Your local electrician in Earswick
I'm Frankie. Earswick is a small modern village between Huntington and Strensall. The wiring is mostly recent, so the work here is usually additions and upgrades.
Electrical work in Earswick
Modern housing, modern needs
Earswick's housing stock is predominantly modern residential development, which means the wiring itself is typically fine. But modern life makes demands the original builders didn't anticipate: EV chargers, garden office power supplies, smart home systems, and additional circuits for home working setups. These are all straightforward additions when the wiring is modern and accessible.
EV chargers and garden offices
With good-sized driveways and gardens, Earswick properties are well-suited to EV charger installations and garden office power. I'll run a dedicated circuit from your consumer unit, handle the DNO application if needed, and leave you with a fully certified installation.
Common questions
Our house is fairly new — do we still need an EICR?
It depends on the age. If your property is over 10 years old, it's worth having one done as a baseline. If you're buying or selling, lenders and conveyancers increasingly expect to see one. And if you're a landlord, it's a legal requirement every 5 years.
Can you add an EV charger to a modern house?
Yes, and modern houses are the easiest to work with. The consumer unit usually has spare ways, the cable routes are accessible, and the main fuse is often already 100A. A standard 7kW charger installation typically takes half a day. See my EV charger guide for more.

Every job is different, but here's a rough guide:
