Gateshead sits between our Durham and Sunderland bases, so our electricians are in the borough most days.
We do everything from single sockets and lighting to full rewires, consumer unit upgrades and EV chargers, all tested and certified to BS 7671. Bigger jobs include plastering and making good by our own team.
For emergencies, ring 0191 369 2405. The phones are manned 24/7.
A lot of the housing in Bensham, Saltwell and Deckham is Tyneside flats: two separate flats in one terrace, each with its own front door. That matters for this work. The upstairs and downstairs flats usually have separate supplies and meters, pipe and cable runs share the same floor void, and access to the loft or the back yard can belong to only one of the two. We work around that, and we talk to the neighbour in the other flat when a job affects them.
Gateshead Council has run selective licensing for private landlords in parts of Bensham and Saltwell. If you let a property there, an up-to-date EICR is part of staying compliant. Our landlord guide explains the rules.
Gateshead sits between our Durham and Sunderland bases, so it is well inside our daily patch. Planning and building control are handled by Gateshead Council.
