Commercial Electrical Contractors Manchester

When Bentley Motors needed commercial electrical contractors for their Manchester showroom, they weren’t just looking for someone to run cables and install lighting; they needed partners who understood that every circuit, every fixture, represents a luxury brand’s exact standards. We delivered precision electrical installation that matched Bentley’s requirements while keeping the showroom operational.

Testimonials

H Wynn

Bridgfords Countrywide

Addison Electrical have always provided a first class and efficient service, whilst remaining personable and friendly and ready to help in an emergency.

Jon Gilbert and Robot

Factory Operations Manager

I worked closely with Addison Electrical from day 1 of the new factory installation and continue to use their services for additional works required, due to the ongoing expansion of the workshop. I found Mike and the team professional and particularly receptive to the constant communication required on such a large project.

G Taylor

Senior Property Manager

Addison Electrical were recommended to me by a colleague several years ago, and I have not looked back since employing their services. Regardless of the nature of the work required – be it to replace a single light, carry out electrical testing or to provide a complete LED refurbishment of a development – I have found their service courteous and professional, as well as exceedingly reliable. Even if I am just after advice I know I can always pick up the phone to Mike and the team and they won’t hesitate to be of assistance. If ever I am asked to recommend a company to carry out electrical work, it is always Addison Electrical Contracting.

Mike did a great job on a tricky domestic job that other electricians didn't want to do. Worked really hard and completed a nice neat job for a fair price. Would highly recommend 👌 …

P Christopher

Senior Property Manager

I have used Addison Electrical on the sites I manage since 2008 and they have continued to provide an outstanding service, not just for ongoing and reactive maintenance but also for the electrical inspection and testing that is required regularly. The nature of property management calls for fast, efficient service and I would not hesitate to recommend Addison’s not only because of the high standards of their service and workmanship, but also because they are a company that care.

Our Services as Commercial Electrical Contractors Covering Manchester & Wider North West

Reactive/ Emergency Commercial Electrical Services

Commercial electrical emergencies (power loss, system faults) happen anytime, causing costly downtime and damaging reputation. Our 24/7 expert services provide swift, urgent response across Manchester and the Northwest, minimising disruption for manufacturing, retail, and property management clients. We offer reactive maintenance that solves problems quickly and prevents escalation.

Electrical Inspection & Testing

Failed electrical inspections lead to shutdowns, insurance issues, and penalties. Our comprehensive NICEIC-approved inspection and testing services, including PAT testing and periodic inspections, protect your business. We provide meticulous documentation and reliable service for all commercial premises and property management portfolios, ensuring compliance without the administrative burden.

LED & Energy-Efficient Installations

Commercial LED installations can cut lighting energy consumption by up to 80%, reducing costs and carbon footprint while improving ESG performance. We retrofit older spaces and specify new systems, delivering superior illumination for improved productivity (offices), safer operations (manufacturing), and better product display (retail).

Business EV Charging Installation

We inspect and install EV solutions across commercial and industrial settings throughout Northwest England.

Emergency Lighting Systems

Emergency lighting is vital for safely evacuating occupants when the main power fails. We offer comprehensive installation, inspection, testing, and maintenance, including monthly checks and annual three-hour duration tests, inclusive of the Photometric (Lux) Verification, aligned with the updated BS 5266-1:2025 standard.

This new standard requires building owners to verify light levels at least every five years using calibrated equipment. This process measures actual lux output, unlike standard checks, identifying reduced light from ageing LEDs, discoloured diffusers, or layout changes.

Results are documented in a verification report, asset register, and logbook, proving compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This confirms that escape routes are genuinely safe.

This ensures optimal performance, maintains compliance, and ensures safe evacuation during emergencies.
