Most electricians make you ring for every price. We publish ours, because you shouldn't need to book a visit to find out if you can afford the job. Every price below is fixed and confirmed in writing before a tool comes off the van.

If a job turns out bigger once we open it up, we stop, show you, and re-quote before carrying on. No "while we were in there" invoices.

Reviews

What customers say.

★★★★★
Full rewire while we were in the house. Dust sheets everywhere, hoovered up every night, finished a day early. Price didn't move from the quote.
HELEN B · CHORLEY · REWIRE
★★★★★
Did EICRs across our six rentals in one week. Reports and certificates over by email the next morning, and they chase the renewals so I don't have to. Painless.
D. OKAFOR · LEYLAND · LANDLORD
★★★★★
Board kept tripping on a Sunday night. Out within the hour, found a chewed cable in the loft, sorted. Charged what they said they would.
MARTIN S · EUXTON · CALL-OUT

Asked every week

Quick answers before you ring.

Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
Nine times out of ten: a faulty appliance, a damaged cable, or moisture in an outdoor fitting. Unplug everything on the circuit and reset. If it trips with nothing plugged in, stop and ring us; that's a wiring fault.
Do I need to rewire my house for an EV charger?
No. Most homes need at most a new dedicated circuit, sometimes a consumer unit upgrade. We quote the whole thing in one price so there are no surprises.
How fast can you do a landlord EICR?
Usually within the week, report within 24 hours. £95 per property for landlords with three or more.

Services

Priced straight. Certified always.

Every job gets a written fixed price before we start, and every notifiable job ends with the certificate in your portal the same day. No day rates that drift, no "while we're here" extras you didn't ask for.

Domestic

Rewires, boards, sockets, lighting, showers, cookers, outdoor power, smart heating wiring. The everyday work, done tidily.

Landlord & compliance

EICRs, remedials, smoke and heat detection to current regs, PAT. Multi-property discounts, and we track your renewal dates so nothing lapses.

EV & renewables

Home and workplace chargers, load management for older supplies, battery storage wiring. Grant paperwork handled where it applies.

Emergency call-out

24/7 for genuine emergencies: no power, burning smells, tripping that won't reset. Straight call-out fee quoted on the phone.

Small commercial

Periodic inspection, emergency lighting, new circuits, distribution upgrades. Out of hours so you don't close.

Fault finding

Methodical, explained as we go, and we don't leave until it's found. First hour fixed fee, then by the half hour.

Our work

Jobs we're proud of. Proof, not promises.

A gallery like this does two things a slogan can't: shows a buyer exactly the standard they'll get, and gives Google and the AI assistants real evidence to judge the business by. In your build, every frame below is a photo of your actual jobs, captioned like these.

Every job here is written up the way buyers search: what it was, where, and the detail that mattered. That's what makes a gallery pull work instead of just sitting there.

About us

Keith, Dan, and a van that's never late.

Keith Hartley wired his first house in Chorley in 1998 and never left town. His son Dan joined in 2012, NICEIC approved ever since. It's still a two-van firm on purpose: the person who quotes your job is the person who turns up to do it.

Qualified, provably

NICEIC Approved Contractor, 18th Edition, 2391 inspection and testing. Certificates issued through NICEIC, checkable by anyone.

Insured, properly

£5m public liability. Documents available on request without a fuss, because you should be asking every trade for them.

Local, actually

Based in Chorley, not a call centre with a Chorley number. If a job's too far or not our thing, we'll say so and point you at someone good.

Straight answers

The questions we get every week.

How much does an EICR cost?
£120 for a typical three-bed home, £95 per property for landlords with three or more. That includes the report within 24 hours and a fixed quote for any remedials it finds. We don't invent C2s to sell work; the report says what it says.
How long does a fuse board replacement take?
Most swaps are done in a day: power off around 8:30, back on by mid-afternoon, certificate issued the same day. Older properties needing bonding upgrades can stretch to a day and a half, and we tell you that at the quote, not on the day.
Do I need my landlord certificate renewed?
Rented properties in England need an EICR at least every five years, or sooner if the last report says so. We log the expiry date of every cert we issue and remind you before it lapses.
Can you install a car charger on an older fuse board?
Usually yes. Chargers with built-in load management work with most older supplies, and where the board genuinely can't take it we'll quote the upgrade alongside so you see the whole cost in one place.
What does a rewire cost?
A full rewire on a three-bed semi is typically £3,800 to £4,800 depending on spec and whether the house is empty. That's a fixed written price, not an estimate that grows.
Do I need to rewire my house for an EV charger?
No. Most homes need at most a new dedicated circuit, and sometimes a consumer unit upgrade. Modern chargers with built-in load management work with most older supplies. The one common exception: if you still have old rewirable fuses, a board upgrade is usually part of the job, and we quote it alongside so you see the whole cost in one place.
Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
Nine times out of ten it's a faulty appliance, a damaged cable, or moisture getting into an outdoor light or socket. Unplug everything on the affected circuit and reset the switch. If it holds, plug things back in one at a time until you find the culprit. If it trips with nothing plugged in, stop there and ring us: that's a wiring fault, and fault finding is a fixed £65 for the first hour.
What do the EICR codes C1, C2 and C3 mean?
C1: danger present, we make it safe on the spot. C2: potentially dangerous, must be fixed for the report to come back satisfactory. C3: an improvement we'd recommend, but it doesn't fail the report. FI: something needs further investigation. We don't invent C2s to sell work; the report says what it says, and every code comes with a fixed price to put it right.
How long does an EICR take?
Two to three hours for a typical three-bed home, longer if there are many circuits or access is awkward. You get the report within 24 hours, usually the same evening.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. Quotes are free, in writing, and hold for 60 days.
