Hartlepool's coastal location directly affects electrical installation practice in ways that matter for the longevity of your installation. Salt-laden air accelerates corrosion on external fittings, consumer unit enclosures mounted in garages, and cable entry points — we use IP-rated enclosures with corrosion-resistant fixings on all external work within the TS24, TS25 and TS26 postcode areas as standard. The Headland conservation area contains some of the oldest domestic properties in the borough, including pre-war and Victorian housing that frequently has outdated wiring, insufficient earthing, and consumer units that no longer meet BS 7671 standards. By contrast, the substantial modern housing developments of West Park, Hart Village and Wynyard include well-wired homes that more often require additions: EV charger circuits, additional ring mains, or consumer unit upgrades to accommodate increased electrical loads. ALPS Electrical is NAPIT Registered and a Registered Competent Person — we self-certify all notifiable electrical work, issue your Building Regulations certificate directly, and manage all the technical compliance documentation so you do not have to.

Frequently Asked Questions
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a comprehensive inspection of your property electrical wiring, consumer unit, earthing and bonding. Landlords are legally required to have an EICR every 5 years for rented properties. Homeowners are recommended to have one every 10 years or when buying a property. An EICR identifies any defects that could pose a safety risk.
A consumer unit (fuse board) upgrade typically costs between £450 and £800 depending on the number of circuits and complexity. This includes a new metal consumer unit with RCBO protection on every circuit, all reconnection work, minor earthing and bonding upgrades if needed, and an EICR on completion. A modern consumer unit is often required before installing EV chargers or solar panels.
The recommended intervals are: rental properties every 5 years (legal requirement), homeowner-occupied properties every 10 years, commercial properties every 5 years, and swimming pools/special locations annually. You should also have electrics tested when buying a property, after any flood or fire damage, or if you notice warning signs like flickering lights, burning smells or frequently tripping breakers.
We prioritise urgent electrical safety issues during our working hours (Monday to Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 9am-2pm). If you have a complete power loss, burning smell, or other electrical emergency outside hours, call your electricity distributor (Northern Powergrid: 105) for supply issues, or contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible the next working day.
We cover the whole of Teesside (Middlesbrough, Stockton, Darlington, Hartlepool, Redcar, Yarm, Thornaby, Eaglescliffe, Billingham, Ingleby Barwick, Guisborough), North East England (Durham, Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead), North Yorkshire (Northallerton, Stokesley, Thirsk, Ripon, Richmond, York), and parts of West and South Yorkshire.
