24/7 · North East
Tyneside flats with two front doors side by side, colliery rows across County Durham, Victorian terraces in Sunderland and Middlesbrough, and a coast that takes everything the North Sea has. Five towns at the centre of it, and an electrician on call across the whole region at every hour of the night.

What we do
Breakers that will not reset, nuisance tripping, or an MCB that has failed outright, on boards that have been added to for forty years.
Sockets, lighting, circuits and connections put right and tested before we leave, in flats, terraces, council and housing association homes alike.
Traced with test equipment rather than guessed at — including circuits that leave your flat and come back through somebody else’s ceiling.
Dead lighting circuits, flickering fittings, failed transformers, and the shared entrance lighting in a flat nobody is sure they own.
Consumer units and distribution boards: loose terminals, burnt busbars, failed RCDs and full board replacements.
Same-hour callout across Tyne and Wear, County Durham, Teesside and Northumberland, 24 hours a day.
Treat this as urgent. Switch the circuit off at the board if you safely can, then call — we prioritise these above everything else.
Sparking, buzzing, scorched or warm to the touch. Faulty accessories isolated and replaced on the spot.
We split the circuits down to find what is pulling the board out, rather than leaving you resetting it all night.
Based in Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington and Middlesbrough — postcode areas NE, SR, DH, DL and TS — and covering a long way past all five: Gateshead, North and South Shields, Whitley Bay, Washington, Chester-le-Street, Hartlepool, Stockton, Redcar, Hexham and the Northumberland coast. Call 02034112027 and we will tell you how long we will be before you commit to anything.
Working in the North East
The Tyneside flat shapes more of our work here than anything else. One two-storey terraced house, divided into two self-contained homes, each with its own front door at street level — a building type you will barely find outside this region and one that behaves quite unlike anything else. Two supplies and two meters, often crammed into one small shared lobby. And, crucially, the upper flat’s circuits frequently run through the lower flat’s ceiling. So “the fault is in my flat” regularly means standing in a neighbour’s living room to find it, which has to be arranged courteously, at eleven at night, by somebody who has done it before.
Inland it is the colliery rows. Across County Durham whole villages were built and wired in one go, then heated by solid fuel, then converted to electric over decades — a circuit added here, a shower there, an immersion, a cooker, each change made to a board nobody ever stood back and reconsidered. A lot of people in those houses have been told they need a full rewire. Some do. Plenty do not, and we will tell you honestly which you are.
Five towns is the shortest list on this site, and it undersells us badly. Our electricians cover Gateshead, the Shields, Washington, Hartlepool, Stockton and Hexham as a matter of routine, along with a coastline from Redcar to the Northumberland beaches where salt and wind get into every outside fitting, light and socket on the seaward wall.

North East FAQ
Can’t see yours here? Call and ask — someone picks up at any hour of the day or night.
If several properties are out it is a fault on the supply network, and across the whole North East that is Northern Powergrid. Dial 105 free from any phone and you will be put straight through to them. Nobody should charge you to tell you that. If your property alone is dark, it is ours.
It often is, and that is not a complication for us. The two flats have separate supplies, but cable from the upper one commonly runs through the lower one’s ceiling, so the fault and the symptom end up in different homes. We test from your side first to establish exactly what we need access to, so if we do have to knock on a neighbour’s door we are asking for ten minutes rather than an evening.
We cover all of them. The five towns above are where our electricians are based, not the limit of where they go — Gateshead, North and South Shields, Whitley Bay, Washington, Chester-le-Street, Hartlepool, Stockton, Redcar, Hexham and out along the Northumberland coast are all normal callouts. Give us the postcode and we will tell you the real travel time.
Sometimes, and we will say so plainly when it is. But a great many older terraces here have had circuits added piecemeal over decades, and what looks like a failing installation is one bad circuit, one tired board or one poor connection. We test before we advise, and we will tell you what actually needs doing now, what can reasonably wait, and what you have been quoted for that you do not need.
Try them first — most run their own emergency repairs line, and if it is their responsibility you should not be paying for it. If you cannot get hold of anyone, or they cannot attend and you are without power tonight, call us. We will make the property safe and give you a written account of what we found, which is exactly what your landlord will want to see afterwards.
