Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Bolton?
Steam power let the mills sit in the town rather than beside a river, which is why the terraces here are packed as tightly as they are around the surviving mill buildings. Closely packed mill era terraces, weavers' cottages with loom shop windows, and converted mills now in residential or light commercial use.
What we tend to find: Rewireable boards still in service, mill conversions on supplies sized for industry rather than flats, and rented stock certified late or not at all.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Bolton
Rented terraces and small commercial units make up most of the appliance testing here, usually because a licence or an insurer has asked for the paperwork. 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.
Priced per item with no minimum call out, and the register is yours to hand straight to an inspector or an insurer.
Electrical Fault Finding Bolton
Older terraces hide their joints. Buried connections with no access are the most common cause of an intermittent fault we get called to.
The usual culprits around Bolton are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: rewireable boards still in service, mill conversions on supplies sized for industry rather than flats, and rented stock certified late or not at all.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Bolton
An EICR is a condition report, not a pass or fail certificate. On older rented stock it is also the document that decides whether a property can be let at all. Everything found is coded C1, C2 or C3.
Rented property needs one every five years or at change of tenancy, whichever comes first, and the report goes to the tenant within 28 days.
Accredited Electricians Bolton
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.
