What we’re asked for most in Crossgates
The jobs that come up again and again in Crossgates, each with a written estimate before work starts.
- Full house rewiresThe Victorian through terraces on Austhorpe Road and around Marshall Street are the oldest homes here, and wiring from a rewire decades ago may now need renewing.
- EICR testingBuying one of the older terraces or a villa near Tranquility Avenue? A written report on the wiring before you exchange tells you what you are taking on.
- Consumer unit upgradesWhere the cables test sound but the fuse board has no RCDs, a new consumer unit adds that protection without the cost of a rewire.
- EV charger installationWhere a Pendas Fields or Crossgates home has off-street parking, we fit a wall charger on its own protected circuit, sized to what your supply can take.

Electrical work in Crossgates
Including Pendas Fields, LS15.
Crossgates lies four miles east of Leeds city centre in LS15, with the Outer Ring Road running through it as Station Road. It grew into a commuter village after its coal pits closed in 1882, helped by the railway, and Cross Gates station on the Leeds to Selby line still serves it. The housing reflects that history: Victorian through terraces on Austhorpe Road and around Marshall Street, larger villas near Tranquility Avenue, later detached and semi-detached houses and newer low-rise flats opposite the shopping centre. Pendas Fields, a private estate built in the 1980s, is counted as part of the same area.
That spread of ages decides what a house needs. In the terraces and villas, the first question is how old the wiring is, and an EICR answers it with a written report rather than a guess. If the report shows the cables are past their best, a full rewire is the fix; if they are sound but the fuse board has no RCDs, a new consumer unit may be all that is needed. On Pendas Fields the houses are around forty years old and the wiring is younger, so the work is more likely to be adding something: an EV charger, outdoor sockets or a circuit for an extension.
