Best Electricians in Cramlington

Three Cramlington electricians for rewires, repairs, extensions and emergencies: PD Electrics, Walkergate Electrical and M W Price Electrical Services, plus the checks to make before you book.

Cramlington.live·3 November 2026

Much of Cramlington's housing went up between the 1960s and the 1980s, so many homes still have their original wiring and consumer unit. If you are buying on one of the older estates, a rewire or a new consumer unit is a common early job. In the newer homes on the South West Sector, the jobs are more likely to be extra sockets, outdoor power or an electric vehicle charger.

Below are three electricians based in Cramlington. All three are small, owner-run businesses rather than large contractors, which usually means you deal with the person who does the work. We checked each one's website or trade profile in November 2026. None publishes fixed prices, so ask for a written quote.

How to choose an electrician in Cramlington

Check they can self-certify. Most new circuits, consumer unit replacements and any work in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. An electrician registered with a competent person scheme, such as NICEIC or NAPIT, can sign the work off themselves. If they cannot, the work has to go through Northumberland County Council's building control, which costs extra. You can check registration on the Electrical Competent Person register.
Ask for the certificate. After notifiable work you should receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, or a Minor Works Certificate for smaller jobs, and later a Building Regulations compliance certificate. Keep them with the house deeds.
Get a written quote. It should say what is included, such as making good the plaster after a rewire, and how long the work will take.
Landlords need an EICR. Private landlords in England must have the electrics inspected and tested at least every five years and give tenants a copy of the report.
