What electricians in Manchester actually have to log on a job
- Part P notifications — Auto-flag notifiable jobs (consumer unit, kitchen, bathroom, outdoor) and attach the local-authority Part P certificate as a PDF.
- NICEIC / NAPIT / Stroma — Your scheme number is auto-prefixed on every invoice and Minor Works cert.
- EICR & Minor Works — Store the cert PDF inside the invoice thread; chase customer sign-off via WhatsApp.
- BS 7671 (18th Edition) line items — RCBO upgrades, SPDs, AFDDs each as their own line so the customer sees what they’re paying for.
- Calibration / test-equipment — Log MFT calibration date once a year; Holdfort reminds you 30 days before it lapses.
What electricians in Manchester actually deal with
United Utilities across the whole of Greater Manchester
Greater Manchester Clean Air Zone — plans paused since 2022 but councils are preparing a replacement scheme. Keep receipts for any Ultra Low Emission van upgrades; they’re capital allowance-eligible.
Ten boroughs (Manchester, Salford, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Wigan). Building Control for most residential jobs is split between council services and approved inspectors.
Heavy mix of Victorian two-up-two-downs, interwar semis, post-war council housing, and new-build apartment blocks especially around the city centre. Back-to-back terraces still need careful bracing on loft conversions.
Serving Didsbury, Chorlton, Sale, Altrincham, Withington and the rest of Greater Manchester. Manchester’s rapid apartment boom means lots of concierge-access jobs where you need a sign-in, a lift booking, and often a COSHH briefing before you can even touch a sink.
Greater Manchester sits around £50–£85 for a plumber callout, cheaper than London but increasingly comparable in city-centre postcodes. Holdfort doesn’t set your prices — your rates are yours — but it stops you from losing track of what’s owed, what’s paid, and what’s been expensed along the way. All through WhatsApp. No app to install, no portal to log into.
Questions from Manchester electricians
Yes. Say "Part P notified" in the voice note and Holdfort tags the invoice with the building-control reference field, ready for you to drop in the local-authority cert PDF when it comes back.
Yes — send the cert as a WhatsApp file reply and Holdfort attaches it to the invoice thread. The customer gets one PDF with the invoice and the cert.
Yes — it’s UK-wide. Whether you’re invoicing a job in Manchester City Centre, a Salford Quays apartment, or a Stockport semi, the process is identical.
Log it as a voice-note line: "plus one hour sign-in and lift booking" and it goes on the invoice as a separate line. Your customer sees why the total’s higher than a like-for-like house call.
Landlords love fast PDFs for end-of-tenancy fixes. Voice-note a two-line fix-and-forward invoice from the van, send to the letting agent before you’ve left the driveway. Paid within days, not weeks.
Yes — quarterly-ready breakdowns and sole-trader categories. Required for self-employed earners over the MTD threshold from April 2026. See the MTD guide.
