Antrim wraps around the northern and eastern edge of Belfast, from the commuter towns of Lisburn and Carrickfergus to the Glens and the Causeway coast. Housing ranges from dense city terraces to exposed coastal properties that take a battering from Atlantic weather.
Local demand: Coastal wind and rain keep roofers, guttering specialists and external painters busy, while Belfast's older terraced stock drives steady demand for rewires, replumbs and damp work.

What Antrim homeowners hire electricians for
Electricians install and maintain the wiring, fuseboards, sockets and lighting that keep your home safe and running. Because bad electrical work is a genuine fire and shock risk, much of it is legally controlled in Ireland: works like a new fuseboard or a rewire must be certified by a Registered Electrical Contractor and issued with a completion certificate. Never cut corners here — always insist on the paperwork.
- Full and partial house rewires
