24/7 · North West
Boarding houses turned into flats along the Blackpool front, terraced streets across Bolton, Oldham and Wigan, waterfront apartments in Liverpool and Manchester, and Cheshire houses carrying far more than the original supply ever expected. Twelve towns across four counties, and an electrician on call in all of them at every hour of the night.

What we do
Breakers that will not reset, nuisance tripping, or an MCB that has failed outright — often the first sign a circuit is carrying more than it was built for.
Sockets, lighting, circuits and connections put right and tested before we leave, in houses, flats, guest houses and small commercial premises.
Traced with test equipment rather than guessed at — including installations that have been extended four times by four different people.
Dead lighting circuits, flickering fittings, failed transformers, and the landing and stairwell lighting in houses split into several flats.
Consumer units and distribution boards: loose terminals, burnt busbars, failed RCDs and full board replacements.
Same-hour callout across all twelve towns and the areas around them, 24 hours a day.
Treat this as urgent. Switch the circuit off at the board if you safely can, then call — we prioritise these above everything else.
Sparking, buzzing, scorched or warm to the touch. Faulty accessories isolated and replaced on the spot.
We split the circuits down to find what is pulling the board out, rather than leaving you resetting it all night.
Twelve towns across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Merseyside and Cheshire — postcode areas BB, BL, CH, FY, L, LA, M, OL, PR, SK, WA and WN, plus the areas around them. Call 02034112027 and we will tell you how long we will be before you commit to anything.
Working in the North West
The recurring problem here is load. Along the Blackpool front, Victorian boarding houses have been carved into guest houses, flats and bedsits, each room given its own electric shower and very often its own kitchen — all of it hanging off an intake that was sized for one family some time before the First World War. Nothing is wrong with any single circuit. It is the eleventh one that does the damage, and it only shows itself when the building is full.
Out through Cheshire and the Manchester fringe the same story arrives from the opposite direction. A hot tub here, a garden room there, an annexe, a workshop, a car charger, each added in a different year by a different person, and nobody ever stood back and added it all up. When the main switch goes in a house like that, the useful question is rarely “what is broken” — it is “what went in last”.
And in the terraced towns — Bolton, Oldham, Wigan, Blackburn, Preston — a great deal of stock is now in multiple occupancy, with a kitchen on each floor and meters fitted wherever there happened to be room. Four counties is a wide spread, so our electricians are based across the region rather than sent out from one depot: a call in Lancaster is not waiting on a van leaving Chester.

North West FAQ
Can’t see yours here? Call and ask — someone picks up at any hour of the day or night.
Dial 105 free from any phone and you will be routed to whichever network operator covers your postcode — Electricity North West across Greater Manchester and Lancashire, and SP Energy Networks across Merseyside and Cheshire. A fault affecting several properties is theirs to fix, and nobody should charge you to tell you that. If your property alone is dark, it is ours.
Then the installation is probably fine and the demand is the problem. Electric showers are among the heaviest things in any building, and a house with eight of them behaves nothing like the one it was wired as. We measure what is actually being drawn, tell you whether the main fuse, the tails or a particular circuit is the limit, and set out what would have to change — before you spend anything.
Hot tubs, car chargers, garden rooms and annexes are the usual suspects, and it is almost never the newest item that is faulty — it is that the installation was never added up. We will tell you whether it is a genuine fault, a circuit sharing an RCD it should not be, or simply more load than the supply allows. All three have different answers and only one of them is expensive.
That is the service cut-out, it is sealed, and it belongs to the network operator — not to us and not to you. Never cut a seal or attempt to change it. Ring 105 and they will attend. What we can do is find out why it blew, because a main fuse rarely goes without a reason, and replacing it without finding the cause just means it goes again.
The twelve are where our electricians are based, not a boundary, and we cover a good way beyond each of them — north of Lancaster included. Give us the postcode when you call and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you and how long it will take, rather than taking the job and leaving you waiting.
