, most on the same day. For a one-van business that changes cash flow more than any price rise — the job is often confirmed before the next site visit is finished.
Built at the kitchen table by a Cumbrian electrician who lost his evenings to certificates — not by a software company guessing at the trade.
Andrew Moore came up through a JTL apprenticeship, spent years as an Advanced Craftsman Electrician at Sellafield, and built Elec-Mate around the paperwork that ate his week. His full story is published at elec-mate.com/story, and he is available for interview.

The founder
Founder · Approved Electrician · 18th Edition · C&G 2391
Andrew is from Whitehaven on the Cumbrian coast and came up through the trade the proper way — a JTL apprenticeship in 2009, then years as an Advanced Craftsman Electrician at Sellafield: installation, commissioning, maintenance and fault-finding across the plant, training and mentoring apprentices along the way. He now works as a Pre-Operations Engineer in the nuclear sector, and built Elec-Mate in the evenings around the problem he lived — certificates at the kitchen table, quotes to write, invoices to chase.
“Why is there no single app that does all of this? I couldn't find one. So I decided to build it myself.”
Available for comment on: electrical certification and the EICR market, BS 7671 and Amendment 4, apprentice training and assessment, AI in the trades, and the platform's original data.
In their words
“Elec-Mate has testing software, PAT testing, quoting, invoicing, training, calendar — I went fully committed and paid up for the year. I love this app, can’t speak highly enough about it to other electricians.”
“A true all in one app for quotes, certs, calculations, RAMS, EICRs, and more. I use it every day without fail. 100% recommend.”
“Absolutely superb as an app, I can invoice, complete testing certs and reports as well as track my CPD. Everything in one place is exactly what I need, worth every penny.”
