Electrical Installation in Manchester: What It Entails
Manchester has a huge variety of structures, from older Victorian buildings to modern office spaces. These properties frequently require upgrades to meet modern electrical demands while maintaining structural integrity. We have worked on installations ranging from the iconic St Ann’s Church in central Manchester to industrial warehouse units in Irlam and commercial properties in Liverpool.
Electrical installation usually covers the design, installation, extension, and upgrade of a property’s electrical system. This may include wiring of new circuits, consumer units, LED lighting, sockets, energy-efficient installations, specialist systems and safety devices.
Professional installation ensures:
- Electrical safety for occupants
- Legal compliance and certification
- Reliable power distribution
- Long-term performance without recurring faults
All our electrical works are tested and certified in line with current BS 7671 regulations.

Electrical Installation Projects We Have Delivered
Bentley Motors, Crewe
Bentley Motors updated its main showroom in 2021 and appointed Addison Electrical to carry out all the electrical work. We installed custom decorative showroom lighting designed to show off the shape and detail of each car, balancing focused and ambient light. We upgraded the meeting rooms with new AV systems, screens and wireless presentation connections alongside energy-saving lighting, and ran Cat6 cabling with data ports and wireless access points to support current and future technology.

21D Clinical Limited, Warrington
In 2023, 21D Clinical Limited, the fastest-growing dental company in the UK, moved into a new building in Warrington. We joined the construction team and turned a bare office space into a facility housing offices, a high-tech dental suite, and a research centre. The scope covered the entire power and lighting system, a complete fire alarm system meeting healthcare safety requirements, Cat6 data cabling, recessed LED lighting, and an AV installation including 10 multimedia screens for surgeons to use during procedures.
Torus Group, Merseyside and the North West
In 2024, social housing provider Torus Group asked us to upgrade more than 800 desk spaces across several of its offices. We installed new power outlets and data ports at every desk, removing the need for shared extension leads, and fitted cable trays and conduits to keep wiring contained and reduce trip hazards. The work ran across multiple North West sites, scheduled around daily operations and coordinated with site managers and IT teams.

FAQs
Is an electrical certificate a legal requirement following works?
The answer is almost always yes; the vast majority of electrical works require certification to current BS7671 standards.
Does a 40-year-old house need rewiring?
Not always, but it should be inspected. Many homes of this age have wiring that may no longer meet safety standards or support modern electrical loads.
Can you work around business hours?
Yes. Commercial installations can be scheduled to minimise disruption, including evenings and weekends.
What happens if you don’t have an EICR certificate?
You may be in breach of the law (for rentals), face fines, invalidate insurance, and be held liable if an electrical fault causes harm or damage.
Do I need a NICEIC-approved electrician for electrical installation in Manchester?
NICEIC-approved electricians are required for compliant, certifiable installations. NICEIC approval means the contractor is regularly assessed against national safety and compliance standards, which is why NICEIC certificates are accepted by insurers, local authorities, and solicitors.
How long does an electrical installation take?
It depends on the property type, access, and scope of work. We confirm timescales in a clear, itemised quote before any work begins, so you know the schedule in advance.
Do you carry out commercial and industrial electrical installation as well as domestic?
Yes. We work across domestic, commercial, and industrial sites. Recent commercial projects include the Bentley Motors showroom in Crewe, the 21D Clinical Limited facility in Warrington, and an 800+ desk power and data upgrade for Torus Group across several North West offices.
