Emergency electricians across Oldham and Saddleworth
Oldham borough mixes former mill towns like Chadderton, Royton, Shaw and Failsworth with the Pennine villages of Saddleworth, including Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle and Greenfield. We cover the whole borough, around the clock.
Sitting on the edge of the Pennines, Oldham gets more than its share of wind and rain. Water getting into outside lights, external sockets or loft spaces is a common cause of tripping RCDs here, especially after a storm. We make it safe, dry it out and replace anything that's been damaged.
In the older terraces around the town centre, Werneth and Glodwick, outdated fuse boxes and wiring are a frequent find. We can test your installation and give you honest advice on what needs doing.

Electricians in Oldham: your questions answered
Do you cover Saddleworth?
Yes. We cover Uppermill, Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, Greenfield and the rest of Saddleworth, as well as Oldham, Chadderton, Royton, Shaw and Failsworth.
My electrics trip every time it rains. Why?
Water is probably getting into an outside light, socket or junction box, or into cables in the loft. We can find the affected circuit, make it safe and fix the point where water gets in.
Is it worth replacing an old fuse box?
If your fuse box has no RCD protection, upgrading is one of the best safety improvements you can make. We'll test your installation first and explain your options.
