Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Manchester
The city centre emptied of people and then refilled. Warehouses and mills that sat idle for decades were turned into apartments from the nineties onwards, which is why so much of the housing here is a conversion rather than a build. Converted warehouses and mills alongside dense Victorian terraces in the inner suburbs, a lot of both in shared or rented occupation.
What we tend to find: Conversions on supplies sized for industry rather than homes, alarm systems fitted to the wrong grade for how a building is actually occupied, and shared circuits between flats.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Manchester
Shared houses are where most of our appliance testing goes. A landlord supplies the white goods, the tenants bring everything else, and by the second year nobody is sure which is which. Every appliance gets a visual inspection first, because most faults are found by looking at the plug, the flex and the casing rather than by the tester.
If you let a shared house, the sensible pattern is testing between tenancies while it is empty, and keeping the register with the licence paperwork.
Electrical Fault Finding Manchester
In a converted terrace the first question is always which flat the fault is actually in, because the circuits rarely stop where the front doors do.
The usual culprits around Manchester are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: conversions on supplies sized for industry rather than homes, alarm systems fitted to the wrong grade for how a building is actually occupied, and shared circuits between flats.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Manchester
An EICR on a converted property has to establish what belongs to which dwelling before it can report on any of it, and that is usually the part nobody has documented. Everything found is coded C1, C2 or C3.
Each flat needs its own report. One certificate covering a whole converted building is not compliant and will not satisfy a licensing team.
Landlord Electrical Compliance in Manchester
Rented property carries a fixed set of duties, and they do not move because a tenancy is short or the building is small. An EICR every five years or at change of tenancy, a copy to the tenant within 28 days, and the remedials closed out.
The penalty for breaching the electrical safety standards rose to 40,000 pounds per breach in November 2025, which makes the inspection the cheap part.
Accredited Electricians Manchester
Accreditation is the part most people never check, and it is the part that decides whether your certificate is worth anything. Our electricians in the area work under a scheme that audits the work, not just the paperwork.
NAPIT approved contractor, member 66463
Assessed on real jobs, not a desk exercise. Our registration can be checked on the NAPIT register before you let anyone near your board.
Registered Competent Person
The scheme that lets us self certify notifiable work and register it with building control, so you are not chasing a separate certificate.
Part P registered
Domestic work is notified properly, which matters the day you sell the property and a solicitor asks for the paperwork.
Fully insured, with every job certified
Public liability in place on every visit, and an EICR or installation certificate issued at the end of it rather than weeks later.
If you want to see the certificates before booking, ask. Our electricians would rather you checked.

Rated 5.0 by homeowners and landlords
Word of mouth is still where most of the work comes from, and that only happens if the job is done right and the price is what we said it would be.
We needed PAT tests done at short notice and he did a great job. Highly recommend DH Electrical Services and I will definitely be using them again.
Dave was quick to respond and gave a very reasonable price. Lee came to carry out the work and did a very tidy and thorough job on a bank holiday Monday.
Dave and his team are fantastic and I highly recommend them. They have worked on 3 separate jobs for us so far as we slowly modernise our home.
Great service from Dave and his team. Friendly and did a great job. Needed power and plugs installing. Finished in two days. Would definitely recommend.
