Debt Recovery Services

No Collection, No Commission Debt Recovery for Electrical Contractors

Electrical contractors invest heavily in labour, materials and equipment before receiving a penny from their clients. When payments are delayed or withheld, the impact on your cash flow is immediate and serious. Late-paying main contractors, commercial clients who dispute test certificates, and domestic customers who refuse to pay on completion are all too common.

Hay's Collections specialises in recovering debts for electrical contractors of every size. Whether you're a sole-trader electrician chasing a single unpaid domestic job or a commercial electrical company with multiple outstanding invoices, we have the expertise to recover what you're owed.

Our electrician debt recovery service operates on a No Collection, No Commission basis — you only pay us 15% of what we successfully recover. There are no upfront fees and no financial risk.

In addition to our core No Collection, No Commission debt recovery service, we provide a comprehensive range of ancillary services — including debtor tracing, credit checks, legal escalation, statutory demands and enforcement support — ensuring your case receives the full specialist attention it deserves.

Common Problems

Debt Recovery Challenges in the Electrical Contractors Sector

Main Contractor Late Payment

Main contractors regularly delay subcontractor payments beyond agreed terms. We apply structured pressure to accelerate payment.

Snagging List Disputes

Clients use snagging lists as a pretext to withhold final payment. We help distinguish genuine snagging from delay tactics.

Certification Disputes

Withheld completion certificates prevent final payments being issued. We challenge unlawful certification delays.

Commercial Client Delays

Large commercial clients exploit their size to delay SME contractors. We level the playing field.

Domestic Non-Payment

Domestic clients who refuse to pay after job completion are a frustrating reality. We pursue these debts professionally.

Service Contract Arrears

Maintenance and service contract customers who fall behind on recurring payments need firm but professional pursuit.
