Electrician in Cookridge, Leeds

Cookridge became part of Leeds in 1926, and building of the village began the following year on a triangle of land between Cookridge Lane, Moseley Wood Lane and Green Lane. Six firms of builders worked on it, each with its own style. Council and private estates followed after the war in phases, including Moseley Wood from 1957, and much of the former Cookridge Hospital site north of the Outer Ring Road has been used for housing since 2010. Cookridge Hall, which dates from around 1764, is now a golf and leisure venue.

That spread of ages decides the work. A house from the late 1920s or 1930s may have been rewired once, twice or not at all, so an EICR is the sensible first step before buying or starting building work. If you are extending or converting the loft, our attic and extension wiring service designs the new circuits in from the start instead of tacking them on afterwards. On the post-war estates the fuse board tends to be the weak point, and a consumer unit upgrade adds RCD protection across the whole house.

The newer homes on the hospital site were wired far more recently, so work there is more likely to be an addition, such as outdoor sockets or a charge point, than a safety upgrade.
