Extension wiring in Manchester
- 01
Planning the electrics early
Decide where beds, sofas, TVs and desks will go before the walls are boarded, so sockets and lighting end up in the right places. Moving positions after plastering costs more and takes longer. We work from your drawings and suggest sensible positions.
- 02
Can your consumer unit cope?
An extension adds new circuits and extra load, so we check your consumer unit, main fuse and earthing first. Older boards may lack space or RCD protection for new circuits, and an upgrade is easier to arrange before the build than at the end.

Building control sign-off
Extensions need building regulations approval, and the electrics are part of the final sign-off. As an NICEIC registered electrician, we self-certify the electrical work and give you the certificates your building inspector or approved inspector will ask to see before signing off.
What to expect from extension wiring
We look at your plans and the existing installation, then agree circuits, socket positions, lighting and heating controls with you. You receive a free, no-obligation quote and a schedule showing when we'll need to be on site during the build.
At first fix, once the stud walls and joists are up, we run cables and fit back boxes. After plastering we return for second fix, fitting sockets, switches and lights and connecting to the consumer unit. Everything is tested and certified before the extension is handed over.
What's included
- A plan based on your drawings
- Consumer unit capacity checked
- First fix before plastering
- Second fix once walls are finished
- Full testing and certification
- Paperwork for building control

Extension wiring questions
When does the electrician visit during a Manchester extension build?
Usually at least twice. First fix happens once the structure is up and the walls and ceilings are open, before plastering. Second fix comes after plastering, when sockets, switches and lights are fitted. Some builds also need an early visit to plan or move existing circuits.
Can my extension run off my existing circuits in Manchester?
Sometimes a small extension can be fed from an existing circuit, but most need at least one new circuit for sockets and lighting. It depends on the size of the room and what will be used there. We check your existing circuits before recommending an approach.
Do you work with builders on extensions in Manchester?
Yes. We work alongside builders, joiners and plasterers, fitting our visits around the build schedule. Clear communication about when walls will be open and when plastering is due helps everything run smoothly. We can also liaise with your builder directly if that's easier for you.
How much does extension wiring cost in Manchester?
The cost depends on the size of the extension, the number of sockets and lights, any heating or kitchen circuits, and whether your consumer unit needs upgrading. We work from your plans to give you a free, no-obligation quote, so you can include it in your build budget.
