Welcome to the forum Jen31. As an additional point make sure you get an electrical certificate for the alterations done. If your electrician adds a new circuit you should have a multiple page Electrical Installation Certificate and a Part P compliance certificate as you say you are in the West Midlands, (not applicable in Scotland as certain of our members like to remind us!). If it is just altering an existing circuit it would just be a single page Minor Works Certificate. Either way there are some standard tests that should be done to verify the alterations are safe. Do not pay the full bill until you have received your certificate, this would at least give some written evidence of the work done with a signed declaration by the electrician that it complies with the wiring regulations. It is not uncommon for domestic work to be undertaken on a purely verbal agreement, although it does leave greater risk of misunderstandings about the actual work and the price. However all but the very simplest of replacement work should have an electricial certificate issued., irrespective of any written contracts or not.
