What we’re asked for most in Stourton
The jobs that come up again and again in Stourton, each with a written estimate before work starts.
- Consumer unit upgradesThe detached houses on Thwaite Lane date from the 1950s and early 1960s. If the board has never been changed, it will lack the RCD protection a modern unit gives.
- EICR testingA sensible first check on a post-war house whose wiring history is unknown, and a report buyers and sellers are often asked for.
- EV charger installationA detached house with space to park off the road is the simplest setting for a wall-mounted home charger, with no cable trailing across a pavement.
- Security lightingWith industrial units and busy roads as neighbours, motion-sensor lighting over drives, doors and side paths is a practical addition.

Electrical work in Stourton
Two miles south-east of the city centre, Stourton sits between Hunslet, Cross Green and the M1. It was a village of around 2,500 people until the 1970s, when most of its housing was cleared for motorways and industry. Today it is better known for the Freightliner rail terminal and the solar-powered Stourton Park and Ride at junction 7 of the M621, which opened in 2021. The homes that remain include detached houses on Thwaite Lane, built in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Houses of that age were wired for far fewer appliances than a household runs today. The original wiring may have been replaced since, or it may not, and the only way to know is to test it. An EICR gives you a written answer. If the board is an older fuse box, a consumer unit upgrade adds RCD protection, and a detached house with off-road parking is well placed for an EV charger.
Stourton’s roads carry goods traffic to and from the industrial estates through the working day, so mention any access or parking quirks when you book and we will plan the visit around them.

What people in Stourton ask us most. Not covered here? Ring and ask.
Do you still cover Stourton now it is mostly industrial?
Yes, for homes. Our work in Stourton is on the residential streets such as Thwaite Lane and the houses towards Hunslet and Cross Green. Business and industrial premises are handled by our sister company at Commercial Electrician in Leeds.
What work do the post-war houses in Stourton usually need?
Houses built in the 1950s and 60s often still have an early consumer unit, fewer sockets than a household now uses and no outdoor power. An EICR shows which of those matter in your home before you spend anything.
