What we’re asked for most in Hyde Park
The jobs that come up again and again in Hyde Park, each with a written estimate before work starts.
- Landlord electrical safetyA large share of Hyde Park's terraces are let to students by private landlords, and each let needs a valid EICR, renewed at least every five years.
- Smoke alarm and fire safetyA shared house spread over a cellar, two main floors and an attic bedroom needs alarms that sound together on every level, not one battery unit in the hall.
- EICR testingWorth booking before you buy a terrace here, since a house built well over a century ago may have had several partial rewires in its lifetime.
- Consumer unit upgradesSwapping an old fuse board for an RCD-protected unit is a common fix when testing on a terrace of this age flags a problem.

Electrical work in Hyde Park
Including Woodhouse and Blenheim, LS6.
Hyde Park sits in LS6 between the University of Leeds and Headingley, with Woodhouse Moor, one of the busiest parks in the city, on its university side. Most of the housing is late Victorian and Edwardian brick terracing, either back-to-back or facing wide streets with shared alleyways behind, plus a pocket of 1980s council housing between Hyde Park Road and Woodsley Road. Woodhouse, to the south-east, has similar red-brick back-to-backs and through terraces, while Blenheim takes in the streets around Blenheim Terrace and Blenheim Walk. Locals know the area for the Hyde Park Picture House and the Brudenell Social Club.
A large number of these houses are owned by private landlords who rent to students, and that drives most of the electrical work here. A Leeds back-to-back typically runs from a cellar up to an attic bedroom, so a shared house is best served by interlinked smoke alarms that reach every level, and every let needs a landlord EICR. In houses this old the wiring can have been extended piecemeal by a string of owners, and a consumer unit upgrade is often what testing points to when it finds a board with no RCD protection.
Parking on the tightly packed terrace streets can be scarce. If you are a landlord booking a test, tell us how we get in and whether your tenants need notice, and we will arrange the visit around them.

Came to repair the toilet light at Orion cafe Hyde Park corner. He had to stay late to make the wiring safe so we could open the next day. He did a good job and I would recommend him.

Completed the EICR and remedial work to a great standard, leaving the property safe and tidy. Would happily use again and recommend.
