We have hundreds of people who work in open plan environments. From the CEO down, nobody has a private office. This culture has led to a busy and vibrant culture within the workplace and the staff and the company actually feel the company has benifited from the open plan environment.
This is not to deny that noise is an issue we have just provided more break out space, work from home policies, quiet rooms (library study desk type area's) and phone rooms for those private phone calls (similar to telphone boxes).
This mix of alternatives helps but you will always get the individual who feels that a private office works better when in fact it more of status symbol than a productive work environment.
I personally would survey the rest of the office to try and find out the root cause and if they have a noise issue.

Although not required by law, you should insist that any electrical firm carrying out electrical work must a member of National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contractors (NICEIC) and that the inspecting electrician has been on the relevant courses run by the council.
There is also the Electrical Contractors Association (ECA) but the NICEIC registration is much more difficult to obtain with regular work and quality inspections.
You will also find a lot of insurance companies will only accept NICEIC certificates.
