What York Customers Say
Recent callouts, in their own words.
“Whole house lost power late at night. He was with us within half an hour, found a failed connection in the kitchen and had us back on quickly.”
“Timber-framed building in the centre. They checked the whole cable route rather than only the fitting, and explained exactly what needed doing.”
“After the river came up our board was never right. They tested everything that had been under water and made it safe properly.”
“Student house with a board that could not cope. They explained the options plainly, upgraded the unit and issued the certificate the same day.”
“Burning smell from a socket on a Sunday evening. Told me what to isolate while driving over, then replaced the back box and tested the ring.”
“Cafe lost power an hour before opening. Someone arrived in twenty-five minutes and we served on time. Invoice matched the quote exactly.”
Medieval Timber, Two Rivers and Streets You Cannot Park On
York packs medieval and Georgian buildings inside its walls, sits between two rivers that rise most winters, and fills thousands of terraces with students.
Inside the walls, timber frames and listed status decide where a cable can physically run, and old wiring close to old timber is a genuine fire risk rather than a theoretical one. Along the Ouse and Foss, properties in Fishergate, South Bank and Clifton know flood water, and anything that has been submerged needs testing before it goes back into service. Around Heslington, Fulford and Badger Hill the terraces are let room by room with the consumer unit never upgraded. Three very different problems within a mile of each other.
- Listed and timber-framed property
- Flood-affected riverside homes
- Student lets, landlords and agents
- Certificates issued the same day
Questions From York Callers
If what you are seeing is not here, phone and ask. It costs nothing to check.
Call 01904911123How quickly can you reach me in York? +
Usually within twenty-five to thirty-five minutes anywhere in the city, including Acomb, Clifton, Fulford and Heworth. Villages out towards Strensall, Easingwold or Stamford Bridge add a little, and we give you a realistic window on the call.
Do you cover the villages around York? +
Yes. Haxby, Wigginton, Copmanthorpe, Poppleton, Bishopthorpe, Dunnington, Strensall, Stamford Bridge and Easingwold are all covered. Rural 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.
Can you work on listed and timber-framed buildings? +
Yes, and much of our work inside the walls is exactly that. Old wiring close to old timber is a real fire risk, so we check the route a cable takes rather than only the fitting at the end of it, and we will say plainly if a job needs consent first.
We were flooded. Is it safe to use the electrics? +
Not until they have been checked. Anything that has been under water needs testing before it goes back into service, including sockets, the board and any cable that was submerged. Call and we will tell you what to isolate while we are on the way.
Parking in the centre is difficult. Is that a problem? +
It is ours to deal with, not yours. Our electricians handle the footstreets, loading restrictions and permit zones every day, and parking is never added to your invoice.
