What does a fuse board replacement cost in Rochdale?
£449 for up to 6 circuits, £549 for up to 10 and £695 for 11 or more, all fixed from three photos. Most Rochdale terraces and flats come in at £449 or £549. For landlords, any extra C1 or C2 items on the EICR, such as bonding or new tails, are priced line by line alongside the board.
How a price is built →The rented terraces around the town centre
Wardleworth, Deeplish, Newbold, Spotland and Falinge are packed with two-up two-down and through terraces, many built for mill workers and now let privately. The boards we see here range from rewireable Wylex boxes to 1990s plastic units with a single RCD covering every circuit. When one of these fails an EICR, the report usually reads as a short list: no RCD protection on socket circuits, missing main bonding, and old meter tails in poor condition where the meter was moved at some point.
Flats above shops along Yorkshire Street, Drake Street and Oldham Road add another kind of job: a small board, sometimes sharing an intake cupboard or meter room with the shop below. HMOs are common too, and where a licence or report calls for arc fault protection we fit an AFDD-ready board and price AFDDs per circuit. Everything is priced from your photos up front, and the certificate and tenant confirmation are ready before we leave.
Heywood, Middleton, Littleborough and the rest of the borough
Outside Rochdale itself the borough changes character quickly. Middleton is dominated by the big Langley estate and the 1920s and 30s semis of Alkrington, Heywood by brick terraces, the Darnhill estate and a ring of newer housing near the M62, and Littleborough by Pennine stone, canal-side cottages and isolated farmhouses where the earthing needs real attention. Each of those three has its own page. Milnrow, Castleton, Norden and Bamford round out the picture, the last two with larger detached houses and the circuits to match.
Rochdale is on the northern edge of what we cover, so we build rounds by area and most jobs are fitted later the same week. Landlords with a 28 day EICR deadline go to the front of that queue. The prices do not change with distance: no travel charge from Middleton to Littleborough, and every package includes RCBOs on every circuit, surge protection and full testing.

Rochdale questions
Anything else, call or WhatsApp. A real electrician answers, 8am to 8pm, seven days.
Our WhatsApp is run by SB Electrical Group, the team behind Fuse Box Fitters.
Yes, it is a common arrangement over Rochdale shops. Your photos show us where the supply and the board sit, we arrange access with the shop owner or agent before the day, and we plan the isolation so the shop is disturbed as little as possible.
No. C3 means improvement recommended. The 2020 Regulations require the C1 and C2 items to be put right within 28 days, with a civil penalty of up to £30,000 per breach. We price the C1 and C2 lines as required and list any C3 work separately, so the choice is yours.
Yes. Milnrow, Newhey, Norden, Bamford and Castleton are all part of the same rounds as the town, with no travel charge. Norden and Bamford houses are often bigger, so the £695 package comes up more there than in the terraced streets.
