Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Eccles?
Eccles grew on the back of the docks and the works along the canal, so the terraces are industrial era and a good share of them are rented now. Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many converted to flats, with later estate housing around the edges.
What we tend to find: Conversions sharing one original supply, rewireable boards, and rented stock certified late.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Eccles
Shared houses are where most of our appliance testing goes. A landlord supplies the white goods, the tenants bring everything else, and by the second year nobody is sure which is which. 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.
If you let a shared house, the sensible pattern is testing between tenancies while it is empty, and keeping the register with the licence paperwork.
Electrical Fault Finding Eccles
In a converted terrace the first question is always which flat the fault is actually in, because the circuits rarely stop where the front doors do.
The usual culprits around the area are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: conversions sharing one original supply, rewireable boards, and rented stock certified late.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Eccles
An EICR on a converted property has to establish what belongs to which dwelling before it can report on any of it, and that is usually the part nobody has documented. Everything found is coded C1, C2 or C3.
Each flat needs its own report. One certificate covering a whole converted building is not compliant and will not satisfy a licensing team.
Accredited Electricians Eccles
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.

Yes, led lighting installation forms a significant part of our service offering.

Commercial premises require weekly fire alarm testing by a responsible person, with comprehensive servicing every six months by qualified technicians. Our fire alarm testing service ensures your the area business meets legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. We test all detectors, sounders, and control panels, replacing batteries and faulty components as needed. Detailed records document each inspection, providing evidence of compliance during audits or insurance reviews.
What does emergency light testing involve?
Emergency lighting requires monthly function tests and annual duration tests to confirm units operate correctly during power failures. Our emergency light testing service covers both requirements, checking illumination levels, battery performance, and switching mechanisms. We test every emergency light fitting across your \1, documenting results in compliance logbooks. Failed units get identified for repair or replacement, ensuring your premises maintain safe evacuation routes during emergencies.

We complete inspections efficiently, produce legally compliant reports, and carry out any necessary remedial work quickly to avoid rental delays. Our service covers single properties through to extensive portfolios.
Do you work with HMO properties?
Yes, we regularly assist HMO electricians needs across the area. Houses in Multiple Occupation face additional electrical requirements beyond standard residential properties, including emergency lighting, fire alarm systems, and more frequent testing schedules.

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.
