To The Rescue

Yes, and they get lifted above whatever was in the diary. Anything that has put the property in darkness, kept a breaker from holding, left scorch marks round an accessory or produced a burning smell is treated as urgent. Ring 01422 774339, say what you are looking at, and we will name the thing to switch off before we leave the yard and tell you honestly how long we will be.

Halifax and out through the valley — Sowerby Bridge, Elland, Brighouse, Rastrick, Hipperholme, Lightcliffe, Northowram, Southowram, Shelf, King Cross, Pellon, Ovenden, Illingworth, Mixenden, Boothtown, Warley, Norland, Copley, Siddal, Greetland, Stainland, Holywell Green, Barkisland, Ripponden, Luddendenfoot, Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge, Cragg Vale and Todmorden.

Mostly it decides where cable can go rather than what the job involves. In an over-and-under terrace the flat above is a separate property, cellars frequently open onto a street a full storey below the front door, and the back garden can sit level with the bedroom windows. All of that rules out the route you would take anywhere else. What you gain is a cellar and an attic that usually run the full footprint, which often makes a rewire here less destructive than in an ordinary flat-plot semi.

There is no single answer, because adding a socket and rewiring a house sit at opposite ends of the scale. If you can describe a small job clearly we will usually give you a number on the call. Board changes, rewires and anything inside an old stone property get a visit first, since nobody benefits from a guess made over the phone. Whichever route it takes, the figure is settled before we start.

Anything that sat below the water line needs inspecting and testing before it goes back into use, and in most cases sockets, switches and accessories on affected circuits get replaced rather than dried out. If the consumer unit was in it, that comes out. While a property is being put back is also the sensible moment to raise sockets and move the board upstairs, and we'd usually recommend it in the valley bottom.

Yes — it's routine here. A wall a foot and a half thick just means a longer core drill and more thought about where the cable enters and exits so it stays tidy on both sides. What matters more is what the incoming supply will carry and where the lead will naturally sit once the car's parked. We'd rather see it than guess.

Everything permanently wired into the building gets inspected and tested: distribution board, buried circuits, accessories, lighting points, plus the earthing and bonding arrangements holding it all together. The output is a formal report marked satisfactory or not, with each defect assigned a code reflecting how urgent it is. We sit down and explain what each code actually means for you, then quote any remedial work on its own so the two decisions stay separate.

Yes. That usually means a permanent supply and a fused connection at the boiler or the board, then commissioning the unit and pairing it once it's live. Plenty of these get bought and then stall because the wiring centre or the boiler side wasn't sorted first, so it's worth having the electrical side looked at before installation day.

Yes. EICRs, safety certificates, remedials and PAT testing for rented properties, and holiday lets too, which are common enough round Hebden Bridge and Todmorden. Changeover days are tight, so tell us the let pattern when you ring and we'll fit the work into the gaps.

The phone. 01422 774339 puts you through to somebody holding a screwdriver rather than a headset, and for anything urgent that matters. If it is easier to write it down, either form on this page lands with us instantly and we will call you back to agree a slot.
