Your local electrician in Rochdale

Rochdale is home. It is where we are based. We work in offices, shops and industrial units around the town, in schools and public buildings and in the homes we have always looked after.

Being right here means we are quick to reach. Every job gets the same NICEIC Approved care. That might be a fit-out near the town centre, an EICR for a landlord or a rewire on a terrace. We cover the whole town and work across the North West on commercial and public-sector contracts.

Our base is in Shawclough, on the north side of town. Every part of Rochdale is close by.

Stone terraces, mill streets and tower blocks

Rochdale grew as a cotton town. Old mills still mark the skyline. Much of its housing is stone or red-brick terraces from the late 1800s and early 1900s. About 111,000 people lived in the town in 2021.

The town has several conservation areas. Rochdale Town Centre, Toad Lane, Town Head and Moorgate Avenue are among them. The Grade I listed Town Hall sits at the heart of it all.

In 1966 the College Bank flats opened. Locals call them the Seven Sisters. The seven blocks hold 761 flats. Their future is now under review.

So most of our home work here is in older terraces. They were built before homes had much power. Their wiring was added later, often in stages. Some may never have had a full rewire.

What we do in Rochdale

Electrician in Rochdale, questions answered

Is there landlord licensing in Rochdale?

There is no selective licensing for single lets. A shared house with three or more unrelated people does need a licence from Rochdale Borough Council. Every private let also needs an EICR at least every five years.

Do you work on stone terraces in Rochdale?

Yes, a lot. Solid stone walls take more planning for cable runs. We test what is there first, then tell you what needs doing.

Do you take commercial work outside Rochdale?

Yes. We take commercial and public-sector contracts right across the North West. For homes, we cover Rochdale and the towns around it.

How much does an EICR cost for a Rochdale rental?

It depends on how big the property is and how many circuits it has. A big HMO takes far longer than a one-bed flat. You get a fixed price before we book the visit.
