Bridlington · where I'm based
Certified wiring for homes and lets, from an electrician based in Bridlington.
I work from Bridlington, so a job in the Old Town, Hilderthorpe or Sewerby is the shortest drive I make. Near the seafront, the salt air off the bay is hard on anything wired outside.

- Fire alarm design, installation and commissioning to BS 5839-1
Bridlington's housing and estates
The housing changes as you cross the town. Behind the seafront, Hilderthorpe was mostly built before 1919, and more than half its homes are flats, many of them bedsits carved out of bigger houses. Close to half the homes there are rented privately.
The industrial estates are out at Carnaby and Bessingby, and the units there need commercial condition reports and emergency lighting tests like any workplace.
Bungalow rewires around Bridlington
About one home in five in the East Riding is a bungalow, against fewer than one in ten across England. In Bridlington North and Bempton it's nearly half.
A two-bedroom bungalow rewire is from £2,950. Most rewires take me about a working week, and nobody has to move out while I go from one room to the next.
The standard job: The smallest standard bungalow, two bedrooms with loft access: one board, standard accessory count, no plaster repair or decoration; larger bungalows are quoted after the free survey.
Other work in and around the town
Landlords in the town need a condition report on each let, and the rules for private lets put a limit of 5 years between one and the next. I carry out every inspection and test in person, and you give your tenant a copy of the coded report.
When a circuit keeps tripping or half the house goes dark, fault finding in Bridlington starts with a visit to trace the cause, and I price the repair before touching it. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays count as out of hours, and I still come out then.
Where the cable is in good order and only the fuse board is past it, replacing the consumer unit may be all the job needs. The condition report tells us which it is.
Guesthouses and holiday flats sit outside the rules for private lets, because a guest isn't living there as a main home. Whoever runs one still has fire safety duties, and a condition report is the plainest record that the wiring has been inspected.
I also take on rewires and condition reports in Scarborough, about 35 minutes up the A165 through Filey.
Salt air and outdoor electrics
Salt carried in the air off the sea corrodes metal fittings outside faster than it would a few miles inland, and once a seal fails, rain gets in behind it.
The wiring regulations make whoever fits outdoor equipment allow for anything likely to corrode it and for water getting in. On the Quay and along the seafront, that means outside lights and sockets rated for the weather, with their seals left whole after fitting.
When I do a condition report on a house near the sea, I open the outside accessories and look for rust and damp inside them. A wet outdoor socket can trip the RCD every time it rains.

Work that belongs to someone else
Nothing before the meter is mine to touch. Here the supply belongs to Northern Powergrid, the network operator, and the meter is your energy supplier's property.
So if the supply needs moving or upgrading, they do their part first. Then I connect your wiring to the new position and test it.
