South Shields is home. From the seafront at Sandhaven and Marsden out to Harton, Cleadon Park, Whiteleas and the Nook, we look after homes, landlords and businesses right across the town.
You get a local electrician who answers the phone and turns up when promised. Every job is left safe, certified and tidy. From a single socket in a Westoe terrace to a full rewire, we'd love to help.
Our base is here in South Shields, in NE34. The whole town is our home patch.
Pit, port and seaside homes
The town grew on the river, the pits and the sea. The Old Town Hall in the Market Place dates from 1768. Mill Dam and the Holborn riverside are some of the oldest parts of town. The Market Place and King Street are still the heart of the old town.
Westoe Village has listed Georgian and Victorian houses, built for mine and shipyard owners. South Tyneside Council lists Westoe, Mill Dam and Mariners' Cottages among its conservation areas. Old houses like these need wiring that suits their age and their look.
Westoe Colliery ran from 1909 to 1993. Westoe Crown Village now stands on the old pit site. So one part of town has homes from the 1800s right next to much newer ones. Each needs a different kind of work.
The sea is never far away. The town has about six miles of coast, from The Leas cliffs to Marsden Bay. Outdoor lights and sockets near the sea need fittings made for wind and rain.
What we get called out for in South Shields
Period homes in Westoe
Big old houses often have circuits added by many owners over the years. We trace each one, label it and make it safe.
Outdoor lights by the coast
Garden lights and sockets near the seafront need weatherproof fittings. We fit them, seal them and test them.
Checks for landlords
Rented homes need an electrical check at least every five years. We test, explain the results and fix what fails.
Solar and car chargers
We fit solar panels and car chargers on homes across the town. We check your supply first and certify the work at the end.
