Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Poynton
Poynton was a colliery village before it was commuter country, and the housing reflects both, with estate building laid over the older core. Later estate housing and large extended detached property, with older village stock at the middle.
What we tend to find: Annexes and garden offices on the original supply, submains with no local protection, and tails never upgraded with the extensions.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Poynton
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.
Worth doing at the same time as the fixed wiring, so the whole property is covered by one visit and one set of records.
Electrical Fault Finding Poynton
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.
The usual culprits around the area are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: annexes and garden offices on the original supply, submains with no local protection, and tails never upgraded with the extensions.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Poynton
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.
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.
Accredited Electricians Poynton
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.

How often should I have my fire alarm tested in Poynton?
Regular fire alarm testing is essential for maintaining safety and compliance. For residential properties, we recommend monthly testing of smoke detectors using the test button.

Electrical inspection testing for emergency lighting systems includes functional tests to verify operation during power failures. Monthly tests involve briefly activating emergency mode to confirm illumination, while annual testing requires a full-duration discharge test simulating extended power outage conditions. Our technicians check battery performance, charging circuits, and light output against required standards. For commercial properties, we maintain detailed testing records to demonstrate regulatory compliance and identify maintenance requirements before critical failures occur.

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.
