04Why us

What “done right” means

Six promises that apply to every job, big or small.

Price

Agreed before the tools come out

You know the cost before anything starts. If a surprise turns up under the floor, we pause and ask.

Speed

Faults jump the queue

No power is a priority, not a booking. Breakdowns are dealt with ahead of planned jobs.

Finish

Neat enough to photograph

Cables dressed, boards labelled, holes filled and the dust gone. That’s what “done right” means to us.

Housing

At home in Tyneside flats

Upper and lower flats, shared stairwells and old conversions. We sort out what feeds what before we start.

Coast

Built for sea air

Outdoor work near the front gets sealed fittings and fixings that won’t rust within a winter.

Clarity

Explained in plain English

Test results and certificates are walked through with you, so you know what you’ve got.

Landlord electrical certificates

With so many rented terraces and flats in South Tyneside, EICRs are a big part of the week. We test, issue the report and quote any remedial work clearly, so you meet the five-year requirement without the hassle.

Outdoor and coastal electrics

Sea air finds every weak spot in an outdoor fitting. Garden lights, outdoor sockets, EV chargers and floodlights near the coast get sealed, properly rated kit and connections kept out of the weather.

06FAQs

Questions we get asked

Can you come out today in South Shields?

For a real fault, such as no power, a breaker that trips straight back off or anything that smells of burning, phone us and we’ll do our best to get someone to you the same day. Planned work gets booked in at a time that suits you.

Where do you cover?

South Shields and the rest of South Tyneside south of the river: Westoe, Harton, Cleadon, the Boldons, Hebburn, Jarrow and everywhere in between. If you’re just outside that, ask anyway.

I own a Tyneside flat. Do the upper and lower flats share anything?

Usually each flat has its own meter and board, but older conversions sometimes share an earth, a loft run or a stairwell light. We check exactly what feeds what before touching anything, so one flat’s work doesn’t leave the other without power.

Do outdoor lights corrode faster near the sea?

They can. Salt air is hard on cheap fittings and exposed screws. Near the coast we fit properly rated, sealed fittings and stainless fixings, and put the connections where the weather can’t reach them.

How often does a rented property need an EICR?

In England, private landlords need an Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every five years, and tenants must be given a copy. We test, write it up and price any remedial work separately so you know exactly where you stand.

My lights flicker. Is that dangerous?

Sometimes it’s just a bulb or a dimmer that doesn’t suit LEDs. If it’s several lights at once, or it comes with buzzing or warmth at a switch, get it looked at, as it can point to a loose connection.

Should I replace my old fuse box?

If it still has rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, or a wooden backboard and loose cables, it’s worth an upgrade. If it’s in decent shape, we’ll say so and save you the money.

Can I have an EV charger fitted?

If you have a drive or other off-street parking, almost certainly. We check the supply and the board first, then mount the charger where the lead reaches the car comfortably.

Will you give me a price first?

Always. You get a clear price before work starts, and if something hidden turns up we stop and talk to you before going further.

How do I get in touch?

Ring 0191 934 0247 for the quickest answer, especially if it’s urgent. Or use either form on this page and it comes straight through to us.
