Jobs we’ve done in Oldham

Barn conversion supply, Delph

The problem: Converted barn running off a long undersized cable from the main house, with voltage drop causing lights to dim under load.
What we did: New correctly sized armoured supply trenched to the barn with its own consumer unit, circuits split for workshop, lighting and heating and the original cable removed.
Result: Voltage drop resolved, tools run properly and the whole installation certified as a separate building.

Rewire and alarm upgrade, Chadderton terrace

The problem: Rented terrace with original wiring, a rewireable fuse box and battery smoke alarms only.
What we did: Full rewire with additional sockets, new 18th-edition board and mains-wired interlinked smoke and heat alarms to the correct grade for a let property.
Result: Satisfactory EICR issued on completion and the property compliant for the new tenancy.

Local knowledge

What Oldham wiring is usually like

Oldham splits neatly in two. The town and its edges, Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Failsworth, are terraces and postwar semis, with a lot of rented stock and plenty of original wiring still in service. Then there is Saddleworth: stone cottages, converted barns and farmhouses in Uppermill, Delph, Diggle and Greenfield, where solid walls, outbuildings and long cable runs change how a job is done entirely. Rural properties out there also tend to have more equipment on the supply, workshops, pumps, gates, so we check the incoming capacity before quoting anything that adds load.

Oldham questions

Asked by Oldham customers

Do you cover Saddleworth as well as Oldham town?

Yes, Uppermill, Delph, Diggle, Greenfield and the surrounding villages. Rural and stone properties are normal work for us, not an exception.

Can you get power to a barn, stable or workshop?

Yes. We size the cable for the actual run and load rather than guessing, fit its own board out there and certify it as a separate building.

My lights dim when I use tools. Is that serious?

It usually means voltage drop from an undersized or overlong cable and it will get worse. Worth getting looked at, it is a common find on rural supplies and it is fixable.
