Tested, certified installations cut that risk and protect your home, your family and your insurance position. Request a quote ### Free written estimate within 24 hours. No-obligation, fixed-price quote with the certificate detail included. What happens if you delay ## The cost of putting it off. Common, concrete consequences we see across the Fylde Coast every month, not scare tactics, just what's documented. - 1 Undocumented DIY work voids your home insurance the moment it's discovered after a claim. - 2 Loose neutrals and overloaded ring finals cause slow heating in cables hidden behind plaster, often the first sign is a smell, by which point damage is done. - 3 Buying without an EICR means inheriting somebody else's electrical liabilities, often £1,500–£3,000 to put right. - 4 Old rubber and lead-sheathed cabling in 1960s Fylde Coast bungalows degrades silently and shorts when disturbed by loft insulation work. - 5 Missing RCD protection on sockets used outdoors makes electrocution from a strimmer or hedge trimmer a real possibility, not a theoretical one. Our process ## A five-step system, no surprises. 1. Step 1 ### On-site inspection We attend the property, photograph the existing installation and confirm the scope in person, never quoting blind from a phone call. 2. Step 2 ### Written diagnosis & fixed quote You receive a clear breakdown by email: what we'll do, the parts used, the certificate issued, and a fixed price with no day-rate surprises. 3. Step 3 ### Scheduled installation Booked into a confirmed slot with a named lead electrician. We turn up on time, in branded vans, with the materials on board. 4. Step 4 ### Testing & certification Every install is tested under BS 7671 and signed off with the relevant NICEIC / Part P certificate uploaded to your portal. 5. Step 5 ### Aftercare & 12-month guarantee 12 months on workmanship plus manufacturer warranties on parts. One phone number, Alex or Jack, for anything that needs revisiting. Benefits ## What you actually get. ### Insurance-grade certification Every install issued with an NICEIC EIC or Minor Works certificate, accepted by every UK home insurer and mortgage lender. ### One trip, fully tested We test as we go, not as an afterthought, so you're never waiting weeks for paperwork. ### No surprise costs Fixed-price quotes after a survey, never an hourly meter ticking on your kitchen floor. ### Minimal disruption Cables routed through voids, lofts and sub-floor wherever possible, minimal chasing, minimal replastering. ### Building Control sign-off Notifiable work (kitchens, bathrooms, full circuits) self-certified through NICEIC, no LABC fees to you. ### 12-month workmanship guarantee Anything we install, we stand behind for 12 months with a single direct phone number. Specification & method ## How we deliver, in detail. We work to BS 7671:2018 (18th Edition, Amendment 2) on every domestic project, from a single fused spur up to full rewires of 4-bed family homes in Lytham and Poulton. ### Materials & equipment - MK, Hager, Wylex and Crabtree consumer units and RCBOs, UK-manufactured metal-clad as standard since the 2016 amendment - 6242Y/6243Y twin-and-earth in 1.0, 1.5, 2.5, 4.0 and 6.0mm², Prysmian and Doncaster Cables, never grey-market imports - FP200 and FP400 fire-rated cable for any circuit serving alarm or emergency systems - Click Mode, MK Logic and Hamilton finishes for visible accessories, white, brushed steel, screwless flat plate ### Method & standards - Initial verification: continuity of CPCs and ring finals, insulation resistance, polarity, earth-loop impedance, RCD operating time - Periodic inspection sample sizes per IET Guidance Note 3, never a tick-box drive-by - Cable selection per Appendix 4 (current-carrying capacity, voltage drop, fault current withstand), sized for the load, not the cheapest spool - Earthing and bonding upgraded to current 10mm² main bonding where existing 6mm² is below standard ### Variations of this service - Minor Works (single circuit alteration), same-day certificate - Electrical Installation Certificate (new circuits, full installations) - EICR (periodic inspection of an existing installation, see dedicated EICR page) - Visual condition reports for pre-purchase quick checks ### Where it applies on the Fylde Coast - Kitchen rewires with dedicated circuits for oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine and induction - Bathroom installs respecting Zone 0/1/2 and IP44+ accessories - Garden offices and summer houses with SWA from the main board - Holiday let kitchens that need RCD-protected sockets for tenant appliances ### Residential vs commercial Domestic installs work to BS 7671 with NICEIC Domestic Installer scheme certification and Part P notification. Commercial follows the same wiring regs but adds BS EN 60439 boards, three-phase distribution and often BS 5266 emergency lighting, covered separately under commercial installation. ### Related services - [EICR Reports ](/services/eicr-reports) - [Consumer Unit Upgrades ](/services/consumer-unit-upgrades) - [Full Electrical Rewiring ](/services/full-electrical-rewiring) #### Useful links - [Northern Tec homepage](/) - [Service areas we cover](/service-areas) - [Verified client reviews](/reviews) - [Request a free estimate](/contact) Our work ## A wider look at recent Northern Tec projects.

Previous slide Next slide FAQ ## Questions we hear every week. Not seeing your question? Call us on [01253 272 451](tel:01253272451). What's the difference between an EIC and an EICR? An EIC (Electrical Installation Certificate) is issued for NEW work we install. An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an inspection of an EXISTING installation, with C1/C2/C3 coding and a satisfactory or unsatisfactory verdict. We provide both. Do I need Building Control for a kitchen rewire? How much does a single socket installation cost? Can you test and certify work done by a previous owner? Do you work in occupied homes with children at home? What's the typical time for a 3-bed rewire? Will plaster need making good? Do you provide a certificate I can give a buyer? Do you cover emergency call-outs across Blackpool & the Fylde Coast? Are you fully insured and NICEIC approved?
