Fault finding & repairs in
Old Trafford
In Old Trafford’s converted flats and shared houses, faults sometimes cross between units — borrowed neutrals and shared circuits from old conversions are a regular find. We make it safe quickly, which matters in tenanted property, then trace it properly and report back to the landlord or agent.
Fault finding & repairs across Old Trafford
Old Trafford is the M16 corner of Trafford next to the city — famous for the football and cricket grounds, close to Trafford Park and Hulme. The housing is dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces, a lot of it converted to flats or run as shared houses, with newer apartment blocks going up around the stadiums and along the tram line.
That rental and HMO density makes landlord EICRs and certificates a big part of what we do here, and the age of the terraces keeps rewires, board changes and fault-finding steady. The trams and the A56 mean we are in and out quickly.
We cover M16 and neighbouring Stretford, minutes away on the tram.

Half my flat lost power on a Sunday. They made it safe fast, found a borrowed neutral from an old conversion next door, and got the landlord sorted. Proper electricians.
