Your local electrician in Bishopthorpe
I'm Frankie. Bishopthorpe is just south of the city, close enough that I'm there in 10 minutes. Older village core with newer housing around the edges.
What I can help with in Bishopthorpe
Bishopthorpe has some beautiful older properties, many on Main Street and Acaster Lane with character features that need an electrician who'll work with the building, not against it. Rewiring a period home near the Archbishop's Palace conservation area isn't the same as rewiring a modern semi. Routes need to be planned carefully, plaster repaired sympathetically, and fittings chosen to suit the property.
With EV chargers becoming increasingly popular, Bishopthorpe's mix of driveways and older garages means every installation is slightly different. I handle the full process, from the DNO application through to notifying building control once it's fitted.

Common questions
Do you work on period properties in Bishopthorpe?
Yes, including pre-war homes near the village conservation area and Archbishop's Palace. I plan cable routes carefully to preserve original features and minimise disruption to plaster and walls.
How much does an EICR cost in Bishopthorpe?
My EICR pricing is circuit-based: £180 plus VAT for a board of up to six circuits, then £15 plus VAT for each circuit above six. Outside York a distance charge applies on top of that, and the bands are set out in full on my EICR cost page. I don't price by bedroom count, circuit-based pricing is more accurate and transparent.
Is there a call-out fee or travel charge for Bishopthorpe?
There's no call-out fee on top of the hourly rate, and a minimum charge of £95 plus VAT applies to any visit. Outside York a distance charge applies on top of the price of the work, and the two bands are set out in full on my EICR cost page.
Can you install an EV charger at my Bishopthorpe home?
Yes. I handle the whole installation, including the network operator side, which is either an application before the work or a notification within 28 days depending on the supply, and the building control notification where a new circuit means one is needed. Plenty of properties here have a garage or driveway that suits home charging.
I'm a landlord with a property in Bishopthorpe — what certificates do I need?
As a landlord you need the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, with the report given to your tenants, and working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms: a smoke alarm on each storey with living accommodation, and a CO alarm in any such room with a fixed combustion appliance. I am a YRLA Recognised Service Provider, and the paperwork comes in the format letting agents and the council expect.
