22 years on the Fylde, and still answering the phone ourselves

Hello, I'm Lee

I started Fylde Sparks in 2004 with one van, a borrowed drill and a list of people in Poulton who needed a socket moving. 22 years on, there are eight of us, four vans and a unit on Breck Road, but the job hasn't really changed: turn up when you said, do the work properly, leave it tidy, and explain what you did in words people understand.

I grew up in Poulton and still live here. Most of the electricians on the team are local too, which matters more than it sounds. We know which estates were wired in the sixties with no earth on the lighting, which guest houses on the Prom have had three fuse boards in thirty years, and why the socket in your porch at Cleveleys keeps tripping every January. That saves you money, because we don't spend the first hour working out what the last person did.

How we work

Four promises, written on the wall of the office. We turn up when we say. If we're running late, you get a call before the appointment time, not after. You get a written quote before we start. A fixed price on paper or by email, itemised, with what would change it. We tell you if you don't need the work. About one call in ten is something we can talk you through on the phone, and we'd rather do that than send a van. We leave your home as we found it. Dust sheets, hoover, bins emptied, and the paperwork within the week.

What you get at the end

Every job finishes with the right certificate: an Electrical Installation Certificate for new circuits, a Minor Works certificate for small changes, an EICR for inspections. Notifiable work is registered with building control through our NICEIC membership, so you get the compliance certificate in the post without lifting a finger. We keep copies for fifteen years, which has saved a few house sales.
