Common jobs
What electrical work do Wythenshawe homes need?
Upgrading the fuse box
Much of Wythenshawe was built from the 1920s to the 1950s. If your home still has an older consumer unit without RCD protection, an upgrade makes it safer and gives you room for new circuits.
Planning this? See the Rewire or new fuse box projectRewiring older houses
Houses that are now privately owned may still have original or patched wiring. A full or partial rewire puts it right, and is best done before you redecorate.
Planning this? See the Rewire or new fuse box projectExtra sockets and kitchen circuits
Older homes rarely have enough sockets for modern kitchens and bedrooms. More sockets means fewer overloaded extension leads.
EICRs for rented homes
Private landlords need an Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every five years, and many local electricians do these regularly.
Charge points for electric cars
If you have a drive, a home charger goes on its own circuit. Your installer should notify Electricity North West, the network operator for Greater Manchester.
Planning this? See the Home EV charger projectFaults and tripping
A trip switch that won't stay up, a dead socket or flickering lights are all worth getting checked quickly.

Before you hire
How do I choose a good electrician in Wythenshawe?
- 1
Check their registration
Ask which competent person scheme they're with, such as NICEIC or NAPIT, and look them up on the Competent Person Electrical Register. A registered electrician can sign off notifiable work without you applying to Manchester City Council's building control.
- 2
Ask what paperwork you'll get
New circuits come with an Electrical Installation Certificate, and small jobs with a Minor Works Certificate. Notifiable work also comes with a Building Regulations compliance certificate.
- 3
Get a quote that spells it out
Check whether it covers lifting floorboards, chasing walls and making good afterwards.
- 4
Check their insurance
Ask to see public liability insurance before work starts.
- 5
Agree how and when you'll pay
A deposit for materials is normal on a bigger job. Pay the balance once the work is tested and certified.
Qualifications to look for
- Competent person scheme: Registration with a scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT, so they can self-certify notifiable work.
- Level 3 electrical qualification: For example an NVQ Level 3 in electrotechnical services, usually backed by the AM2 practical assessment.
- Wiring Regulations (BS 7671): An up-to-date certificate in the IET Wiring Regulations, often listed as City & Guilds 2382.
- Inspection and testing: Needed for EICRs and certifying work, for example City & Guilds 2391.
- ECS card: The industry ID card that shows an electrician's qualifications and experience.
What should I ask before booking?
- Which scheme are you with, and what's your registration number?
- Have you worked on houses like mine before?
- Will you notify building control and give me the certificates?
- Does the price include making good walls and floors?
- Can my fuse box take a car charger or electric shower?
- What guarantee do you give on the work?
Your responsibilities
What do owners, landlords and renters in Wythenshawe need to know?
If you own your home
The electrics are yours to look after.
- Use a registered electrician for notifiable work
- Keep every certificate. You'll need them when you sell
- Bought a former council house? An EICR shows the state of the wiring
If you let a property
Private landlords in England have legal duties.
- Get the electrics inspected and tested at least every five years
- Give tenants a copy of the report before they move in, or within 28 days of the inspection
- Arrange any remedial work the report calls for, usually within 28 days
If you rent
The wiring is your landlord's responsibility.
- Housing association tenants: report faults to your landlord's repairs team
- Private tenants: ask for a copy of the latest EICR
- Don't change the wiring yourself
What should I do in an electrical emergency in Wythenshawe?
Get an electrician out as soon as you can if you notice:
- A burning smell, or brown marks on a socket or switch
- Buzzing or crackling from a socket or the fuse box
- A trip switch that won't stay up
- Water near lights, sockets or the consumer unit
If it's safe, switch off at the consumer unit and keep away from anything wet or damaged. If you rent from a housing association, call their emergency repairs line. Out-of-hours call-outs cost more, so ask the price first.

Questions
Questions about electricians in Wythenshawe
Which electricians cover Wythenshawe?
The electricians listed on this page all say they cover Wythenshawe and the M22 and M23 postcodes, including Baguley, Benchill, Sharston and Woodhouse Park. Many also work in Northenden, Sale and Didsbury, so check the nearby areas too.
I rent from a housing association. Can I book my own electrician?
Usually not. The wiring and fixed electrics are your landlord's responsibility, so report faults to their repairs team. Check your tenancy agreement before you arrange any work yourself.
Do I need building regulations approval for a new fuse box?
Yes. A new consumer unit is notifiable work in England. A registered electrician will notify building control and give you a compliance certificate. Otherwise you need to apply to Manchester City Council's building control before work starts.
How much is a rewire for a house in Wythenshawe?
Recent cost guides put a full rewire of a two-bed house in Manchester at around £4,500, and a three-bed at around £6,500. Get two or three written quotes.
Can I have an EV charger fitted?
Yes, if you have off-street parking. The charger needs its own circuit and is notifiable work, so use a registered electrician or EV installer. They should notify Electricity North West for you.
What should I do if the power goes off on my street?
Call 105, the free power cut number. If it's only your home, check the consumer unit first. If something has tripped and won't reset, call an electrician, or your landlord if you rent.
I'm an electrician based in Wythenshawe. Can I list my business?
Yes. A basic listing on Houzie is free. Add your business, choose Wythenshawe and the other areas you cover, and we'll check your details and publish your listing.
