Services
Are you looking for a domestic electrician in Wigton or the surrounding area? I offer a comprehensive range of domestic electrical services, including: emergency electrician, fault finding and fault diagnosis, electrical inspection and testing, PAT testing, appliance testing and repair, and a wide range of services tailored to landlords and letting agents.
I am registered with the NICEIC on the domestic installer electrician scheme. I provide the complete range of domestic electrical installations - from repairing a socket to a full electrical rewire, and everything in between! I also specialise in the domestic electrical installation condition report (EICR) - an electrical MOT for your home.
Do you ever wonder how safe your house wiring is? A simple way to greatly improve domestic electrical safety is by upgrading your old fusebox to a modern RCD Consumer Unit. A full inspection and test of your electrical installation is carried out prior to upgrading to a new consumer unit. You will then benefit from maximum safety and complete peace of mind.
Do your fuses blow or circuit breakers trip often? Are your electrics old and tired? Has the previous owner been doing some ill-advised DIY? Do you get a shock when you touch a switch or appliance? Are you worried about the safety of your electrical system? If so, it's time to get your installation checked out.
I offer a full range of electrical shower services including electric shower repair, electric shower replacement and electric shower installation. I can provide new or upgraded circuits for electric showers. I provide a complete installation service including the plumbing. I am a Registered Triton Installer but I also install other brands too, such as Mira and Gainsborough.

Ian has carried out electrical work in my house and workshop for the last 10 years . Work has included complete checks of all electrical works and PAT testing. Installing lighting, extractor fan, electric shower. Replacing external weathered cables and also wiring a 3 phase converter to my lathe. All work has been done to an excellent standard. I also rented my house for some years and Ian did all the necessary electrical checks and any work needed by the tenants. I have found his communication and manner very good, He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and I would highly recommend him as an electrician

Ian is a down to earth guy who is an honest tradesman and for years has been our go-to electrician. Ian has rewired new mains around our lounge / diner, along with down lights; wired in batton lights and mains into our loft space; and moved an over-night storage heater or two around the bedrooms. This work has stood to usage of up to three years so far.
Ian has always been punctual and gentlemanly, and whilst I think there are lower cost electricians around, I know from experience what 'cheap labour' ultimately comes with.
Ian is an easy five star tradesman whom I am happy to recommend.

Ian has always been extremely reliable and an excellent workman. He has a ‘can do’ approach balanced with being honest when something is beyond repair. Very fair pricing. Extremely trustworthy and I have always been happy to leave him in the house. He is equally excellent working alongside other tradesmen. I would highly recommend Ian.
