What Oldham Customers Say
Recent callouts, in their own words.
“Whole house went dark around eleven at night. He was here in twenty-five minutes, found a failed cooker connection and had the power back quickly.”
“The board had been tripping on and off for weeks. They tested each circuit properly and traced it to a soaked outside socket. Price was exactly as quoted.”
“Our stone cottage trips every time the weather turns. They traced it to damp coming through the back wall rather than just resetting the board.”
“Old fuse box with no RCD finally gave up. They explained the options plainly, fitted a new consumer unit the same day and left everything tidy.”
“Rented terrace where circuits had been split between rooms. They sorted the board and issued the landlord certificate the same day.”
“Shop lost power an hour before opening. Someone arrived in half an hour and we traded on time. Invoice matched the quote exactly.”
Mill Terraces Below, Stone Cottages Above
Oldham climbs from dense cotton terraces to Pennine villages, and the two halves fail in completely different ways.
In Glodwick, Werneth, Hollinwood and Derker the terraces carry partial rewires from decades back, mixed cable behind the plaster and boards that predate RCD protection, much of it now rented or shared. Up in Saddleworth, Uppermill, Delph and Diggle the properties are solid stone, often cut into the hillside with one wall against wet ground, so damp tracks through to meter cupboards and ground floor circuits. Winter weather on those lanes also adds time, which we are honest about on the phone.

Questions From Oldham Callers
If what you are seeing is not here, phone and ask. It costs nothing to check.
Call 01613942596How quickly can you reach me in Oldham? +
Usually within twenty to thirty minutes anywhere in the borough, including Glodwick, Werneth, Chadderton and Royton. The Saddleworth villages add a little, more in winter weather, and we tell you honestly on the call.
Do you cover Saddleworth and the villages? +
Yes. Uppermill, Greenfield, Delph, Diggle, Dobcross, Springhead, Grotton, Lees, Shaw, Crompton and Middleton are all covered. Distance adds minutes, never a surcharge.
Is there a call-out charge at night or on a Sunday? +
The price is the same whatever the hour. No night rate, no weekend surcharge and no bank holiday premium. You hear the figure before we set off and it does not change when we arrive.
Our stone cottage is damp and the board trips. Are they connected? +
Very likely. Moisture tracking through solid stone or into an outside meter box will trip an RCD repeatedly while everything indoors looks dry. In the hill villages it is one of the most common causes we find.
Our terrace has old wiring. Can it still be repaired? +
Sometimes, and we will tell you honestly. A lot of this housing carries partial rewires with mixed cable and no RCD protection. If a repair is only buying a few months we say so rather than take the money twice.
Do you work with landlords and shared houses? +
Yes. A large share of the housing here is rented, often with circuits divided between rooms and the consumer unit never upgraded. Landlord certification can be completed during the same visit.
