Need an electrician in Jarrow? Northstar Electrical is based just down the road in South Shields. We cover the whole town, from the riverside and town centre to Primrose, Monkton, Fellgate and Hedworth.
We have worked in Jarrow homes before. Jobs here have included new lighting, moved sockets and switches and fuse box work. You get one fixed price in writing before we start. We test our work and give you the certificate when we finish.
We are based in South Shields, a short drive west to Jarrow. We also cover Hebburn next door and the Boldons to the south.
What an electrician in Jarrow needs to know
Jarrow is a South Tyneside town on the south bank of the River Tyne. Hebburn is next door to the west. South Shields is to the east and the Boldons are to the south. The Tyne Tunnel starts here and runs under the river to Howdon.
The town has a long past. Bede lived and worked at the monastery of St Paul here about 1,300 years ago. Modern Jarrow grew much later, around Palmer's shipyard. The yard opened in 1852 and closed in 1933. Three years later came the Jarrow March to London.
You can still see that past in the homes. Near the river and town centre you will find older terraces and Tyneside flats. Wiring in homes this old may have been added to many times. Some may still have an old fuse box.
Further south, estates like Fellgate and Hedworth came later. These homes can still need a new fuse box, extra sockets or a car charger.
Monkton is different again. Its old village centre is a conservation area. If your job changes the outside of a home there, check with South Tyneside Council first.
What we get called out for in Jarrow
Lighting
Want new lights in a room? We check the circuit first, fit them neatly and test them.
Moving sockets and switches
A socket or switch in the wrong place is a pain. We can move it and leave a tidy finish.
Fuse boxes
An old fuse box may lack modern safety cover. We test first, then fit and certify a new one if you need it.

What we do in Jarrow
Electrician in Jarrow, questions answered
Do you cover all of Jarrow?
Yes. We cover the town centre, Primrose, Monkton, Fellgate and Hedworth. We also cover Hebburn and the Boldons.
Can you work on older terraces and Tyneside flats?
Yes. We test first to see what is there. Then you get a fixed price in writing for the work your home needs.
Does an older Jarrow home need a full rewire?
Not always. Often a new fuse board and a few repairs will do. An EICR shows what your home needs, so you only pay for work that is needed.
I rent out a home in Jarrow. How often does it need a check?
At least every five years. We test the home, explain the results and fix what fails.
Can you work in the Monkton conservation area?
Yes. Check with South Tyneside Council first if the job changes the outside of your home. We keep new fittings neat.
