A time served electrician can potentially earn over £30,000/£50,000 depending on which area of electrical work he/she serves as there are three main areas of electrical work: domestic, commercial and industrial. Domestic
Work within the domestic area would vary from job to job, but would mainly consist of what you see in homes today. It maybe a matter of installing an additional ring circuit in a bedroom, replacing a shower unit, a new lighting circuit or running power to an outer building. All the electrical work would differ on a small scale. Commercial
Simlar to domestic, but on a larger scale within a different environment. It can consist of wiring large offices using dado and trunking installations for the use of computers and networking, Data cabling, Security and Fire alarm systems. Industrial
Industrial installation is not for the faint hearted, its on a different level to domestic and commercial. Installation work can vary on a wide scale and projects can take a lengthy time. The use of uni-strut, tray and trucking is commonly used, along side with Steel wire armoured cabling.
