Northallerton and the surrounding area. The county town, so more offices and shops than most of the patch, and a good deal of workshop and outbuilding work in the country around it.
A workshop installation was completed near Northallerton: a new consumer unit, a 16A blue industrial socket, additional sockets and switching, and LED high bay lighting throughout the building.
That job is a good example of what an outbuilding actually needs. The high bay lighting is the part people notice, because a big space lit properly stops being somewhere you avoid working in winter. The 16A industrial socket is the part that matters longer term, because it means heavier equipment can be run safely rather than through an adaptor and a domestic plug that was never meant for it.
Being the administrative centre means more offices, shops and small units here than in the market towns further up the dales. Most of that work is additions and alterations to installations that have been changed by every previous occupier, and the first useful step is nearly always establishing what is actually there.
Where trading hours matter, which parts of a job need doing out of hours gets settled at the quoting stage so it is in the price rather than added later.
The full range is available everywhere on the patch. These are the four that come up most around Northallerton.
The patch runs from Darlington down to Harrogate and York, and out west to Reeth and Hawes. If your village is not named anywhere on this site, it is still worth ringing to ask.
Yes. LED high bay lighting is the usual answer in a building with height, and it makes a bigger difference than most people expect. It is normally worth doing at the same time as any power work, since both need access to the same places.
It is the blue commando type socket, for equipment that draws more than a normal 13A plug should be asked to carry. If you are running heavier machinery in a workshop off an extension lead and a domestic socket, that is the thing to put right.
