We know what's behind the walls of Bolton homes

Bolton was built on cotton, and a lot of its housing still dates from the mill years. Alongside the red-brick terraces you'll find inter-war semis, post-war estates and fresh new developments – and each comes with its own electrical story. Here's what we typically find, and how we deal with it.

Halliwell · Daubhill · Deane · Tonge

Victorian & Edwardian terraces

Many have been partly rewired over the decades, often with a mix of old and new cable and very few sockets per room.

  • Full and partial rewires with minimal disruption
  • Old fuse boxes replaced with RCBO consumer units
  • Extra sockets for modern kitchens and home offices
Heaton · Smithills · Bromley Cross · Harwood

1930s–1970s semis & detached

Usually sound, but consumer units are often dated and the electrics weren't designed for extensions, EV chargers or heat pumps.

  • Consumer unit upgrades and earthing checks
  • Electrics for extensions and loft conversions
  • EV chargers and solar-ready upgrades
Horwich · Westhoughton · Lostock · Middlebrook

New builds & modern homes

Modern wiring, but owners want more: smarter lighting, outdoor power, car charging and better security.

  • EV charger and solar PV installation
  • Smart lighting, garden power and AV
  • CCTV and upgraded smoke detection

Wiring & rewiring

House rewiring in Bolton

Older Bolton terraces often have wiring that's been patched by several different people over the years. A rewire puts everything back on a safe, modern footing – with sockets where you actually need them.

  • Full and partial rewires for terraces, semis and flats
  • Typical three-bed rewire: two to four days
  • We lift and relay boards carefully and make good as we go
  • Electrical Installation Certificate on completion

Safety upgrade

Consumer unit & fuse box replacement

If you still have a rewireable fuse box, or a board with no RCD protection, it's time for an upgrade. A modern consumer unit trips in milliseconds when something goes wrong.

  • 18th Edition units with RCBO and surge protection
  • Most replacements done in around half a day
  • Earthing and bonding checked and upgraded
  • Registered with building control via NICEIC

It's hard to find tradespeople who show up when they say they will and do the job to such a high standard, but these guys delivered on both. Fair pricing and excellent communication.

FAQs

Electrician services in Bolton – your questions answered

Do you cover all of Bolton?

Yes. We cover every BL postcode in the borough – including Farnworth, Horwich, Westhoughton, Bromley Cross, Breightmet and Little Lever – as well as nearby Bury and Wigan.

Are your electricians NICEIC registered?

Yes. All of our electricians are NICEIC registered. Every job is tested and certified to BS 7671, with Part P notification for any work that legally requires it.

How often does a Bolton landlord need an EICR?

Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, and give a copy of the report to tenants. Some HMO licences can require additional checks, so it's worth confirming with the council if you let a multi-occupancy property.

How long does it take to rewire a terraced house?

A typical two or three-bed Bolton terrace usually takes two to four days, depending on access, the number of circuits and whether the property is occupied. We'll give you a realistic timeline with your quote.

Do I need to replace my old fuse box?

If you have a rewireable fuse box or a board without RCD protection, upgrading is strongly recommended. A modern consumer unit offers far better protection against electric shock and fire, and is often needed before adding an EV charger or new circuits.

Can you install an EV charger at my Bolton home?

Yes. We're OZEV approved. We'll check your supply, earthing and consumer unit capacity first, then fit the charger on your driveway or in your garage.

What should I do in an electrical emergency?

If you smell burning, see sparking or have lost power, switch off at the main switch if it's safe to do so, then call us on 07429 505778 and we'll confirm the earliest time we can get to you.

How much does an electrician cost in Bolton?

It depends on the job, so we give fixed, no-obligation quotes rather than vague hourly estimates. Tell us what you need and you'll know the full price before any work begins.
