- Consumer unit upgradesIn an older terrace, swapping a fuse board that has no RCDs for a modern consumer unit adds protection against electric shock on every circuit.
- EICR testingWhether it is a converted mill flat or a back-to-back, a condition report gives a buyer or new owner a clear picture of the wiring.

Electrical work in Holbeck
Including Holbeck Urban Village, LS11.
Holbeck begins on the southern edge of Leeds city centre and lies mostly in LS11, between the railway and the River Aire to the north and the M621 to the south. Its conservation area holds a group of early and mid-19th-century industrial buildings that is unique in Leeds, including Temple Works, the Italianate towers of Tower Works, Marshall’s Mill and the Round Foundry. Since 1999 the area around them has been developed as Holbeck Urban Village, a mix of offices, creative businesses and homes, including the 278 flats at Manor Mills.
Away from the mills the housing is plainer. Back-to-back terraces remain, some renovated by the council, alongside the Jenkinson Estate, where low-rise flat blocks were replaced with new social housing. For anyone letting a flat or terrace, the landlord electrical safety inspection is the legal baseline. In the back-to-backs, rooms with windows on one side only make a well-placed extractor fan worth having, and an older board without RCD protection is worth a consumer unit upgrade.

Questions from Holbeck
What people in Holbeck ask us most. Not covered here? Ring and ask.
Do you cover Holbeck Urban Village and Water Lane?
Yes. We cover the apartment buildings around Water Lane, the Round Foundry and Marshall Street, and the terraces and estates further into LS11 towards Beeston. Get in touch with the street or building name and a short description of the job.
Why do back-to-back houses get condensation, and can an electrician help?
A back-to-back has no rear windows, so air cannot flow straight through the house, and moisture from cooking and bathing has nowhere to go unless it is extracted. A correctly sized extractor fan, set to run on after use, clears it at the source.
