24/7 · Yorkshire & the Humber
Back-to-back terraces in Leeds and Bradford, stone rows cut into the hillsides above Halifax and Huddersfield, Georgian streets in York and low-lying Hull. Eleven towns across four counties, and an electrician on call in all of them at every hour of the night.

What we do
Breakers that will not reset, nuisance tripping, or an MCB that has failed outright — including boards sat in a damp cellar where half the trouble starts.
Sockets, lighting, circuits and connections put right and tested before we leave, in terraces, back-to-backs, flats and small commercial units.
Traced with test equipment rather than guessed at — including circuits run through solid stone and along a wall that has earth behind it.
Dead lighting circuits, flickering fittings, failed transformers, and the cellar and stairwell lighting nobody thinks about until it goes.
Consumer units and distribution boards: loose terminals, burnt busbars, failed RCDs and full board replacements, cellar heads included.
Same-hour callout across all eleven towns and the villages beyond them, 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.
Eleven towns across West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, North Yorkshire and the East Riding — postcode areas BD, DN, HD, HG, HU, HX, LS, WF and YO, plus S around Sheffield and Rotherham, and the villages beyond them. Call 02034112027 and we will tell you how long we will be before you commit to anything.
Working in Yorkshire
More boards live down a cellar here than anywhere else we work. Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield and Wakefield are full of terraces where the incoming supply, the meter and the consumer unit all sit at the bottom of a steep flight of steps, in the one part of the house that takes damp through the wall and water across the floor. A board that trips hard every time it rains is usually telling you about the cellar rather than the kitchen, and that is the first place we look.
The housing itself works against you too. Leeds and Bradford still hold more back-to-back terraces than anywhere in the country — one external wall, no rear access, and a whole row wired as a single job a century ago, which is why your neighbour quite often has the same fault you do. Up the Calder and Colne valleys the stone rows are cut into the hillside, so the back of the house has earth behind it and the circuits nearest that wall are always the first to go.
Over towards Hull and the East Riding the ground is low and flat, and a good many properties have had water inside at some point. That leaves things behind in sockets, under-stair boards and anything at skirting level long after the floors have dried. Four counties is a fair spread, so our electricians are based across the region rather than sent out from one depot — a call in Hull is not waiting on a van leaving Halifax.

Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire and the Humber 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.
That pattern is almost always damp, and the cellar is where we start. Water gets into the board itself, into a cellar socket or light, or into the cable where it comes through the wall. We test circuit by circuit to find which one is letting go, so the answer is a specific repair rather than being told the whole installation needs doing.
Often not. A terrace or back-to-back row was usually built and wired as one job, then rewired as one job, so the same cable in the same position reaches the end of its life at much the same time up and down the street. It does not mean your house is unsafe — it means we know roughly where to look before we start.
It can, long after everything looks dry. Flood water leaves salts and corrosion inside sockets, switches and cable at skirting level, and faults from it can show up seasons later. If water is in the property now, do not switch anything back on — leave it off, keep out of the affected rooms and call us. We test what has been affected rather than condemning the lot.
A common one through the winter in electric-only properties. It is usually the off-peak timeswitch or the contactor that feeds the heating circuits rather than the heaters themselves, so you wake up to a cold house with nothing obviously wrong. We can test the switching and the circuits and tell you which it is before anything gets replaced.
