Why us

Why Choose Our Electricians in Croxteth?

Croxteth is corporation estate housing built out across the old hall estate, so whole neighbourhoods went up to one plan in a short period. Post war estate housing of a consistent age, with a lot of right to buy homes the council last wired.

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 forLiverpool City 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: Original boards past their service life, no RCD protection on socket circuits, and main bonding that met the rules then and does not now.

Appliance testing

Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Croxteth

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.

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.

Doing a block together keeps the price per item down and puts every certificate on the same renewal date, which saves chasing later.

Fault finding

Electrical Fault Finding Croxteth

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.

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 the area are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: original boards past their service life, no RCD protection on socket circuits, and main bonding that met the rules then and does not now.

Inspection and testing

Electrical Inspections and Testing Croxteth

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.

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.

Rented property needs one every five years or at change of tenancy, whichever comes first, and most boards we condemn are well past that.

Credentials

Accredited Electricians Croxteth

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.
