Every Greater Manchester business Google lists as an electrician, borough by borough.
Closed firms, firms with no reviews and firms with no phone or website come out.
We read each firm's website and record only the services it states, from EICRs to EV chargers.
Auto electricians, wholesalers, handymen and other trades are taken off by hand.
The list started with every business Google Maps files under electrician in the ten boroughs, from Wigan to Tameside and Bolton to Stockport. Anything outside the county's postcodes came out, and so did firms marked closed, firms with no reviews yet, and firms with neither a phone number nor a website.
Then each firm's own website was read. A service is ticked on a listing only when the business says it does that work in its own words, so a blank tick means the firm hasn't said, not that it can't. Car electricians, wholesalers, builders and handymen filed under the wrong category were removed by hand, along with lead-generation lines that pass jobs to other firms.
We don't check scheme registration, qualifications or insurance. Before notifiable work such as a new circuit or a consumer unit change, look the electrician up on the Electrical Competent Person Register.
Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos. A person checks every claim. Published by Gary Graye.
Most electrical jobs in a Greater Manchester home fall into a handful of types: fault finding, extra sockets and lighting, a consumer unit change, a full or partial rewire, an EV charger, or an inspection report for a landlord or a buyer. Start by working out which one yours is, because it decides what paperwork you should get and who is allowed to sign the job off.
Under Part P of the Building Regulations in England, three kinds of work are notifiable: a new circuit, a replacement consumer unit, and any addition or alteration to circuits in a room with a bath or shower. An electrician registered with a competent person scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT can self-certify that work. If the firm isn't registered, the job has to be checked through a building control approver instead. Either way, ask before work starts, not after.
For notifiable work by a registered electrician you should receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, which shows the work was tested, and a Building Regulations compliance certificate. File both. The compliance certificate turns up in solicitors' searches when you sell, and a missing one is an awkward question at the worst moment.
Private landlords in England must have the installation inspected and tested at least every five years, give tenants a copy of the report within 28 days, and finish any remedial work within 28 days or sooner if the report says so. Manchester City Council sets penalties in bands up to £30,000. The EICR service page lists every firm here that says it does landlord inspections.
The ticks on each listing come from the firm's own website. A tick means the business says it does that work. A blank means it hasn't said, so ring and ask rather than ruling it out. Read the star rating with the review count next to it: 4.8 from 200 reviews tells you more than 5.0 from two.
Ask which scheme the electrician is registered with, then check the name on the Electrical Competent Person Register. Ask for a written quote that names the certificates you'll get at the end. For an EV charger, ask whether the firm is OZEV-authorised if you rent or own a flat, because the grant of up to £500 only applies through an authorised installer. And ask when they can start, so you can plan around the work.
Every listing starts from public business records and Google Maps, then each firm's own website is read for the services it states. We keep businesses that are open, have at least one review and have a phone number or a website. Owners can claim a listing to correct details or add photos.
No. A basic listing is free and stays free. Businesses can pay for a featured position or a premium listing, and those are marked as such.
In England, installing a new circuit, replacing a consumer unit, or adding to or altering circuits in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A registered electrician self-certifies the work. Otherwise it has to go through a building control approver.
For notifiable work by a registered electrician, an Electrical Installation Certificate and a Building Regulations compliance certificate. Keep both: the compliance certificate shows up in solicitors' searches when you sell.
Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, and give tenants a copy of the report within 28 days. Councils can fine landlords up to £30,000 for breaches.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can claim up to £500 towards a chargepoint, fitted by an OZEV-authorised installer. People who own the house they live in don't qualify. The scheme closes on 31 March 2027.
