Why Choose OR Electrics?
Electricity isn't something to take a gamble on. Whether you are upgrading an older Victorian property or need a modern certificate for a rental, we handle this service with strict adherence to BS 7671 regulations. We treat your home as if it were our own, ensuring safety without the jargon.
If you are constantly tripping over extension leads or swapping plugs to boil the kettle, it is time for an upgrade. Modern life demands more power than many of the older properties in Leeds were originally wired for. Relying on daisy-chained extension leads isn't just untidy; it creates a serious fire hazard and can overload your sockets. At OR Electrics, I provide a safe, neat solution by installing additional sockets and switches exactly where you need them. Whether you need USB-integrated sockets in the bedroom, outdoor power for the garden, or dimmer switches to set the mood in the lounge, I handle the work with the utmost care. I don't just spur off the nearest cable; I check that your existing Ring Final Circuit can handle the load and ensure your Consumer Unit offers the RCD protection required by current BS 7671 regulations. I take pride in leaving your home spotless, using dust sheets and keeping chasing work neat and tidy.

In Leeds, where our housing stock ranges from modern new builds to historic Victorian stone terraces and back-to-backs, electrical safety is paramount. Many of these older properties still contain outdated rubber or lead-sheathed cabling that simply can't cope with modern power demands. When you choose OR Electrics for this service, you aren't just getting a quick fix; you are getting a comprehensive solution designed to protect your property and your family from the risks of electrical faults.
We pride ourselves on offering a down-to-earth service that cuts out the confusion. We don't believe in 'cowboy' shortcuts. Every job we undertake is carried out to the latest 18th Edition wiring regulations, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind. From improving energy efficiency with modern solutions to ensuring your damp-proofing doesn't compromise your intake, we handle the unique challenges of West Yorkshire homes with expertise and care.
Will Adding new sockets make a mess of my plaster?
I aim to keep disruption to an absolute minimum. If we need to chase into the wall (common in the brick-built terraces of Leeds), I use dust extraction tools and drop sheets. Where possible, we can route cables under floorboards or use neat trunking if you prefer not to redecorate.
Can I swap my old white switches for metal ones?
Absolutely. Upgrading to brushed chrome, satin steel, or black nickel is a popular choice. However, I will first need to check that your existing back boxes have a suitable earth terminal, as metal fittings require proper earthing for safety.
Do I need a new Fuse Box to add sockets?
Not necessarily, but safety regulations (BS 7671) require that any new socket outlet must be protected by an RCD (Residual Current Device). If your current Consumer Unit is an old re-wireable fuse type without RCD protection, we may need to discuss an upgrade or installing a separate fused spur to ensure the work is legal and safe.
Can you put a socket anywhere I want?
Almost anywhere, provided it complies with building regulations. We have to follow 'safe zones' for cabling within walls (horizontally or vertically from the accessory) so future owners don't accidentally drill into a live cable.
