Electrician in Manningtree
Electrician in Manningtree for EICRs, rewiring, fuse board work and electrical alterations, with routes planned around solid walls, stepped floors and limited roof space.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

Electrician in Manningtree
- Lighting Electrical remains responsible for the work, and we work on homes, flats and shops in Manningtree and Lawford.
- High Street and South Street houses have solid walls and cable added to for decades.
- South Street flats share an intake, so the landlord or agent arranges access.
- Estuary facing fronts take the wind and rain, so outside fittings and supplies need checking.
Houses and shops in Manningtree
- Manningtree is one short riverside town with Lawford behind it, and the buildings differ street by street.
- Georgian fronts are solid all the way through, so runs are planned before anything is opened.
- One intake feeds shop and flat, so isolation has to be arranged with both.
- Split levels mean short, awkward floor voids rather than one straight run.
Electrical services in Manningtree
Manningtree houses, flats and shops use us for board changes, rewiring and wiring reports, and beyond that for lighting, sockets, chargepoints, urgent attendance, alarm work, certificates, cooker connections, panels and batteries, forklift bays and commercial fittings.
What happens on the day
You deal with us from the first call to the certificate. We quote in writing before we start.
- 01
We arrive and look at the property
We park as close as High Street, South Street or The Walls allow and come in at the time we booked. We look at the consumer unit, the meter, the rooms you named and any outdoor cupboard. On a shared South Street intake we use the access already arranged. On a stepped house towards The Walls we walk each floor. We then confirm the written price for that job, whether it is an EICR from £150, fault work from £75 per hour, a board from £450 or a rewire from £2,400.
- 02
We isolate and do the work
We isolate the circuits we are touching and keep the rest of the house on where we can. For a board change the power is off while the new unit goes in. For sockets, switches, downlights, a cooker, a fan, a shower, a smoke alarm or an EV charger we work on the one circuit. On solid wall fronts we pull cable through floors and voids. On Lawford houses we use the loft and the existing modern board when it has the capacity. We tidy as we go so High Street shops can reopen and flats can be lived in the same evening.
- 03
We test and leave the certificate
We test the circuits we have worked on and write the certificate before we leave. An EICR is the full report. A new board, a rewire, an EV charger, solar, a fire alarm or a shower gets the matching certificate. Smaller additions get a minor works certificate from £95. We talk through what we found, what we changed and any C2 items that still need a return visit. Payment follows the written quote.

Electrician in Manningtree questions
These are the questions we are asked on High Street, South Street, The Walls and in Lawford.
How much is an EICR in Manningtree?+
An EICR starts at £150. That covers the inspection of the consumer unit and the circuits and a written report. Flats above South Street need intake access arranged first. Houses on The Walls include the outdoor fittings and the meter cupboard in the same visit.
How much does a rewire cost in Manningtree?+
A house rewire starts at £2,400. On High Street and South Street the cable follows floors and voids because the fronts are solid wall. On houses that step down to The Walls each floor is wired on its own because there is no continuous loft. The written quote follows a walk round.
Do I need a new fuse board in Lawford?+
Post war and later houses around Coxs Hill and Long Road normally already have a modern unit. We check spare ways and capacity for an EV charger, shower or extra sockets. A replacement starts at £450 only when the board is dated or damaged. A small addition can be covered by a minor works certificate from £95.
Can you fit an EV charger in Manningtree?+
A 7.4kW EV charger starts at £750. Drives off New Road, Coxs Hill, Long Road and Wignall Street are the usual locations. We check the board first. If it has the capacity we add the circuit. If it does not, the board work is quoted separately from £450.
What does fault finding cost?+
Fault finding and repair starts at £75 per hour. Out of hours emergency electrician attendance starts at £90 per hour. We answer the phone at any time. Booked work sits in opening hours unless the fault is an emergency.
Can you connect a cooker or a shower?+
A cooker or oven connection starts at £120. An electric shower starts at £220. An extractor fan starts at £180. An immersion heater repair starts at £70 per hour. Light switches and dimmers start at £60. Downlights start at £65 per fitting.
Do you fit alarms and do PAT testing?+
Smoke and heat alarm installation starts at £110. A fire alarm system starts at £1,400. PAT testing starts at £95. Emergency lighting tests and certificates start at £150. Starlink installation starts at £350 for a house and £550 for a shop or office. A forklift charger starts at £700 where a yard needs one.
Do you do solar and commercial lighting?+
Solar panel installation starts at £5,500. Battery storage starts at £4,500. Commercial lighting in High Street and South Street shops starts at £65 per fitting. Lighting Electrical is NAPIT registered. Bronze, Silver and Gold plans cut labour and certificate prices and include a yearly safety certificate, with Gold adding three certificates a year, same day booking and two emergency call outs.
