Electricians in Swinton, Greater Manchester

The firms that describe where they work point to Manchester first, with Salford and Clifton also on the map, so a Swinton address says little about where a van will go.

The work runs from homes to large sites. JD Electric 2013 Limited is a family-run company serving Manchester and Greater Manchester from Swinton. Its domestic and commercial work covers new installations, rewiring, consumer unit upgrades, EV charger installation, solar PV and battery storage, fire alarm systems and emergency lighting. Winter Spark Electrical Limited is based in Swinton and works across Manchester and the North West on industrial, commercial and domestic jobs, from single phase and three phase installations to extra circuits, part or full rewires and annual PAT testing.

Some Swinton firms lean toward testing and specialist systems rather than general installation. OJT Electrical Testing Ltd concentrates on electrical installation condition reports for Salford and Manchester, covering homes and workplaces, and it also issues landlord safety certificates and home buyer mortgage safety surveys. Traceman Ltd has operated in Swinton since 1992, designing, supplying and installing specialist systems such as surface heating, pump house wiring, sprinkler monitoring, leak detection, gaseous extinguishing and fire detection. It no longer works in the domestic market, so it suits commercial and industrial sites, not a house.

Landlords of privately rented homes in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified and competent person at least every five years. In Swinton, OJT Electrical Testing Ltd, LRB Electrical and Lee Muir & Son Ltd all offer EICRs and landlord certificates, and so do JD Electric 2013 Limited and Traceman Ltd. LRB Electrical serves Swinton residents and the wider Manchester area, from LED lighting to full and part rewires, consumer unit upgrades to replace a dated fuse board, and kitchen and bathroom electrics.
