Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Allerton?
Mostly inter war semis and larger Victorian and Edwardian villas along the main roads, with a steady run of loft and rear extensions on top of them. Boards that have been added to a circuit at a time, so you get a modern RCBO sitting next to wiring that is sixty years old.
What we tend to find: Extension circuits run off an existing ring, undersized tails, and old rubber insulated cable surviving in ceiling voids.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Allerton
Most of the appliance testing we do here is for people working from home or running something small out of a spare room, where the insurer has asked a question nobody expected. 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 are not sure whether your kit needs doing, send a list and we will tell you straight rather than testing things that do not need it.
Electrical Fault Finding Allerton
A breaker that trips every time it rains, or only when the shower runs, is telling you something specific. In a house that has been extended, it is usually the newest circuit at fault, not the oldest.
The usual culprits around Allerton are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: extension circuits run off an existing ring, undersized tails, and old rubber insulated cable surviving in ceiling voids.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Allerton
An EICR is a condition report, not a pass or fail certificate. On a house that has been added to over the years it is also the only document that shows what is actually installed. Everything found is coded C1, C2 or C3.
Rented property needs one every five years or at change of tenancy. Owner occupiers are not obliged, but ten years is the usual advice.
Accredited Electricians Allerton
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.
Electricians Allerton - Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my electrics tested?
For domestic properties, we recommend having an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) completed every 5-10 years at a minimum. This tests your home's fixed wiring and electrics. Commercial testing frequencies vary depending on property type and industry-specific regulations. Our electricians provide advice on testing timescales during consultations.
What certification do your electricians provide on completion of works?
Our electricians issue full detailed reports after all testing and inspections. These certify overall electrical safety status, provide recommendations for any remedial actions, and clearly document any observations. Common completion certificates include Electrical Installation Certificates (EICs) and NICEIC Inspection & Testing documents.
Can you PAT test appliances on my factory floor?
Yes, our electricians frequently PAT test industrial equipment and workplace appliances across factory floors and warehouses in the region. We work flexibly around production schedules to check goods lifts, assembly lines, forklifts, power tools and more.
Why do my lights dim when using kitchen appliances?
Dimming lights often indicate overloaded electrical circuits or an undersized mains supply to your property. An electrician will complete load testing to assess the actual power demand versus the incoming supply capacity. Upgrading to a higher supply or installing extra circuits can help resolve this.

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.
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.
