Based in Wath upon Dearne, your electrician is on the doorstep
We did not move into Wath to chase the work, we started here. Our base is in the town, our team lives locally, and most days you will find us on jobs somewhere across the Dearne Valley.
For you that means two things: we know the area and its houses inside out, and we are rarely far away when you need us. There is no long drive tacked onto your quote, and for anything urgent we can usually be with you the same day.
Wath grew up around its old colliery and railway roots, and that shows in the housing. You will find rows of solid Victorian and Edwardian terraces, big interwar and postwar estates, and pockets of newer build all within a few streets of each other.
Each comes with its own electrical quirks, and after two decades working on them we can normally tell what we are dealing with before the cover is off the consumer unit.
The electrical work we do most around Wath
In the older terraces and ex-council homes, a lot of what we do is bringing tired installations up to a safe, modern standard. That means rewires and new consumer units where the old wiring or fuse board has had its day, extra sockets so people are not living off extension leads, and proper outdoor power and lighting.
If your fuse board still has rewireable fuses or no RCD protection, it is worth getting looked at, and we will tell you honestly whether it needs replacing now or can safely wait.
We also do a lot of testing. An EICR or electrical safety check is the sensible first step if you are buying a house in Wath, have just moved in, or simply have not had the electrics looked at in years. On the newer side, home EV charger installations keep us busy as more drivers on the estates around town switch to electric.
Solar is picking up too. With energy prices where they are, more Wath homeowners ask us about solar panels and battery storage, and we will give you a straight answer on whether your roof and your usage actually make it worth the outlay, rather than selling you a system you do not need.
When something trips, cuts out or stops working
Not everything is planned. If your lights keep flickering, a socket has stopped working, the RCD keeps tripping and dropping your power, or you have lost a circuit altogether, that is our bread and butter.
We find the actual fault rather than papering over it, tell you what caused it, and put it right. For anything that feels unsafe, like a burning smell, a scorched socket or a hot cable, switch it off at the board and call us, and we will treat it as urgent.
Landlords: EICRs and safety certificates in the Dearne Valley
There is a good amount of rented property in and around Wath, and if you let a home out you are legally required to have the fixed wiring inspected at least every five years and to give your tenants a satisfactory EICR.
We do landlord testing across the Dearne Valley, turn the certificate around promptly, and where something fails we can quote to put it right rather than leaving you chasing a second trade. If you run several properties locally, we are happy to work through them on a schedule that suits you.
Homes and businesses, one local team
It is not only houses. Wath and the nearby commercial areas like Manvers and Cortonwood are full of small businesses, offices and units, and we look after plenty of them: lighting, power, testing, fault-finding and fit-out work, all to the same standard as our domestic jobs.
Whether it is a single socket in a back bedroom or a full commercial job, it is carried out by our own electricians and never subbed out.
How we work, from first call to finished job
When you get in touch we talk through what you need, and for most jobs we can give you a clear, fixed price before we start, free and with no obligation.
We turn up when we say we will, keep you posted if anything changes, and leave the place as tidy as we found it. You deal with the same local team from the first call to the finished job, not a call centre and not a different face every visit.
NICEIC accredited, fully insured, and honest with it
FRM is NICEIC approved and CHAS and JIB accredited, and every job we do meets the current BS7671 wiring regulations. We are fully insured, we clear up after ourselves, and we explain what we have found in plain English rather than blinding you with jargon.
You get a clear, free quote up front with no pressure, and if a job turns out smaller or simpler than you feared, we will tell you that too. Have a look at the other areas we cover across South Yorkshire, or give us a call and we will talk through whatever you need doing.
