What Sunderland Customers Say
Recent callouts, in their own words.
“Whole house went dark around eleven at night. He was here in twenty minutes, found a failed cooker connection and had the power back quickly.”
“The board tripped every time the weather turned. They traced it to a corroded outside socket rather than just resetting it like the last person did.”
“Old fuse box with no RCD finally gave up. They explained the options plainly, fitted a new consumer unit the same day and left everything tidy.”
“Student house with a board that could not cope. Upgraded and certified the same day, no fuss at all.”
“Burning smell from a light fitting upstairs. Told me what to isolate while driving over, then replaced the rose and tested the circuit.”
“Shop lost power an hour before opening. Someone arrived in half an hour and we traded on time. Invoice matched the quote exactly.”
Shipyard Terraces, Seafront Salt and Pit Villages Inland
Sunderland was built for shipbuilding and mining, with a seafront on one side and former colliery villages on the other.
Through Millfield, Hendon, Pallion and Southwick the terraces carry partial rewires from decades back, mixed cable behind the plaster and boards that predate RCD protection, much of it now rented or let to students. Along Roker, Seaburn and Whitburn the sea corrodes outdoor terminals behind faceplates that look spotless, so boards trip the moment real weather arrives. And inland at Houghton, Hetton and East Rainton the colliery housing is much the same age and condition as the city terraces. We check for all three before anything else.
- Shipyard and colliery terraces
- Seafront corrosion and damp faults

Questions From Sunderland Callers
If what you are seeing is not here, phone and ask. It costs nothing to check.
Call 01917210027How quickly can you reach me in Sunderland? +
Usually within twenty to thirty minutes anywhere in the city, including Millfield, Roker, Pallion and Silksworth. Washington, Houghton, Hetton and Seaham add a little, and we give you a realistic window on the call.
Do you cover Washington, Houghton and the coast? +
Yes. Washington, Houghton-le-Spring, Hetton-le-Hole, Seaham, Boldon, Whitburn, Ryhope and East Rainton are all covered. Distance adds minutes, never a surcharge.
Is there a call-out charge at night or on a Sunday? +
The price is the same whatever the hour. No night rate, no weekend surcharge and no bank holiday premium. You hear the figure before we set off and it does not change when we arrive.
Why does my board trip whenever the weather turns? +
Along this coast it is nearly always moisture reaching an outside socket, light fitting or meter box that salt air has already corroded. It looks perfectly sound from the front, which is why resetting the board only postpones it.
Our terrace has old wiring. Can it still be repaired? +
Sometimes, and we will tell you honestly. A lot of this housing carries partial rewires with mixed cable and no RCD protection. If a repair is only buying a few months we say so rather than take the money twice.
Do you work with landlords and student lets? +
Yes. A large share of the housing here is rented, often with circuits divided between rooms and the consumer unit never upgraded. Landlord certification can be completed during the same visit.
