Questions from Kirkstall
What people in Kirkstall ask us most. Not covered here? Ring and ask.
Do you cover Kirkstall Forge and the newer apartment blocks?
Yes. Kirkstall's newer riverside developments are part of our regular coverage alongside the older streets around them. Flats and apartments have their own wiring considerations, so get in touch with the details of your property and we'll confirm what's involved before you book.
Do you charge to attend a job in Kirkstall?
We charge for the first hour to attend. That hour includes up to an hour to resolve the fault, and we explain what we find and what any further work will cost before you decide. For planned work, such as a rewire or a consumer unit, you get a written estimate before work starts.
Do you cover areas near Kirkstall, like Burley or Bramley?
Yes. Kirkstall is part of our regular coverage across Leeds, and that extends to the surrounding streets and neighbouring areas, not just the postcode itself. If you're just outside Kirkstall, get in touch and we'll confirm we cover you before you book anything.
