EICR Electrical Safety Inspections in Saddleworth

£150 plus VAT for any domestic property across Saddleworth - Uppermill, Greenfield, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, and Denshaw. Same day certificates. No travel charges from Prestwich.

Stone-built properties and their quirks

Many Saddleworth homes are older stone-built properties, and their electrics reflect that. Thick stone walls mean wiring routes can be unconventional - cables may follow unexpected paths through the building because chasing into stone isn't as simple as brick. Earthing arrangements in stone properties sometimes differ from standard brick-built homes, and we occasionally find moisture-related issues where stone walls meet electrical installations.

Properties that have been through multiple rounds of renovation - and most Saddleworth homes have - can end up with a patchwork of different-era wiring. A proper EICR sorts through what's been done when and tells you whether any of it needs attention.

For buyers - £393k average means the stakes are higher

Saddleworth's premium property prices mean you're making a major investment. Hidden electrical issues in older stone properties can be expensive to put right - £150 for an EICR before purchase is cheap insurance against discovering a £3,000-5,000 rewiring need after you've completed.

Older stone cottages and converted farm buildings in particular can harbour surprises. We'd rather find them before your money changes hands.

For landlords

EICR every 5 years plus one for each new tenant. Fines up to £30,000 for non-compliance. If you're also considering solar panels to meet the 2030 EPC C deadline, start with an EICR - it identifies whether consumer unit or wiring upgrades are needed before a solar system can be connected.

What's included

Full visual inspection of all accessible electrical installations. Calibrated testing - continuity, insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance, RCD operation checks. Same day certificate with clear explanations of any findings.

    Solar installation

    We were looking for an off grid solar installation for our allotment. Renegade gave us a very good quote for the job and so we chose them. This turned out to be a great decision. Ashley did a site inspection and we tweaked the initial design to better suit our location. The installation went ahead on the planned date and the work was completed to a very high standard. We had some additional work carried out at the same time, some due to Ashleys recommendation (e.g. swapping our lighting for LED). I highly recommend Renegade as a trustworthy and competent company.

    Renegade Electricals - Exceptional service!

    In a word...outstanding! Renegade Electricals installed a 10 panel PV system with battery/inverter for us and we're extremely happy with it. Ashley was easy to deal with, reassuring and very professional providing full documentation and keeping us informed throughout the process. His customer service was exceptional and technical knowledge formidable. The panels, even in winter in the grim/grey north west, are producing impressive stats and its great entertainment watching the Alpha-ESS app showing the panels filling the battery up during the day, then discharging in the evening. RECOMMENDED!
