To Your Door

Yes, and a breakdown gets put in front of whatever was already in the diary. Anything that has taken a property's supply out, stopped a breaker holding, marked an accessory with scorching or produced a burning smell counts. Ring 0191 934 0119, tell us what you can see, and we will name the thing to switch off before we leave.

The city itself and the whole of Tyneside — Jesmond, Heaton, Byker, Walker, Gosforth, Fenham, Benwell, Denton, Newburn and the west end, across to Wallsend, North Shields, Tynemouth, Cullercoats and Whitley Bay, and south over the river to Gateshead, Low Fell, Whickham, Dunston, Blaydon and Ryton. Out to Ponteland, Cramlington, Blyth, Bedlington and Prudhoe as well.

That is the Tyneside flat arrangement and it comes with its own quirks. Two front doors, two separate dwellings, and frequently one supply head with meters sitting in a shared cupboard. What belongs to you, what belongs to upstairs and what is communal is not always obvious, and getting that wrong is how people end up isolating a neighbour by accident. We establish it before touching anything.

It depends entirely on the job, and anyone giving a flat rate over the phone for work they have not seen is guessing. Describe something small clearly and we will usually put a figure on it during the call. Rewires, board changes and anything in an older flat get a visit first. Either way the number is agreed before work starts.

Routinely. It mostly comes down to warning and timing. Noisy work gets done in sensible hours, we tell the neighbouring property when a shared supply needs isolating, and where a communal light or stair circuit is involved we work out whose circuit it actually sits on before anything comes off.

Usually an appliance leaking to earth, moisture in an outdoor circuit, or a light fitting that has failed. On older boards one RCD often protects half the property, so the ordinary background leakage from several circuits added together is enough to take it out. Testing establishes which — fitting a new board without finding the fault normally just relocates the problem.

Yes, and we would sooner you rang than lived with it. Swapping a light fitting, adding an outside socket, sorting an extractor fan or fixing a security light are all ordinary call-outs. None of them need bundling with other work to be worth the journey, and the bill matches the job rather than the trip.

Chasing walls and lifting floors makes dust and nobody has ever managed it otherwise. What can be controlled is containment — sheeting down first, a clear-up at the end of each day rather than a promise of one, and every bag of rubble leaving with us. On a rewire you get the room order in advance so you can plan around it.

Frequently. Reports, certificates, whatever remedial work follows, plus appliance testing in the same visit. Scale is irrelevant — a single flat in Heaton or thirty spread from the west end to the coast are both workable. Tell us roughly how many and where, and the route gets built around how you obtain access rather than around our convenience.

The phone. 0191 934 0119 reaches an electrician rather than a call centre, which matters most when something has already gone wrong. If writing suits you better, every form on this site lands with us immediately and we will ring back to agree a time.
