Langworthy Buile Hill is 53.7 per cent pre 1919 housing while Pendleton next door is 50.6 per cent built between 1945 and 1972, and the city average hides both.
We build a Salford electrician a page per job and a page per area, with the licensing streets on a page of their own. Salford runs two selective licensing designations, one ending 1 September 2027 and one beginning 21 January 2026. See it live before you pay, the domain stays yours, live in 7 days.
Across the city of Salford, the published Valuation Office table CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025, records 135,720 homes. 21,810 were built before 1919, 16.1 per cent, and 43,110 before 1940, 31.8 per cent. 21.5 per cent went up between 1945 and 1972, 16.8 per cent between 1973 and 1999, and 39,970 properties, 29.4 per cent, since 2000.
Census 2021 table TS044 records 34.7 per cent of Salford households in semi detached houses, 27.8 per cent in a purpose built block of flats, 25.4 per cent terraced and 9.4 per cent detached. Table TS054 records 24.9 per cent renting from a private landlord or letting agency and 1.9 per cent in other private renting, 26.8 per cent in total, against 25.4 per cent social rented.
The city average is the thing to write around. Langworthy Buile Hill is 53.7 per cent pre 1919 and Lightoaks 52.2 per cent, while Pendleton is 50.6 per cent post war and 5.9 per cent pre 1919. We would name those areas on the rewire page and let a separate page carry the certificates and the agent booked small works in the flats.
Langworthy Buile Hill is 53.7 per cent pre 1919 and Lightoaks 52.2 per cent, while Pendleton is 50.6 per cent built between 1945 and 1972 and 5.9 per cent pre 1919 (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025).
Terrace rewires and landlord certificates on one street and post war board changes on the next. The Victorian terraces are in Langworthy rather than in Pendleton, and the page should say so.
25.3 per cent pre 1919 and 19.7 per cent inter war, with 17.0 per cent built between 1945 and 1972 (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025).
Rewires and board changes on terraced and inter war housing, much of it rented, so the enquiry often comes from an agent rather than the person living there.
Eccles is 29.8 per cent pre 1919 and Winton and Westwood 44.6 per cent inter war (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025). This is the area covered by the selective licensing scheme that started on 1 September 2022.
Certificate work with a date attached, on top of rewires in the older Eccles streets and board changes in inter war Winton.
Kersal Dale is 35.0 per cent inter war and Broughton Park 22.2 per cent pre 1919 with 29.6 per cent built between 1973 and 1999 (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025). A second selective licensing scheme starts here on 21 January 2026.
A licensing area coming into force this year, so certificate work with a deadline for the private rented addresses on the council street list.
Worsley is 36.5 per cent inter war and Swinton Worsley Road 37.7 per cent, with Swinton South East and Pendlebury West at 73.4 per cent inter war (Valuation Office stock tables at census area level, stock at 31 March 2025).
Owner occupied inter war semis, plus chargers and garden circuits. A different budget and a different page from the licensing areas.
Salford runs two selective licensing designations, and both carry dates. The council page for Eccles, Barton and Winton says the scheme "commenced on 1 September 2022 and will last for five years. The scheme will end on 1 September 2027". The page for Broughton, Kersal and Broughton Park says that scheme "will commence on 21 January 2026 and will last for five years with an end date of 21 January 2031". Both publish a street list and an interactive map, and both note that properties on either side of a boundary street are included, so the street list settles it rather than the map. Operating a property in a designated area without the licence it needs is a criminal offence, and the schemes cover those two areas of the city only. Outside the designated areas neither scheme applies. Mandatory HMO licensing may still apply (Salford City Council, areas covered by selective licensing, read 16 September 2026).
Inside the designations and outside them the same national duty applies. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require most private rented homes to have the installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, with remedial or further investigative work within 28 days, or sooner if the report requires it and a financial penalty of up to 40,000 pounds open to the council for a breach. The 2025 amendment extended that to the social rented sector (gov.uk guidance on electrical safety standards in the private and social rented sectors, read 16 September 2026).
Salford's conservation areas page names 16 areas, among them Barton-upon-Irwell, Ellesmere Park and Monton Green. That bears on outside work rather than on wiring, and the charger page is where it lands. The Planning Portal records the limits: a wall mounted outlet and its casing no larger than 0.2 cubic metres, nothing in the curtilage of a listed building, an upstand no higher than 1.6 metres in the curtilage of a dwellinghouse with one per parking space, and off street parking. An article 4 direction can remove those rights in a conservation area or designated heritage site (Planning Portal, electric vehicle charging permitted development, read 16 September 2026).
The page then says the check out loud: look the address up on the street list, look for any article 4 direction, then confirm what the job needs. A landlord reading that knows whether to ring you or the council first.
The local field, 16 September 2026
Google Maps returned 20 listings for electricians in Salford on 16 September 2026, not the 40 we asked for. Fourteen carry a Salford address, but six of those are vehicle trades, a car inspection station, an electrical wholesaler or a building contractor. That leaves eight in area electrical firms, all eight with a website. Four listings are from outside the city, in Bolton, Prestwich and central Manchester, and two gave no address.
Four of the eight run a domain built around Manchester or around EICR work rather than around Salford, and in the local search results nine of the ten firms are on a Manchester, EICR or 24 hour domain, two of them on a lovable.app subdomain (OpenSEO local search results, read 16 September 2026). A site that says Salford and names Ordsall, Pendleton, Weaste, Langworthy and Eccles is saying something the sample does not.
Three Salford firms appeared in the first ten Google local listings we checked for "electricians in Salford", with sites worth opening. Two of the three are built around the certificate rather than around the firm, which is a direct answer to a city where a quarter of households rent privately.
Built on WordPress. It carries a page per area, photographs of its own jobs and reviews on the page. Quotes come through a form, and the phone number sits in the header.
The navigation is four items and three of them are the job: Landlord's EICR, EICR Manchester, EICR Salford and Consumer Unit Install. A landlord searching for the certificate by name lands on a page about the certificate in their own city.
A custom site built by an agency. It carries a page per area, photographs of its own jobs and reviews on the page. Quotes come through a form, and the phone number sits in the header.
The whole site answers one question in order, what an EICR is, who needs one, how often, and what happens when one fails, and it gives the NAPIT registration number on the page. It also offers a text message as well as a call, which suits a landlord who is at work.
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.
Eleven services each have their own page, from EICR testing to EV chargers, solar, battery storage and maintenance contracts, and finished projects sit in a portfolio rather than a gallery strip. NICEIC and Checkatrade are shown.
All three keep the phone number in the header, all three carry reviews on the page, and two run a page per area. Each one opened and checked 16 September 2026.

The nearest build of ours you can open
A driveways firm in Solihull, with a page per job and a page per area. The electrical version has the same bones.
What every electrician site needs, whatever the town, is on our electricians page.
No. Eccles, Barton and Winton has been designated since 1 September 2022 and runs to 1 September 2027, Broughton, Kersal and Broughton Park runs from 21 January 2026 to 21 January 2031, and Census 2021 puts 27.8 per cent of Salford households in a purpose built flat. Those are two customers who will not read the same page.
In parts of it, yes. Salford as a whole is 16.1 per cent pre 1919 on the Valuation Office stock tables at 31 March 2025, but Langworthy Buile Hill is 53.7 per cent and Lightoaks 52.2 per cent. The rewire page should name those areas and Weaste, because the city figure hides them.
It reads as an opening. Nine of the ten firms in the local search results for electricians in Salford sit on a Manchester, EICR or 24 hour domain and two are on a lovable.app subdomain, on a sample taken on 16 September 2026. The phrase itself draws 260 searches a month.
The ones where the job changes. Pendleton is 50.6 per cent built between 1945 and 1972 and 5.9 per cent pre 1919, while Langworthy Buile Hill is 53.7 per cent pre 1919 (Valuation Office stock tables, stock at 31 March 2025). Same postcode, two different quotes, so two different pages.
