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.
As a qualified Electrician serving Leeds, I see plenty of DIY outdoor lighting jobs that are frankly dangerous—cables clipped along fences without mechanical protection or non-waterproof junctions buried in damp flowerbeds. At OR Electrics, I take a completely different approach. Whether you need a PIR security light to deter prowlers from your back-to-back terrace or subtle mood lighting to highlight the stone features of a Victorian garden, safety is non-negotiable. I use high-quality, IP-rated fittings that can genuinely withstand the wet West Yorkshire weather, paired with properly installed Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cabling. Every outdoor circuit I install is fully RCD protected at the consumer unit, ensuring that a bit of rain won't trip the power to your entire house. From illuminating dark driveways to installing smart-controlled garden ambiences, I ensure the work is tidy, certified, and built to last.

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 Many of these older properties still contain outdated rubber or lead-sheathed cabling that simply can't cope with modern power demands.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 installing a security light annoy my neighbours?
It's a common concern in Leeds, especially with terraced properties. I carefully position and angle PIR sensors and use specific shrouding to ensure the light only triggers when someone is on your property, not when a car drives past or a neighbour goes in their garden.
Can I just run a cable from a plug socket inside?
I strongly advise against 'drilling and plugging' as a permanent solution. Outdoor lighting needs to be properly fused and, most importantly, RCD protected to prevent fatal shocks in wet conditions. I install a proper fused spur or dedicated circuit to ensure it meets regulations.
Do you install solar lights?
While I can, I generally recommend hard-wired mains LED lighting. In West Yorkshire, we often don't get enough sunlight in winter to keep solar batteries charged when you need them most. Hard-wired LEDs are reliable, much brighter, and cost pennies to run.
How do you protect the cables in the garden?
I don't use standard grey twin and earth outside. I use Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cable which is resistant to garden tools, pests, and rot. If burying is required, I ensure it's at the correct depth with warning tape, playing strictly by the book.
