Somebody who has electrical training can do anything from working with mechanical devices, to installing electricity within a new home; but are their expertise enough to get the job done?

When an electrician is working on a new build, this question is perhaps less relevant, as they are just wiring an empty shell, but when they are working on existing buildings, breaking walls to access the wiring may be necessary. This complicates matters considerably, as any damage of professional work needs to be repaired to the same standard it was before, or else they risk bad reviews from their customers. There is probably only two solutions to this situation; either the electrician needs to train in how to repair the damage, or else they work closely with other tradesman, so that they can be called in to fix the damage after it has happened. The second option is the more common choice, but for those electricians who prefer to work by themselves, they need to consider gaining extra expertise so that they can maintain their reputation.
