Why us

Why Choose Our Electricians in Stretford?

The Ship Canal opened in 1894 and Trafford Park went up beside it two years later as the first planned industrial estate of its kind. Seventy five thousand people worked there at the 1945 peak, and the housing around it went up to match. Late Victorian and early twentieth century terraces built for industrial labour, much of it rented now.

We quote before we start, in writingAn itemised price with the remedial work priced separately, so nothing lands on the invoice that was not agreed.
The same electrician start to finishYou are not handed between a salesman, a subcontractor and an office.
Certificates issued within 24 hoursNot a fortnight later when the agent is chasing and the tenancy is waiting.
We know what the council asks forTrafford Council wants the paperwork a particular way, and getting it wrong means doing it twice.
Tidy on site, boards back onDust sheets down, mess taken with us, and the property left as we found it.

What we tend to find: Rewireable boards, shared circuits in converted houses, and rented property certified late or not at all.

Appliance testing

Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Stretford

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.

Visual inspection on every itemDamaged flex, cracked casings, scorch marks at the pins and badly wired plugs.
Earth continuity and insulation resistanceThe electrical tests that prove a class I appliance is actually safe to use.
Priced per item, with no minimum call out gamesYou get a figure before we arrive, and an asset register after.
Labelled, logged and datedSo the next person to ask, an inspector or an insurer, can see it at a glance.

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.

Fault finding

Electrical Fault Finding Stretford

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.

We test rather than guessInsulation resistance and loop testing to find the circuit, then the point on it.
Live fault finding where it is safe toSome faults only show under load, so the board cannot simply be switched off.
Fixed the same visit wherever possibleWe carry the common parts, so a found fault is usually a repaired fault.
A written explanation of the causeNot just that it is fixed, but what caused it and whether it will come back.

The usual culprits around Stretford are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: rewireable boards, shared circuits in converted houses, and rented property certified late or not at all.

Inspection and testing

Electrical Inspections and Testing Stretford

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.

Every circuit tested, not a sampleContinuity, insulation resistance, polarity and earth fault loop impedance.
Codes explained in plain EnglishWhat has to be done, what should be done, and what can safely be left.
Remedials priced separatelyYou are free to take the report elsewhere. We would rather you trusted the coding.
Landlord copies sent within 24 hoursInside the 28 day window the regulations give you to hand it to a tenant.

Each flat needs its own report. One certificate covering a whole converted building is not compliant and will not satisfy a licensing team.

Credentials

Accredited Electricians Stretford

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.

What people say

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.

EW Emma WoodPAT testing

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.

JS John SellarsElectrical work

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.

BL Becky LlewellynRepeat customer

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.
