What we do here

Our services in Knutsford

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

Why us

Why Choose Our Electricians in Knutsford

A Georgian and Victorian market town centre, much of it listed, with substantial later housing spreading out from it as the town became commuter country. Period property in the centre where cable routes are restricted, and large extended houses with annexes and garden rooms around it.

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 forCheshire East 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: Submains to annexes and outbuildings with no local protection, tails that were never upgraded with the extensions, and buried armoured cable with no record.

Appliance testing

Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Knutsford

Home offices, garden rooms and annexes account for most of the appliance testing here, often with more plugged into one circuit than anybody realises. 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.

Worth doing at the same time as the fixed wiring, so the whole property is covered by one visit and one set of records.

Fault finding

Electrical Fault Finding Knutsford

On an extended property the fault is rarely where the symptom is. A tripping breaker in the kitchen can be a garden office cable that has taken a spade.

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 Knutsford are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: submains to annexes and outbuildings with no local protection, tails that were never upgraded with the extensions, and buried armoured cable with no record.

Inspection and testing

Electrical Inspections and Testing Knutsford

An EICR covers the whole installation, which on an extended property means the annexe, the garden office and the garage as well as the house itself. 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.

If you are adding an annexe or a garden room, get the existing installation tested first. It is cheaper than finding out the supply will not carry it.

Credentials

Accredited Electricians Knutsford

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.
