Leyburn and the surrounding part of Wensleydale. A market town with shops and small businesses around the square, houses of every age behind them, and farms in every direction once you leave it.
A market town square means a run of small commercial premises, most of them in buildings that were something else first. Shops in old houses, offices above them, and installations that have grown by addition over decades with nobody keeping a record.
The useful first job on those is usually the least glamorous one: finding out what feeds what and labelling the board properly. It costs very little and it turns every future job, including the emergency ones, from an investigation into a repair.
Leyburn is up the dale from Hunton, which is near enough that a half hour job is still a job rather than a trip. That matters for the sort of work people put off: the socket that never worked, the outside light that stopped years ago, the extractor nobody has replaced.
Those tend to sit on a list for years because they are not worth calling anybody out for. From here they are.
The full range is available everywhere on the patch. These are the four that come up most around Leyburn.
Yes. Shops, offices and small commercial units are a regular part of the work, including the awkward evening and early morning slots when a business cannot afford to shut.
You will be told what a job costs before it starts, whatever its size. Ring and describe what needs doing and you will get a straight answer, including if the honest answer is that it is not worth a visit on its own.
