Electricians who understand Manchester's housing
The wiring in a house tells you when it was last cared for. The Victorian terraces of Chorlton, Withington and Levenshulme were often rewired in the 1960s or 1970s and have been added to piecemeal ever since, with a spur here and a new kitchen circuit there. The 1930s semis of Didsbury, Sale and Cheadle frequently still carry a rewirable fuse board in the hall cupboard. The new-build apartments in Ancoats and the Northern Quarter are modern and well documented, but their appliances and consumer units are now reaching the age where faults begin.
Our electricians work across all of it. They trace faults rather than resetting them, replace fuse boards with metal-clad consumer units, rewire houses with the walls made good afterwards, inspect and report for landlords and buyers, and repair the appliances that keep a household running. Every piece of notifiable work is certified and registered with Building Control.
Planned work at planned rates
The emergency electrician page covers total power loss, burning smells and boards that will not reset, with an electrician on the way within 60 minutes. This page is for everything that can be booked. That includes fault finding and repairs, fuse boards and consumer units, rewiring, EICR reports for landlords and homebuyers, and appliance repair.
Daytime rates and out-of-hours rates are both published on our pricing page. They are not the same, and we would rather you knew that before you called than after. Whatever the hour, the price is confirmed before an electrician is dispatched.
The jobs we do most
In a typical week our electricians replace a rewirable fuse board in a Sale semi with a metal-clad consumer unit, trace an RCD trip in Chorlton to a damp outside light, produce EICRs for a letting agent's portfolio in Fallowfield and Withington, fit a dedicated circuit for a car charger in Hale, and replace the element in an oven in an Ancoats apartment. None of it is glamorous. All of it is tested, certified and written up so that the next electrician, or the next buyer, can see what was done and when.
Commercial customers, from cafes in the Northern Quarter to offices in Altrincham, get the same electricians and the same paperwork, with inspections done out of hours where a business cannot lose power in the day. Landlords and letting agents with several properties can see how we handle portfolios on our landlords page.
A word on safety
Electricity does not give second chances in the way a dripping tap does. If a socket smells of burning, if a circuit trips again as soon as it is reset, or if lights dim when an appliance starts, stop using the circuit and call 07343 065023. Please do not remove the cover of the consumer unit or attempt a repair inside it. Our guides on why your electrics keep tripping and a burning smell from a socket explain what the symptoms usually mean and when to stop and call.
