Local coverage
Stoke-on-Trent is one of our closest towns, and one of our busiest
Congleton sits about twelve miles north of Stoke-on-Trent, and the A34 and A500 make the Potteries one of the quickest runs we do. We have covered the city as part of our normal trading area since Amara started in 2007.
Stoke's six towns: Hanley, Burslem, Tunstall, Stoke, Fenton and Longton, plus Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding suburbs, are dominated by terraced housing built for the pottery and mining industries, alongside large volumes of interwar and post-war council-built homes and a growing number of modern estates. That stock is exactly what our rewire specialism was built around.
Stoke-on-Trent also has one of the region's larger private rented sectors, which means a constant need for EICRs, remedial work and interlinked alarms. We inspect, code the findings honestly, and quote any remedials separately so landlords can see what they are paying for.
The work is mainly domestic. Light commercial jobs, shop units, small offices and studios, are taken on request, so it is worth a call if you run a business in the city.

Local property issues
Electrical issues that come with Potteries housing
Stoke's terraced stock was built for a different era of electricity use: a couple of lights and a wireless, not induction hobs, showers and EVs.
Ancient cable behind newer decoration
Rubber and fabric-insulated cable from the 1950s and earlier is still live in plenty of Stoke terraces, hidden behind replastering and new kitchens.
Rewirable fuse boards
Wire-fuse boards with no RCD protection remain common across the six towns. On an EICR that is a C2, and in practice it means no shock protection at all.
Ground movement and old mining ground
The Potteries' industrial past left ground conditions that have moved buildings over time. Cracked walls and settled floors disturb buried cable and old joints.
Terraces with no cavity
Solid brick walls mean surface-run cable, conduit or chasing. Which route makes sense is a survey decision; it directly affects the price and the finish.
Rental churn and patch repairs
High tenancy turnover produces a lot of quick fixes: spurred sockets, replaced accessories with no testing, and boards changed without certification.
Cellar and yard supplies
Damp cellars and back-yard outbuildings wired years ago without protection corrode quickly and are a frequent EICR failure.
A full rewire is not always the answer. Mike tests first: if remedials or a board upgrade will make the installation safe and compliant, that is what gets quoted.
Our process
The same six steps
on every Stoke-on-Trent job
- 01
You call or send the form
You speak to Mike, not a call centre. He asks what the property is, how old the wiring is and what is going wrong, then books a survey slot that suits you.
- 02
Survey and honest advice
We test what is already there before quoting. If a full rewire is not needed, we say so and price the smaller job instead.
- 03
Fixed written quote
A clear, itemised price in writing. No deposit, no pressure and no charge for the quote itself.
- 04
Planned start date
We agree dates in advance and turn up when we say. Dust sheets down, work areas protected, power staged so you are not left without it overnight.
- 05
Test, certify, hand over
Every circuit is tested and recorded. You get your certification, and rewires carry a 10-year certificate backed by our NICEIC Approved Contractor registration.
- 06
Backed after we leave
Work is covered by the NICEIC six-year guarantee and £5,000,000 public liability insurance. Registration 041430.
Stoke-on-Trent in detail
What we know about wiring
in and around Stoke-on-Trent
Rewiring a Stoke-on-Trent terrace
Terraced rewires are our bread and butter. The survey sets out where cables can run given solid walls and shared party walls, where new circuits are needed for kitchens and showers, and how the work will be staged so you keep power in the rooms you are using.
You get a fixed written price before the job starts and no deposit is taken. On completion, every circuit is tested and recorded, and the property is handed over with a 10-year electrical installation certificate.
- Free survey and fixed written quote
- No deposit on Stoke-on-Trent rewires
- Work staged around occupied rooms
- 10-year certificate plus NICEIC six-year guarantee
Landlord compliance across the six towns
Stoke has a large private rented sector, and every tenancy needs a satisfactory EICR at least every five years plus working alarms. We test each circuit, code findings C1, C2, C3 or FI, and separate legally required remedials from recommendations.
Where several properties need certifying, they can be booked in a single run of visits. Remedial work is quoted separately, so you are free to compare before instructing.
Fuse boards, bonding and earthing
Replacing an old board is the most common upgrade we carry out in Stoke. Modern metal consumer units with an RCBO per circuit mean a fault in one appliance no longer plunges the whole house into darkness.
Mike recommends an EICR before every board change as best practice, charged separately. It confirms the existing circuits are fit to connect and stops nasty surprises once the new unit is energised. Main protective bonding to gas and water is checked as part of the job.
