Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Ellesmere Port?
The town grew around the canal basin and then around heavy industry, the refinery and the car plant, so most of the housing went up quickly in the post war decades to put workers near the gates. Post war estate housing in consistent runs, so boards of a similar age across whole streets, with older canal era property at the core.
What we tend to find: Original boards past their service life, main bonding that met the rules then and does not now, and no RCD protection on socket circuits.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Ellesmere Port
Appliance testing on estate housing is usually a landlord or a managing agent doing a block at a time, which is the sensible way to do it and the cheapest. 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.
Doing a block together keeps the price per item down and puts every certificate on the same renewal date, which saves chasing later.
Electrical Fault Finding Ellesmere Port
Where whole streets were wired at once, the same fault tends to turn up at the same age. That is useful, because it means we often know where to look first.
The usual culprits around Ellesmere Port are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: original boards past their service life, main bonding that met the rules then and does not now, and no RCD protection on socket circuits.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Ellesmere Port
An EICR is a condition report, not a pass or fail certificate. Where a street was built and wired together, the reports tend to read alike, and that is a useful warning rather than a coincidence. Everything found is coded C1, C2 or C3.
Rented property needs one every five years or at change of tenancy, whichever comes first, and most boards we condemn are well past that.
Accredited Electricians Ellesmere Port
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 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.
