Honest About Where We Are. Reliable About Where We Work.
Our office is at 4 Forestdale Way, Bradford BD18 1QP. Most days an engineer is already working a Leeds postcode: a Headingley landlord EICR, a Roundhay consumer unit upgrade, a Horsforth kitchen rewire, an EV charger on a Chapel Allerton terraced street. Leeds is not a marketing add-on for us. It is where we work.
Some Leeds electricians will tell you they are around the corner from your LS postcode. We will tell you the truth. We are a 20 minute drive from LS1 when the M62 behaves. We come to you. We do not charge a Leeds surcharge. The pricing on this page is the same whether the job is in BD18 or LS6. And because we are not running a Leeds office with Leeds overheads, the prices below are honest starting figures, not bait numbers.
The other thing we will not do: promise you a Leeds response time we cannot keep. If you need an emergency callout in Leeds today, call 07411 562115 and we will tell you exactly when an engineer can be on your doorstep, based on where they are right now. No invented "30 minutes anywhere in Leeds" claim. No bait. Just a real ETA from a real electrician.

Common Leeds Electrical Problems
The patterns of Leeds housing stock and tenancy create electrical problems you do not see in other parts of West Yorkshire. Below are the ones we work on most often. If anything sounds like your situation, call 07411 562115.
HMO EICR overdue in LS6 student lets
Landlords with student HMOs in Headingley and Hyde Park must EICR every five years and at every tenancy change under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. We turn portfolio EICRs around quickly with photo evidence per property.
EV charger needed on a terraced street with no driveway
Common across Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay and Burley. We fit kerbside-compatible chargers with cross-pavement channels (Gul-E or similar), liaise with Leeds City Council for permits, and handle the OZEV grant paperwork where the property qualifies.
Wooden or plastic fuse box in a Victorian Roundhay terrace
If your board is wooden, plastic, or has wire fuses, it falls short of current 18th Edition BS 7671 standards. We replace with a metal RCBO consumer unit and Type 2 SPD, brought up to current regs in a single day on most properties.
Tripping RCD that will not stay reset in an LS17 family home
Usually a faulty appliance, a damaged cable in an extension, or moisture in an outside socket. We isolate circuit-by-circuit with a clamp meter and find the source within an hour. Fixed during the same visit on most jobs.
Period property rewire with sensitive containment
Listed terraces in Roundhay and Alwoodley need careful cable routing that respects original cornicing, picture rails and plaster mouldings. Lift-and-relay flooring, surface containment where chasing is not appropriate, certificates that satisfy your conservation officer.
Smart lighting that will not commission on old Leeds wiring
Pre-1980 LS6 and LS7 properties often lack a neutral at the switch position, which most smart switches need. We add a neutral, fit a no-neutral capable switch, or pivot to smart bulbs as appropriate. Honest advice before you spend on hardware that will not work.
Built for Leeds Housing Stock
The job changes with the property. A Victorian terrace in LS6 needs a different approach to a new build in LS17. We have done all of the below, often more than once a month.
Victorian terraces
Headingley, Burley, Chapel Allerton. Original plaster mouldings, lifted floorboards, careful rewires.
Edwardian semis
Roundhay, Alwoodley, Meanwood. Substantial properties with mixed-era wiring needing full upgrade.
HMO student lets
Hyde Park, Headingley, Woodhouse. Multi-occupant compliance, portfolio EICRs, fast turnaround.
New build estates
Apperley Bridge edge, Allerton Bywater. Modern wiring needing EV chargers, smart home retrofit, garden circuits.
Listed buildings
Conservation areas in LS8 and LS17. Sensitive containment, surface routing, certificates that pass conservation review.
Commercial premises
Leeds city centre shops, suburban salons, light industrial units. Fixed wire testing, scheduled around trading hours.
Landlord portfolios
Letting agents with 10 to 100 properties across Leeds. Batched EICRs, single PDF summary, coordinated as one workflow.
1930s semis
Horsforth, Cross Gates, Moortown. Common consumer unit upgrade plus partial kitchen rewire combination.

Verified on our Google Business Profile. The reviews below are real, quoted verbatim. We are working to bring more Leeds-specific reviewers forward as our Leeds work grows.
"Top guys, very pleased with our EV charger installation in Armley Leeds. Very please, with the workmanship, time keeping, tidiness, will definitely be using again"
"Leeds and Bradford Electricians are a Great company, did my full home rewire in Leeds. Turned up on time kept to the price and completed to a high standard, in adition to this they always answed my calls and kept me udated daily. Will use them in the future as my go to Electricians."
"Jinder did a full rewire of our Victorian house that we had just purchased. He gave a lot of care and attention to the planning, preparation and execution of the work, there are a lot of period features. He planned his work around preserving those whereas others would just shrug and say they'd probably get wrecked. His care and attention meant that the programme for the works overran but he kept to the original price agreed in advance. Very kind, friendly and polite, can tell that he cares about what he does and wants to do a good job. Had a slight issue with one plug socket which came loose a few months later and he came by and fixed it that weekend. Was a really big job and we are really pleased with the result."

Questions Leeds Customers Ask
Are you based in Leeds?
No. Our office is in Bradford at 4 Forestdale Way, BD18 1QP. We are honest about that. What we are is in Leeds daily: jobs in Headingley, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Horsforth, Moortown and Alwoodley every week. Leeds is roughly a 20 minute drive from our office when traffic behaves. We do not charge a Leeds surcharge and the prices on this page apply across every LS postcode we cover.
Which Leeds postcodes do you cover?
LS1, LS2, LS3, LS4, LS5, LS6, LS7, LS8, LS10, LS11, LS12, LS13, LS14, LS15, LS16, LS17, LS18 and LS28. That covers Leeds city centre, Burley, Headingley, Hyde Park, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Hunslet, Beeston, Holbeck, Armley, Bramley, Seacroft, Cross Gates, Adel, Alwoodley, Moortown, Horsforth and Pudsey. If your postcode is not on the list, send it via WhatsApp and we will tell you straight whether we cover it.
How much does an electrician in Leeds cost?
Our call-out is £95 + VAT for the first hour (covers travel, diagnosis and the first hour on site) and £65 + VAT per hour after that. EICRs start at £140 + VAT for a 1-bed flat and rise to £350 + VAT for a 5-bed detached. EV charger installs start at £750 + VAT supply-and-fit. Consumer unit upgrades start at £550 + VAT for a full RCBO board with Type 2 Surge Protection Device (SPD). House rewires start at £3,500 + VAT for a 2-bed terrace. All prices exclude VAT (charged at the prevailing UK rate). Every quote is free and itemised. None of the page-1 Leeds electricians publish their prices. We do.
Are you NICEIC-registered for Leeds work?
We are NICEIC-compliant on every Leeds job, working to the current 18th Edition BS 7671:2018 (including the 2022 amendments). Harjinder holds City & Guilds Level 3 in Electrical Installation, City & Guilds 2391 Inspection & Testing, 18th Edition certification, EV charger installation training and Part P competence for Building Regulations. We are a Companies House registered business (16779966), fully insured for public liability while we work and after we leave.
Can you do EICRs on Leeds student HMOs?
Yes. We do regular HMO and student-let EICRs across LS6 (Headingley, Hyde Park), LS2 (city centre student blocks) and LS3 (Burley). Landlords must EICR every five years and at every tenancy change under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. Portfolio bookings are coordinated as a single batched workflow with a single PDF summary report grouped by address. We work to your tenancy schedule and provide photo evidence for every C1, C2, C3 and FI code raised.
Can you fit EV chargers on Leeds terraced streets without a driveway?
Yes, and this is one of our most common Leeds jobs. We fit kerbside-compatible chargers using cross-pavement channels (Gul-E or similar) where permitted, liaise with Leeds City Council for cross-pavement consent, and handle the OZEV grant paperwork where the property qualifies. We will be upfront if your situation does not work (some terraces genuinely cannot get a compliant install) rather than taking your money for something that will fail commissioning.
Do you cover commercial premises in Leeds city centre?
Yes. Shops, salons, cafes, offices and light industrial units across LS1 and the surrounding postcodes. Fixed wire testing scheduled around your trading hours, emergency lighting compliance, consumer unit upgrades, fire alarm interface work. We can issue an EICR and remedial quote on the same visit for most small commercial premises, with a single invoice and a single point of contact rather than coordinating multiple subcontractors.
Will the same electrician do my Leeds job from start to finish?
On most jobs, yes. Harjinder personally takes the call, attends the quote, completes the work and issues the certificate. On larger rewires we will send a second pair of hands to keep the timeline tight, and you will know who is arriving in advance. We do not subcontract Leeds work to a rotating pool of unknown electricians. If you booked us, we turn up.
