Covering Ilkley & Otley and nearby
Our Leeds emergency area runs right up the Wharfe valley: Guiseley and Menston (LS20, LS29), Otley and Pool (LS21), and Burley-in-Wharfedale, Ben Rhydding, Ilkley and Addingham (LS29).
The valley has some of the oldest housing we work on. Thick stone walls, Victorian villas and cottages that have been partly rewired more than once mean faults can hide behind a lot of masonry. We trace them properly and keep the disruption down.
We cover LS20, LS21 and LS29, including Otley, Ilkley, Burley-in-Wharfedale, Menston, Guiseley, Pool-in-Wharfedale, Addingham and Ben Rhydding.

What we find in Wharfedale homes
Damp in stone walls and cellars
Moisture getting into old cable and back boxes is a common reason for RCDs tripping, especially after a wet spell. Cellar boards are often where the problem starts.
Victorian villas with a patchwork of wiring
Ilkley’s big terraced and semi-detached villas often mix original circuits with newer ones. We find which part has failed and tell you plainly what needs doing.
Holiday lets and rentals
Lets need to stay safe and certified. If a fault is found on a call-out, we can sort the repair and the EICR in one go.

Questions from Ilkley & Otley
Do you cover Ilkley and Addingham at night?
Yes. Ilkley, Ben Rhydding, Addingham and Burley-in-Wharfedale are LS29, which is inside our 24/7 Leeds emergency area, as are Otley, Pool, Menston and Guiseley.
Our electrics trip whenever it’s been raining. What’s causing it?
In older stone houses it’s usually damp reaching an outside light, an outdoor socket, or old cable in a cellar or external wall. We test each circuit to find the one that’s leaking to earth, rather than guessing.
How much does an emergency call-out cost?
We tell you the call-out charge on the phone before we set off, so there are no surprises. Any repair beyond making the installation safe is priced before we do it.
My power is off. Is it my electrics or a power cut?
Check whether neighbours and street lights are off too. If they are, it’s probably a power cut: call 105, the free national power cut number. If only your home is off, look at your consumer unit for a tripped switch and call us.
