We install, alter, repair and test all of it across Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Stockport and the wider Greater Manchester area. Most calls start small: a socket that has stopped working, a light fitting that needs replacing, an extension that needs power. Others are planned projects: a kitchen refit needing new circuits, a loft conversion, a garden office, a rented property that needs certifying before a tenant moves in. Whichever it is, the job is priced before it begins, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay unless you ask us to add work. With 12 years across domestic, commercial and industrial installations, we treat a single socket the same way we treat a rewire: correct cable, correct protection, correct testing, paperwork issued. Notifiable domestic work is certified under our NICEIC Domestic Installer registration, and we carry £5 million public liability cover on every visit. ### Why professional work matters here Domestic circuits are protected on assumptions: cable size, route, insulation, earthing and the breaker in front of them all have to match. Get one wrong and the protection you are relying on does not operate when it needs to. A qualified electrician tests the circuit rather than trusting that it looks right. ### Who it's for - Homeowners planning kitchens, extensions, loft conversions or garden rooms - Landlords who need work completed and certified between tenancies - Buyers and sellers acting on a survey or condition report - Builders and joiners who need a reliable electrician on site ### When it's needed - Sockets, switches or lights have stopped working - You need extra power points instead of extension leads - A room is being altered, replastered or refitted - The consumer unit is an old fuse box with rewireable fuses - Wiring is rubber, fabric or lead sheathed and has never been replaced What happens if it's left ## The cost of leavingdomestic wiring alone Household wiring rarely fails suddenly. A loose terminal warms up over months, discolours, then chars the plastic around it. A nail through a cable sits harmlessly until damp reaches the copper. A breaker that trips 'now and again' is telling you a fault is already present and only intermittently strong enough to be detected. By the time there is a smell of hot plastic or a scorch mark round a socket, the repair is no longer a terminal and ten minutes of labour; it is a length of cable inside a finished wall, and often decoration on top of it. Insurers also ask questions after an electrical fire, and unsatisfactory installations get pointed at quickly. The cheaper failure is the slow one: a house with too few sockets, trailing leads under rugs, a shower on an undersized supply, or an old board with no RCD protection on circuits feeding outdoor equipment. Nothing breaks, but the risk sits there for years and the eventual bill is bigger than the one avoided. ### Common mistakes we're called to fix - Adding sockets to a ring circuit without checking what the circuit already carries - Fitting downlights into insulation without fire hoods or the correct rating - Using indoor accessories outside because they were to hand - Assuming a tripping breaker is faulty rather than doing its job - Paying for work with no certificate, then needing it during a sale Our process ## Five stages, every job,from enquiry to certificate - Step 1 ### Enquiry and answer Call, message or send the form. We reply within 1–2 hours during working hours and ask enough questions to know what the job actually involves. - Step 2 ### Survey and fixed quotation For anything beyond a straightforward repair we look at the installation, check the board, the circuits and the access, then quote in writing before any work starts. - Step 3 ### Installation Cables run on safe routes and zones, accessories fitted level, floors and furniture protected, dust kept down and the property left usable at the end of each day. - Step 4 ### Testing and verification Continuity, insulation resistance, polarity, earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation are all measured with calibrated instruments, not assumed from the fact that the light comes on. - Step 5 ### Certification and guarantee Results are recorded on the appropriate certificate, notifiable work is registered, the site is cleared, and the work carries our guarantee. 12-month workmanship guarantee when materials are supplied by us and no other contractor has worked on the installation beforehand. What you get out of it ## The difference between doneand done properly ### Answered quickly Enquiries get a reply within 1–2 hours in working hours, so you are not chasing an electrician for a week to find out whether the job can be done. ### Safe by measurement Every circuit we touch is tested with calibrated instruments and the readings are recorded, so the protection in front of it is proven to work. ### Built to last Correct cable size, correct fixings, correct glands and enclosures. Installations we finish are designed to outlive the decoration that goes over them. ### Lower running costs Where it makes sense we move you onto LED lighting and properly rated circuits, so you are not paying for heat coming off old fittings. ### No surprise invoices The price is agreed before work begins. If something hidden turns up, we stop, explain it and price it before continuing. ### Paperwork in hand Certificates are issued on completion, which matters when you sell, remortgage, let the property or make a claim. In detail ## What domestic workactually involves Materials matter more than most homeowners expect. Standard flat twin and earth is used for concealed circuits, with fire-rated fixings where cables run above ceilings and mechanical protection where they pass through joists or studs. Heat-resistant flex is used at light fittings, SWA cable for supplies to garages, garden offices and outbuildings, and correctly rated grommets and glands wherever a cable enters an enclosure. Accessories are chosen to suit the room: IP-rated in bathrooms and outdoors, metal-clad in garages and workshops. Methods follow BS 7671. Cables in walls are run in safe zones or given mechanical protection, socket circuits are designed around realistic loads instead of the maximum that will fit, and additional protection by RCD is provided where the regulations require it. Bathroom work is set out by zone: what can be installed where, supplementary bonding considerations, and pull-cord or external switching rather than a switch within reach of the bath. Larger domestic projects are staged. First fix goes in while walls are open: cable runs, back boxes, drops for sockets and switches, feeds for the kitchen, the shower and any outside supply. Second fix follows decoration: accessories fitted, fittings hung, board terminated, then a full test and certificate. Staging it this way avoids chasing finished plaster and keeps the trades in the right order. ### Variations of this service Additional sockets and circuitsNew points added to existing circuits after checking the load, or a new dedicated circuit installed where the existing one has nothing left to give.
