Why us

Why Choose Our Electricians in West Kirby?

The mid Victorian villa building spread out from the old cores at West Kirby, Birkenhead and Heswall, and the marine lake wall went up in 1899. Substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses, many of them split into flats, plus seafront property that takes weather the inland stock never sees.

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 forWirral 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: Corrosion at external fittings, and conversions where one original supply now feeds several dwellings with no proper separation.

Appliance testing

Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing West Kirby

Holiday lets and guest accommodation drive most of the appliance testing here, and salt air is hard on flexes and plugs in a way inland property never shows. 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.

Between lets is the easy window, and a register handed to a guest or an agent answers the question before it is asked.

Fault finding

Electrical Fault Finding West Kirby

Damp and salt get into external fittings and junctions long before anything shows indoors, so a fault here often starts outside the building.

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: corrosion at external fittings, and conversions where one original supply now feeds several dwellings with no proper separation.

Inspection and testing

Electrical Inspections and Testing West Kirby

An EICR on exposed property pays particular attention to external fittings and to anything mounted on a wall that takes the weather. 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.

Holiday lets change hands often enough that a report at each turnover is the simplest way to stay on top of it.

Credentials

Accredited Electricians West Kirby

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.

Yes, we offer a 24/7 rapid response emergency electrician service across the area for critical power failures, faults or component damage needing immediate repair. This includes services like PAT testing, fault finding and electrical inspections.

Rated 4.9 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.
