Electrician
in Crewe
NAPIT-accredited electricians covering Crewe. Specialists in EICR landlord compliance, Victorian terrace rewires, and commercial electrical work across CW1 and CW2.
Crewe’s Electrical Demands Are Different — We Understand That
Crewe is unlike most Cheshire towns electrically. It has one of the highest proportions of privately rented housing in the county, a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraced properties with ageing electrical installations, and a substantial commercial and industrial base including Alstom, Crewe Business Park, and a major logistics and distribution sector.
That combination creates specific electrical needs — high demand for EICR landlord compliance testing, frequent consumer unit upgrades and rewires in older terraced housing, and ongoing commercial electrical maintenance and installation work. These are areas we are well-equipped to handle. We carry out EICR testing and remedial work regularly across Crewe’s CW1 and CW2 postcodes and have built a strong track record with landlords, letting agents and commercial clients in the area.
All work is carried out by our own NAPIT-accredited, CHAS-certified electricians. No subcontractors. All work certified to BS 7671 (18th Edition Wiring Regulations).

EICR Testing for Crewe Landlords
Crewe has one of the highest proportions of privately rented housing in Cheshire. A large portion of that stock — particularly the Victorian terraces around Edleston Road, Sydney Road and the town centre — contains ageing wiring that frequently fails EICR inspection. If you let residential property in Crewe, an EICR is a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
EICRs must be carried out every five years. Copies must go to existing tenants within 28 days and to new tenants before occupation. Non-compliance carries civil penalties of up to £30,000 per breach. Crucially, if your EICR identifies remedial work, that work must be completed within 28 days. We handle EICRs and all remedial work — including rewires and consumer unit replacements — in-house, saving you time and the hassle of managing multiple contractors.
