We work right across the wider area as well, so if you are outside the immediate district have a look at our electricians in Manchester page for the full picture of what we cover.

Why us

Why Choose Our Electricians in Eccles?

Eccles grew on the back of the docks and the works along the canal, so the terraces are industrial era and a good share of them are rented now. Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted to flats, with later estate housing around the edges.

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 forSalford City 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: Conversions sharing one original supply, rewireable boards, and rented stock certified late.

Appliance testing

Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Eccles

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 Eccles

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 the area are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: conversions sharing one original supply, rewireable boards, and rented stock certified late.

Inspection and testing

Electrical Inspections and Testing Eccles

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 Eccles

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.

Questions

Electricians Eccles - Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer fuseboard upgrades in Eccles?

Absolutely. We regularly carry out fuseboard upgrades across the area, replacing outdated fuse boxes with modern consumer units featuring RCD protection and MCBs. Upgrading improves safety dramatically, providing better protection against electric shocks and reducing fire risks. Modern consumer units also offer greater flexibility, accommodating additional circuits as your electrical needs expand. We'll assess your current installation, recommend appropriate upgrades, and complete work with full certification.

Do you offer LED lighting installation in Eccles?

Yes, led lighting installation forms a significant part of our service offering. LED lighting cuts energy consumption substantially whilst providing better illumination quality and lasting far longer than traditional bulbs. We install LED downlights, panels, strip lighting, and external LED fixtures throughout the area properties. Whether you're upgrading existing lighting or planning installations for new spaces, our electricians will design efficient solutions matching your requirements and budget.

Do you offer wifi security alarm installation in Eccles?

Certainly. Our wifi security alarms provide contemporary protection you can monitor remotely via smartphone apps. These systems alert you immediately to intrusions, even when you're away from your \1. We install wireless alarms requiring minimal cable runs, reducing installation time and disruption. You'll receive full training on system operation, ensuring you can arm, disarm, and configure settings confidently. We also provide ongoing support if questions arise after installation.

How often should fire alarm testing be conducted in commercial properties?

Commercial premises require weekly fire alarm testing by a responsible person, with comprehensive servicing every six months by qualified technicians. Our fire alarm testing service ensures your the area business meets legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We test all detectors, sounders, and control panels, replacing batteries and faulty components as needed. Detailed records document each inspection, providing evidence of compliance during audits or insurance reviews.

What does emergency light testing involve?

Emergency lighting requires monthly function tests and annual duration tests to confirm units operate correctly during power failures. Our emergency light testing service covers both requirements, checking illumination levels, battery performance, and switching mechanisms. We test every emergency light fitting across your \1, documenting results in compliance logbooks. Failed units get identified for repair or replacement, ensuring your premises maintain safe evacuation routes during emergencies.

Can you help landlords with electrical compliance?

Definitely. We work extensively with landlord electricians requirements, providing EICRs and remedial work ensuring rental properties meet current regulations. Since April 2021, landlords must obtain electrical safety certificates every five years for residential tenancies. We complete inspections efficiently, produce legally compliant reports, and carry out any necessary remedial work quickly to avoid rental delays. Our service covers single properties through to extensive portfolios.

Do you work with HMO properties?

Yes, we regularly assist HMO electricians needs across the area. Houses in Multiple Occupation face additional electrical requirements beyond standard residential properties, including emergency lighting, fire alarm systems, and more frequent testing schedules. We understand these enhanced regulations and ensure HMO properties achieve full compliance. Our electricians can also advise on electrical upgrades needed when converting properties to HMO use.

Can letting agents use your services?

Absolutely. We provide comprehensive electrical services for letting agent electricians managing properties throughout the area and surrounding areas. We understand the pressures letting agents face maintaining multiple properties whilst minimising void periods.
