Your local electrician in Stockton on the Forest
I'm Frankie — an NICEIC approved electrician based in York, covering Stockton on the Forest northeast of the city. This conservation area village has a traditional character — cottages and houses along Main Street, farm buildings, and a soft rural edge — and the electrical work needs to respect that.
Electrical work in Stockton on the Forest — what I typically see
Conservation area village
Stockton on the Forest's conservation area was designated in 1988 and covers the traditional village core along Main Street. You'll find an informal mix of houses and cottages, farm buildings, outbuildings, and paddocks that give the village its rural character. Stockton Hall, a Grade II listed building from around 1800, sits within the village. Electrical work in conservation area properties needs thoughtful cable routing — I work with the building, not against it.
Rural properties and outbuildings
Many properties here have the space and outbuildings that come with a rural-edge village. Whether it's power to a workshop, lighting for a garage, or a full rewire of a cottage that's had decades of piecemeal additions, I'll survey what's there and give you an honest estimate.
Commuter housing and newer properties
Stockton on the Forest is popular with York commuters, and newer properties in the village often need practical additions — EV charger installation, upgraded kitchen circuits, or better outdoor lighting. The modern wiring in these homes makes additions straightforward.

Common questions from Stockton on the Forest homeowners
Our cottage on Main Street has had bits added to the electrics over the years — is that a problem?
It can be. Piecemeal additions often mean mixed cable types, circuits that aren't properly protected, and a consumer unit that's been added to beyond its capacity. An EICR will test everything and tell us where you stand.
Can you work on farm buildings and outbuildings?
Yes — I wire up workshops, garages, stables, and other outbuildings regularly. I run armoured cable from the main property and fit a separate consumer unit so the outbuilding has its own properly protected supply.
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost in Stockton on the Forest?
From £450+VAT for up to 6 circuits, £50 per extra circuit. I fit RCBOs as standard — individual protection per circuit, so a fault in one room doesn't trip the whole house.
I'm a landlord with a property in Stockton on the Forest — what do I need?
A valid EICR every five years and working smoke and CO alarms. As a YRLA Recognised Service Provider, I can provide the documentation your letting agent and local authority require.
Is there a travel charge for Stockton on the Forest?
No — Stockton on the Forest is within my standard York service area. No travel premium applies.
