Service overview
Electrical Services in North Wales & the North West, what you actually get.
What it is
Reactive electrical repairs (sockets, switches, faulty lighting, tripping circuits), mandatory EICRs for rental and commercial properties, fuse-board (consumer unit) upgrades to current 18th Edition standard, smoke and CO alarm installation and testing, lighting design and installation, EV charge-point installation, and 24/7 emergency callouts for power loss and unsafe-isolation situations.
Who it's for
Residential landlords meeting their five-yearly EICR obligation, letting agents responding to tenant-reported faults, block managers needing communal lighting and emergency lighting maintained, commercial property managers running planned and reactive PPM cycles, and homeowners needing one-off works on a tradesperson they can actually book.
When you need it
EICRs are required every five years for rental properties (Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020) and on every new tenancy if the existing certificate is more than five years old. Faults and emergencies, same day. Planned works (rewires, fuse board upgrades, lighting refreshes) typically need 1–3 weeks' lead time depending on parts.
Why it matters
Electrical work is the trade where cutting corners shows up six months later, sometimes as a tripping circuit, sometimes as a fire. Regulation is also at its tightest: rented properties without a valid EICR carry fines up to £30,000 per breach, and uncertified work voids most insurance policies. A qualified electrician with proper certification isn't an upgrade, it's the legal minimum.
What happens if you wait
The real cost of leaving it.
Most landlords don't think about electrics until something stops working. By then the cost has already grown, what could have been a £140 EICR has turned into a £1,400 remediation, a fine notice or an insurance dispute. Planned electrical maintenance is dramatically cheaper than the reactive version.
Risks of leaving it
- No valid EICR on a rental carries fines up to £30,000 per property under the 2020 Electrical Safety Standards Regulations.
- Tenants can apply to the council if they believe wiring is unsafe, leading to enforcement against the landlord and Rent Repayment Orders.
- DIY or uncertified electrical work voids most landlord and home insurance policies if a claim arises.
- Older fuse boards (re-wireable fuse, pre-2008 consumer units) often fail modern safety standards and need replacement on next EICR.
- Tripping circuits left 'tripped and reset' for months are usually masking a developing fault that becomes a fire risk.
- Smoke alarm regulations changed (England 2022, Wales 2022, Scotland 2022) and many landlords are unaware their existing setup no longer complies.
Common mistakes we see
- Using an uncertified electrician without Part P competence, the work isn't legal and the certificate isn't valid.
- Booking EICRs reactively after a tenant complains, instead of cycling them on the five-year statutory schedule.
- Treating an EICR 'unsatisfactory' result as a quote opportunity rather than a non-negotiable remediation, the certificate doesn't validate until C1/C2 codes are cleared.
- Mixing trades on small jobs (plumber wires the kitchen extractor, joiner adds a socket), every uncertified addition is a future EICR liability.
- Skipping smoke and CO alarms 'because the tenant has battery ones', landlord-installed compliance is the regulation, tenant batteries don't count.
- Leaving lighting and emergency-lighting maintenance on communal blocks until a tenant trips on a dark stairwell, by then it's a personal injury exposure.
Our process
How we deliver, step by step.
- 1
Booking & triage
Phone or email, we capture the property, the issue, EICR status if relevant, and book a window. Emergencies are dispatched the same day; planned work is slotted into the next available diary block.
- 2
On-site assessment
Electrician arrives, isolates safely, diagnoses the fault or carries out the inspection. Anything outside the brief is photographed and quoted before extra work starts.
- 3
Work delivered to 18th Edition standard
All repairs and installations to BS 7671 18th Edition (Amendment 2). Parts used are manufacturer-spec rather than budget substitutes, important when the EICR comes round.
- 4
Testing & verification
Test certificates (Electrical Installation Condition Report, Minor Works, or Full Installation Certificate) prepared on site and issued within 48 hours to your email.
- 5
Sign-off & documentation
Certificates uploaded to your account on our system, indexed by property, so you can pull a five-year history without searching emails. Useful when re-mortgaging, selling or evidencing compliance.
- 6
Reactive cover & recall window
30-day recall on completed work, if the same fault returns, we come back at no charge. After that, all work carries our standard maintenance terms.

Properly priced
Fixed-fee EICRs and clear hourly rates on repair work, with remediation quoted separately so you can decide what's urgent and what waits.

The detail that matters
Electrical Services: materials, methods & specifications.
Electrical work is technical, regulated and consequential, get it wrong and it kills people. Get it right and nobody notices, which is exactly the point. Here's the breadth of what we cover and where the detail actually matters.
EICR, Electrical Installation Condition Report
Mandatory five-yearly inspection for rented properties under the 2020 Regulations. The electrician tests every circuit, identifies C1 (danger present, immediate risk), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) and FI (further investigation needed) codes. C1 and C2 must be remediated for the certificate to be valid. We carry out remediation under separate quote on the same visit where possible, saves a second mobilisation fee.
Fuse board (consumer unit) upgrades
Older boards with re-wireable fuses or split-load designs from before 2008 frequently fail modern requirements (no RCD protection, no surge protection, undersized neutral). A modern 18th Edition board with full RCBO protection per circuit is the current standard and is required to clear EICR remediation in many cases. Typical job is half a day including testing and certificate.
Smoke & CO alarm compliance
England (2022 updates), Wales (2022 RHWA implementation) and Scotland (2022) all require interlinked smoke alarms on every habitable floor and CO alarms in any room with a fixed combustion appliance. Battery-only is not landlord-compliant, must be mains-wired or sealed 10-year lithium with interlink. Installed under Minor Works Certificate.
Communal & emergency lighting
Communal stairwells, lobbies and escape routes need maintained emergency lighting that activates on power loss and runs for at least three hours. Monthly function tests and annual full duration tests are required and recorded in the building log book. We run those tests as part of communal block maintenance contracts.
Lighting installation & upgrades
Domestic and commercial lighting design, LED retrofit, dimmer-compatible circuits, external security lighting, garden and amenity lighting. LED retrofit programmes pay back in 18–36 months on most commercial sites through energy and lamp replacement savings, we'll do the calculation as part of the quote.
Sockets, switches & circuit alterations
Adding sockets, moving switches, kitchen and bathroom alterations, replacing damaged accessories. Kitchens and bathrooms are notifiable work under Part P, must be certified or completed by a registered electrician. We do both as standard.
EV charging installation
Home and commercial EV charge-point installation with OZEV-eligible kit where the grant route is open to the customer. Includes load assessment (whether the existing supply can handle the charge rate), cable run, isolation, certification and registration with the DNO where required.
Emergency callouts
Whole-property power loss, persistent tripping that won't reset, smoking outlets, water-damaged installations, unsafe isolations. 24/7 response on 01244 529900, first action is always safe isolation, second is diagnosis, third is repair. We do not improvise on safety.
Every certificate, test result and remediation quote is filed against your property on our system, so a five-year compliance history is one email away, not five searches deep.
We cover North Wales, Wrexham, Rhyl, Bangor, Cheshire, Liverpool, Manchester, Lancashire, Cumbria, see our full service areas or jump back to home.
FAQ
Honest answers, before you call.
How much does an EICR cost?
+

How quickly can you book an EICR?
+
Usually within 5–10 working days. Urgent EICRs (e.g. for a new tenancy starting within the week) can often be slotted into the diary within 48 hours.
What if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?
+
We'll quote the remediation against the C1 and C2 codes. Some can be done same-day; larger works (consumer unit upgrades, partial rewires) take 1–3 days. The certificate doesn't validate until remediation is signed off.
