Home - About Us
Billington's Electrical are an independent firm based in Preston,
specialising as an electric household appliance, accessory and
parts dealer and electrical repair service. We've been here for
over three decades, since Tony Billington started an electrical
repair service through a 'hole in the wall' in 1972. He branched
out almost immediately into retail of household appliances,
stocking one Morphy Richards iron.
We expanded from the original property at 267
Ribbleton Lane to include a large electrical household appliance
retail shop area fronting our electrical repair service workshop,
stores and offices. We opened our second branch in Garstang,
Lancashire, in 1996. It is now an integral part of the market
town community, and continues our association with the
locality - Tony was born there and his wife Kate ran a market
stall there for over a decade before eventually deciding that she
would prefer a roof and walls. We are still a predominantly
family-run business, and we still keep Tony and Kate busy.
Billington's Electrical has continually evolved over the last
thirty years, as technology and changing trends have dictated. We
've taken on board dealerships for many manufacturers over the
years, winning Braun's Service Agent Of The Year and the SEAMA
Service Dealer Of The Year awards on the way. We carry out
in-home repairs on heating. We do all the repairs for Boots
stores in the north west, and we've recently expanded into the
audio-visual market. We are also the sole spare parts and repairs
agent for Remoska cookers, and of course we have a new website.
This is the third generation of billingtonelec.co.uk, which
started life as a simple contacts page way back in the early days
of the web. In 2000, we incorporated online ordering for Kenwood
kitchen appliances and accessories. 2005 saw the
launch of our all new site, with secure online ordering for our
full range of electric household appliances, spare parts and
accessories, including all you need for shavers, vacuum cleaners,
food preparation and a whole lot more. We hope you enjoy your
visit!
In October 2006, we moved all our business to our Garstang branch, bringing to an end nearly 35 years on Ribbleton Lane. The website is obviously unaffected by this, as is our email address info@billingtonelec.co.uk, but please note the address for contact and repairs is Billington's Electrical, 16a High Street, Garstang, PR3 1FA. We continue to provide the same good service, all the same repairs and spares and products that we have become known for. The only change in our operation is that we are 10 miles further north.
