Alarm and camera installationWhy Choose Our Electricians in Farnworth?
Farnworth grew on cotton and coal between Bolton and Manchester, so the older housing is dense industrial terrace. Closely packed mill era terraces, much of it rented, with later estate housing on the former industrial land.
What we tend to find: Rewireable boards, rented property certified late or not at all, and shared circuits in converted houses.
Portable Appliance (PAT) Testing Farnworth
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 Farnworth
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 the area are the ones you would expect from the age of the housing: rewireable boards, rented property certified late or not at all, and shared circuits in converted houses.
Electrical Inspections and Testing Farnworth
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 Farnworth
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.
Electricians Farnworth - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer fuseboard upgrades in Farnworth?
Yes, we provide full fuseboard upgrades right across the area. A modern consumer unit is a big improvement on an old fuse box, with RCD protection that cuts the power within milliseconds of detecting a fault. We will look over your current board, recommend the right upgrade and fit new equipment to today's standards with full certification.
Can you install LED lighting in Farnworth?
We can. Our LED lighting installation work covers homes and businesses throughout the area. LED cuts your running costs and gives a much better quality of light. We can swap LED bulbs into what you already have or design and fit a complete new lighting scheme around it.
Do you fit wifi security alarms in Farnworth?
Yes. The wifi security alarms we install let you monitor your property from your phone wherever you are. Sensors, cameras and smart controls all tie into one system. We survey the property first, recommend sensible coverage and fit everything professionally with testing and a full handover.
How often should fire alarms be tested in commercial premises?
The right fire alarm testing interval depends on your risk assessment and how the building is used. Most commercial premises need a weekly manual call point test by staff plus a full annual test by a qualified engineer. We check every detector, sounder and panel function and issue certificates for your fire safety file.
What is involved in emergency lighting testing?
Our emergency light testing confirms your backup lighting will actually work when the mains drops. We simulate a power cut and check each fitting lights up properly, gives enough light and lasts the required time. Quick monthly checks and a full annual discharge test keep you covered, and we handle the testing, paperwork and any repairs.
Can you help landlords in Farnworth stay compliant?
Yes, working with landlord electricians is a big part of what we do. We know the electrical safety rules for the private rented sector and provide testing, certification and repairs that keep you legal while keeping void periods between tenancies as short as possible.
Do you work with letting agents around Farnworth?
We support plenty of letting agent electricians who look after portfolios of properties. That means fast response times, sensible pricing on volume work and tidy invoicing. We fit around your schedules and hand over all the documentation you need for your compliance records.
What is different about HMO electrical requirements?
Houses in Multiple Occupation face tighter rules because more people share the building and its facilities. Our HMO electricians know exactly what that involves, from shorter testing intervals to enhanced fire detection and extra safety measures, and we will get your HMO up to standard with the right certification.
How fast can you get to an electrical emergency?
We prioritise urgent work across the area, so power failures, dangerous faults and critical repairs get same-day or next-day attention wherever we can manage it. Electrical problems do not keep office hours, and neither do we. Call any time and we will get to you as quickly as possible.

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.
