Do you do small jobs in Haughton Green or only big ones?

Both. A new socket, a broken pull-cord, a flickering light — these are everyday jobs for us and we charge sensibly for them. No minimum fee.

There's a slight burning smell from a socket. What do I do?

Switch the circuit off at the consumer unit, don't plug anything else into that socket, and call us. Burning smells around sockets almost always mean either a loose connection generating heat or insulation breakdown. Both need same-day attention.

How long does a consumer unit upgrade take in a typical 1960s semi?

About 4–6 hours from arriving to certifying. The power is off for most of that, but we minimise the disruption — fridges and freezers are normally fine for that window.

Local Knowledge

Why our work in Haughton Green is genuinely local

Haughton Green is a quiet residential pocket of Denton, bordering Haughton Dale Local Nature Reserve. The housing is largely inter-war and post-war, with newer pockets toward the Hyde Road end. We cover all of it.

Typical response

Around 5 minutes from our Denton HQ in normal traffic. For genuine emergencies we aim to be on site the same hour.

Haughton Green's housing stock leans toward 1930s semis and 1960s estates. The 60s estates here often share something we see across Tameside: aluminium-cored cabling on some lighting circuits, which is fine when intact but becomes a problem at junction boxes where it can deteriorate. If you've had random lighting failures that come and go, that's a likely cause.

Hyde Road forms the southern edge of the area, with Haughton Dale providing a green buffer between Denton and the Tame Valley. Most homes have decent off-street parking, which makes EV charger installs straightforward — we typically run cables through the garage rather than along the front of the property for a cleaner finish.

There's a higher-than-average proportion of older homeowners around Haughton Green, and one job we do regularly here is the unfussy stuff: a single new socket, a faulty light pull, a smoke alarm replacement. We don't have a minimum charge that prices people out of small jobs.
