Your Right to Cancel
Last updated: 10 August 2026
If you are a consumer and we agreed the contract in your home, over the phone or online, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 give you 14 days to change your mind. Here is how that works, without the legalese.
The 14-day right, in plain English
The clock starts the day after the contract is made. For 14 days you can cancel for any reason, or no reason, and owe nothing for work not yet done.
This applies to contracts agreed away from our premises: in your home, by phone, by message or through the website. It does not apply to business customers.
How to cancel
Just tell us, clearly, before the 14 days are up. A phone call works, but something in writing is safest:
Call 07703 295654 or email info@misterelectrics.co.uk.
You can use the model form below, but you do not have to. If you cancel by post, it counts as long as you sent it before the deadline.
If you paid a deposit and cancel in time, we refund it within 14 days.
Model cancellation form
Copy this into an email or letter, or download it as a text file:
To: Mister Electrics Email: info@misterelectrics.co.uk I/We hereby give notice that I/we cancel my/our contract for the supply of the following service: Ordered on: Name of consumer(s): Address of consumer(s): Signature (only if this form is on paper): Date:
If you want us to start within the 14 days
You can ask us to start straight away. If you do, we will ask for your express agreement in writing, worded like this:
“I ask Mister Electrics to begin the work before my 14-day cancellation period ends. I understand that if I then cancel, I must pay for the work done up to the point I cancelled, and that if the work is completed within the period, I lose the right to cancel.”
That is the trade-off the regulations set: early start, but you pay for what has genuinely been done if you later cancel.
When the right does not apply
- Business, landlord and commercial contracts
- Urgent repairs and maintenance you specifically asked us to visit and carry out, such as emergency callouts
- Goods made to your specification or clearly personalised
- Contracts agreed entirely at our premises
Even where the cancellation right does not apply, our normal rescheduling terms and your other statutory rights still do.
