Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Helsby
Helsby grew around the works and the railway beneath its hill, so its housing is largely twentieth century with an older village core. Estate and ribbon housing of a consistent age, with older property at the centre and outbuildings on submains.
What we tend to find: Boards of a similar age street after street, submains to garages and outbuildings, and extensions off existing rings.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Helsby
A lot of the appliance testing round here involves outbuildings, workshops and garden offices, where kit lives in damp and cold that an office never sees. 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.
Outbuildings are worth including. They are where the oldest extension leads and the most tired tools tend to end up.
Electrical Fault Finding Helsby
Faults on a property with outbuildings almost always sit on the submain rather than in the house, and testing from the right end saves hours.
The usual culprits around the area are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: boards of a similar age street after street, submains to garages and outbuildings, and extensions off existing rings.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Helsby
An EICR here has to take in the outbuildings, not just the house. A garage or annexe on its own submain is part of the installation and gets tested as one. Everything found is coded C1, C2 or C3.
Worth booking before winter, because an outbuilding fault found in November is a different job to the same fault found in June.
Accredited Electricians Helsby
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 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.
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.
