Websites for electricians in Oldham that name the certificate a landlord has to produce.

Across Oldham borough, 26,430 homes were built before 1919 and 40,870 before 1940 (Valuation Office stock tables, 31 March 2025).

We build Oldham electricians a page for each job: the rewire, the fuse board, the certificate and the charger. A selective licensing application in the town needs an EICR dated within the last five years showing no Code 1 or Code 2 defects. Free live demo, keep your domain, live in 7 days.

The houses in Oldham

Across Oldham borough, the published Valuation Office table CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025, records 99,060 homes. 26,430 of them were built before 1919, 26.7 per cent, and 40,870 before 1940, 41.3 per cent. Another 28.9 per cent went up between 1945 and 1972 and 19.9 per cent between 1973 and 1999.

Census 2021 table TS044 records 38.5 per cent of Oldham borough households in terraced houses and 35.9 per cent in semi detached. Table TS054 records 15.3 per cent renting from a private landlord or letting agency and a further 2.4 per cent in other private renting, 17.7 per cent in total.

Those are two jobs, and we would give them two pages. One is a full rewire in the pre 1919 terraces, the other a consumer unit change on a post war semi. On each page we would explain the likely duration, disruption, testing and certification using your own completed jobs. A third page carries the certificate, written in the words a landlord types rather than the words a scheme uses.

Chadderton

Chadderton North is 22.2 per cent pre 1919 and 25.2 per cent inter war, with 41.5 per cent built between 1945 and 1972. Chadderton South West is 51.9 per cent inter war and Chadderton Central 39.4 per cent post war (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025).

Fuse board changes and part rewires on inter war and post war semis. We would show your completed board changes and rewires, explaining how you assessed the existing installation. Chadderton South is one of the nine wards named in the selective licensing designation, and an application there needs an EICR.

Royton

Royton North is 58.4 per cent built between 1945 and 1972 and Royton South West 46.4 per cent, with pre 1919 shares of 16.1 and 11.5 per cent (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025).

Board changes, extra sockets and EV chargers on post war semis with driveways. We would show your completed board changes and rewires, explaining how you assessed the existing installation.

Shaw and Crompton

61.9 per cent of Shaw and Crompton was built between 1945 and 1972, against 13.1 per cent before 1919 (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025).

Consumer unit replacements on estate housing of one age, for a customer who asks for a price rather than a survey. We would show your completed board changes and rewires, explaining how you assessed the existing installation.

Lees

Lees and Hey is 29.0 per cent pre 1919 and 48.3 per cent built between 1945 and 1972 (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025).

Two jobs on one round: stone terrace rewires at one end and post war board changes at the other. That is an argument for two pages rather than one.

The town centre, Alexandra Park and Werneth

Alexandra Park is 62.4 per cent pre 1919, Salem 57.5 per cent, Busk 49.4 per cent and Oldham Town South 43.0 per cent (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025). Alexandra, St Mary's, Werneth and Coldhurst are among the nine wards named in the selective licensing designation.

Full rewires and landlord EICR certificates on Victorian terraces, much of it booked by a landlord or an agent against a licence deadline rather than by the person living there.

The rules that change an electrician job in Oldham

Oldham Council designated its selective licensing scheme on 1 April 2022 and it took effect on 4 July 2022, covering five mapped areas inside the wards Alexandra, St Mary's, St James, Waterhead, Coldhurst, Werneth, Chadderton South, Hollinwood and Medlock Vale. The council's own licensing page sets the condition in plain words: an Electrical Installation Condition Report "must be dated within the last 5 years and show that the installation is satisfactory, with no Code 1 or Code 2 defects", and "the electrician's name and registration details must be clear and verifiable". The same page adds that "getting a licence doesn't mean the property is automatically safe". The designation covers the mapped areas. Outside the designated areas this selective licensing scheme does not apply. Mandatory HMO licensing may still apply (Oldham Council, selective licensing of private landlords, read 16 September 2026).

Underneath the scheme sits the rule that applies to most private rented homes in England. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require the installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, remedial or further investigative work completed within 28 days, or sooner if the report requires it, and allow a council to impose a financial penalty of up to 40,000 pounds for a breach; the 2025 amendment extended the regime to the social rented sector (gov.uk guidance on electrical safety standards in the private and social rented sectors, read 16 September 2026).

For chargers the Planning Portal records the permitted development limits as they stand: a wall mounted outlet and its casing must not exceed 0.2 cubic metres and must not sit within the curtilage of a listed building, an upstand must not exceed 1.6 metres in height in the curtilage of a dwellinghouse, there is one upstand per parking space, and the parking must be off street. In a conservation area or other designated heritage site those rights may be removed by an article 4 direction. The local planning authority is the place to check (Planning Portal, electric vehicle charging permitted development, read 16 September 2026).

On the page we would write that the way you would say it on the phone: check the address against the designation, check any article 4 direction, then say what the job needs. It answers the question on the certificate page instead of on the doorstep.

The local field, 16 September 2026

Who you are up against in Oldham

Google Maps returned 20 listings for electricians in Oldham on 16 September 2026, not the 40 we asked for. Seventeen carry an Oldham address. Three of those are vehicle trades and one is a renewables firm listed as a corporate office, which leaves 14 in area electrical businesses: nine with a website and five without. Three listings gave no address at all and are counted in neither column.

In the local search results for the same phrase, six of the ten firms carry no website in the listing and the first result's link is a Setmore booking page (OpenSEO local search results, read 16 September 2026). That is one dated sample of one search. What we would do with it is give Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees and the town centre a page each, carrying the jobs you have finished in them.

Where an electrician in Oldham gets to when they invest

Three Oldham firms whose websites we opened and checked. Between them they show the three things a buyer checks before ringing: a price, photographs of the firm's own work, and a page about the job that was searched for.

  • Ion Electrix

    Built on WordPress. It carries photographs of its own jobs and reviews on the page. It has no page per area. Quotes come by phone, and the phone number sits in the header.

    It prints an actual price on the home page, 45 pounds to add a socket from an existing circuit, and says the firm is based in Oldham, which answers the two questions a homeowner has before ringing. NAPIT and TrustMark are shown.

  • TMS Electrics LTD

    Built on WordPress. It carries photographs of its own jobs and reviews on the page. It has no page per area. Quotes come through a form, and the phone number sits in the header.

    Domestic, industrial and commercial each get their own page rather than one services list, and the gallery is the firm's own job photographs.

  • North West Electrical Maintenance Ltd

    Built on WordPress. It carries photographs of its own jobs and reviews on the page. It has no page per area. Quotes come through a form, and the phone number sits in the header.

    Every job has a page of its own, including fuse board upgrades and EV charger installations split into domestic and commercial versions, which is the structure that catches the narrow searches a single services page misses.

All three keep the phone number in the header, all three carry reviews on the page, and none run a page per area. Each one opened and checked 16 September 2026.

The Oldham searches worth their own page

  • "electricians in Oldham"

    390 searches a month (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026)

    The town page. It names Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees and the town centre, and shows a finished board in each.

  • "electrician Oldham"

    390 searches a month (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026)

    The singular runs on the same page, with the town in the title and the first heading.

  • "emergency electrician Oldham"

    50 searches a month (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026)

    A callout page saying the hours you answer, how fast you get there and what you can do without the power on.

  • "electrical contractors Oldham"

    40 searches a month (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026)

    The commercial small works page: shop units, landlords with a portfolio, and the paperwork that comes back with the job.

  • "EV charger installation Oldham"

    10 searches a month (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026)

    A charger page carrying the permitted development limits as the Planning Portal records them. Oldham had 178 public charging devices at 1 July 2026.

  • "EICR Oldham"

    no recorded monthly volume (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026)

    The licence application names the report. The page should say what it covers and what a Code 1 or Code 2 means.

  • "house rewire Oldham"

    no recorded monthly volume (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026)

    26.7 per cent of Oldham borough's homes predate 1919. The rewire page is where you explain the likely duration, disruption, testing and certification using your own completed jobs.

Of the ten phrases checked, five returned a monthly volume. The unmeasured phrases shown here are "EICR Oldham" and "house rewire Oldham" (OpenSEO keyword metrics, read 16 September 2026).

What we would build for an Oldham electrician

  • A home page naming Chadderton, Royton, Shaw and Crompton, Lees, Werneth and the town centre.
  • A full rewire page for the pre 1919 terraces, explaining the likely duration, disruption, testing and certification from your own completed jobs.
  • A fuse board and consumer unit page for the post war semis in Royton and Shaw.
  • An EICR page written for the licence application: the five year date, Code 1 and Code 2, and what happens when something fails.
  • A selective licensing page naming the nine wards in the designation and linking the council's own map.
  • An EV charger page carrying the Planning Portal limits and the off street parking condition.
  • A commercial small works page for the town centre units.
  • Area pages for Chadderton, Royton, Shaw, Lees, Werneth and Alexandra Park.
  • A quote tool that asks the age of the board, how many bedrooms, whether the power is off and takes a photograph of the board.

What every electrician site needs, whatever the town, is on our electricians page.

Electricians in Oldham ask us

  • Is a landlord certificate page worth building here?

    Oldham's selective licensing scheme took effect on 4 July 2022 across five mapped areas in nine wards, and the council's page says an EICR must be dated within the last 5 years and show no Code 1 or Code 2 defects, with the electrician's name and registration verifiable. The designation covers those mapped areas only. That is a buyer with a document to produce and a date on it.

  • Rewires or fault finding, which does the town actually have?

    26.7 per cent of Oldham borough's homes were built before 1919 and 41.3 per cent before 1940 (Valuation Office stock tables, stock at 31 March 2025), and terraced houses are 38.5 per cent of households (Census 2021). A rewire page that explains the likely duration, disruption, testing and certification using your own completed jobs is written for that stock.

  • Can a new site get anywhere against the Oldham map pack?

    There is more room than it looks. Of the ten firms in the local search results for electricians in Oldham, six carry no website in the listing, and of the 14 in area electrical businesses Google Maps returned, five have no site. That is one dated sample, taken on 16 September 2026. Naming Chadderton, Royton, Shaw and Lees is a start.

  • How many searches are we actually talking about?

    Electricians in Oldham and electrician Oldham each return 390 a month, emergency electrician Oldham 50 and electrical contractors Oldham 40 (OpenSEO keyword data, September 2026). House rewire Oldham and EICR Oldham returned no recorded monthly volume. We would still explain these services, since landlords and homeowners need to understand the work before booking.
