Hawes and Upper Wensleydale. This is as far up the dale as the patch goes and it is farming country almost all the way, which shapes what the work looks like.
Exposure is the difference between a fitting lasting fifteen years and lasting three. Driving rain that finds its way into anything facing the wrong direction, wind that works at fixings, and winters that get into any joint not properly made in the first place.
It means outside work gets specified for where it actually is. Correct enclosures, glands done properly, cable supported so it is not swinging on its terminations all winter. It costs a bit more on the day and saves a call out in February.
Most of the buildings up here that need electrical work are agricultural, and that is the work this business is set up for. Three phase supplies and distribution, long runs between buildings, livestock buildings with the conditions that come with them, and machinery that starts under load.
It is worth saying plainly that a lot of domestic electricians will not take farm work on. If you have rung round and been turned down, that is usually why, and it is not a reason to settle for somebody having a go.
The full range is available everywhere on the patch. These are the four that come up most around Hawes and Upper Wensleydale.
Yes, Hawes and Upper Wensleydale are on the covered list. It is a fair distance from Hunton, so for smaller jobs it makes sense to get everything that needs doing looked at in one visit rather than spreading it over several.
Sometimes, and it depends what condition it is in and what you now want to run off it. That is exactly the sort of thing that has to be tested rather than judged by eye. What you will get is a straight answer on whether it is worth keeping or whether the money is better spent replacing it.
Tell me roughly where you are and what needs doing. I come back to you within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
