How much does a fuse box replacement cost in Middleton?
On Langley most houses are £449 or £549, depending on whether they have up to 6 or up to 10 circuits. Alkrington semis with extensions often need the £695 package for 11 or more. The price is fixed from three photos, and any earthing, tails or bonding work is listed on the quote before you book.
How a price is built →Langley homes after the right to buy
Langley was built by Manchester Corporation in the 1950s and 60s, a huge estate of semis, terraces and low-rise flats on the edge of Middleton. Over the decades many tenants bought their homes, and the boards they inherited were the ones the council last fitted: typically a 1980s MEM or Wylex unit with MCBs but no RCD, sometimes a much older rewireable box where an upgrade never reached. Those houses have since gained showers, kitchen extensions and outside sockets, usually squeezed onto the same board.
The trigger on Langley is often a house sale, or a family member helping an older owner whose board has started tripping or buzzing. For owners on a budget the fixed price matters: the photos tell us the circuit count and the condition of the tails and earthing, so the figure you are quoted within two working hours is the figure you pay, unless a circuit fails testing on the day.
Alkrington, the rest of M24, and the neighbours
Alkrington Garden Village was laid out in the 1920s and 30s, and its semis and detached houses are larger than most in Middleton. Many have been extended at the back or into the loft, and the boards show it: a 70s or 80s unit with a second small board or a shower switchfuse alongside, sometimes an EV charger request on top. Those jobs usually become the £695 package, one board with room for everything. Boarshaw, Rhodes, Mills Hill and Middleton Junction sit between the two extremes.
Middleton is the southern end of the Rochdale borough, close enough to the M60 that jobs often get a slot within two or three working days, at the same fixed prices. It differs from Heywood, where newer estates bring nuisance tripping, and from Rochdale town, where landlord EICRs lead. Prestwich and Chadderton are next door, and we cover both on neighbouring rounds.

A buzzing board is worth taking seriously. If there is any scorching, a burning smell or heat, she should switch off at the main switch and call an electrician straight away. If not, send us the three photos and we will price a replacement within two working hours and give you the first date we have.
Yes. Alkrington is part of Middleton and the Rochdale borough, though it sits right against the Manchester boundary. It makes no difference to us: both sides are covered, with no travel charge, and it is one of the closer parts of the borough to our base.
We hand the Electrical Installation Certificate over on the day, to you or whoever lets us in, and notify building control under Part P. You can pass the certificate straight to the solicitor, and it shows the board and every circuit have been tested.
