Qualified electricians covering fault finding, rewiring, installations, consumer unit upgrades and landlord safety certificates across Cheshire and the north west.

Trusted Electrical Services in Runcorn and Across Cheshire

From a tripping fuse board to a complete rewire, our electrical services in Runcorn cover every job a landlord, letting agent or homeowner is likely to need.

Direct Maintenance & Repair Ltd has provided electrical work to landlords, estate agents and residential clients across Cheshire and the north west for over 30 years. Whether it is diagnosing an intermittent fault, installing new circuits, or replacing an ageing consumer unit, we work to the current BS 7671 wiring regulations and issue full test certificates on completion.

We understand the time-sensitive nature of property maintenance, especially when tenants are waiting without power. That is why we prioritise fast response times and clear communication, keeping you updated from first call to sign-off. Most fault-finding visits are completed in a single appointment.

What Our Electrical Work Covers

  • Fault finding and diagnosis
  • Full and partial rewires
  • Consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades
  • New circuit installation
  • Socket, switch and lighting installation
  • Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
  • Landlord electrical safety certificates
  • Emergency electrical repairs

All work is carried out by qualified electricians and complies with Part P of the Building Regulations. Since 2020, private landlords in England must have the electrical installations in their rented properties inspected at least every five years and supply a copy of the report to tenants — see the GOV.UK landlord electrical safety standards guidance for the full requirements. We carry out the inspection, issue the EICR, and quote separately for any remedial work it identifies.

Why Property Professionals Choose Us

With three decades of experience and a strong reputation among local letting agents and property managers, we are a trusted choice for electrical work across Runcorn, Widnes, Warrington and the wider Cheshire area. We work to BS 7671 standards, certify all notifiable work, and always leave the property clean and tidy.

Electrical faults rarely arrive on their own. If a leak has caused the problem we can handle the plumbing repair in the same visit, and if a property needs a full turnaround between tenancies our property maintenance team can cover decorating, flooring and locks too. For guidance on staying safe around electricity at home, the charity Electrical Safety First is an excellent reference.
