Kirkby went from a village of about three thousand people to a town of over fifty thousand in ten years. Building started at Southdene in 1950, the first houses were finished in 1952 and the ten thousandth by 1961. Whole neighbourhoods were wired inside a few years of each other, so boards and cabling reach the end of their life together rather than one house at a time.
What we tend to find: Original boards well past their service life, no RCD protection on socket circuits, and main bonding that met the rules then and does not now.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Kirkby
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 Kirkby
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 the area are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: original boards well past their service life, no RCD protection on socket circuits, and main bonding that met the rules then and does not now.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Kirkby
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 Kirkby
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.
