Yes. Element Services is NAPIT approved. Every electrician who works on your property is qualified to 18th Edition (BS 7671) and registered as a Part P Competent Person. You can verify our registration on the NAPIT website at any time — we encourage it.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property. It identifies damage, deterioration, defects and non-compliance with current wiring regulations. Owner-occupied homes: recommended every 10 years, or at change of occupancy. Rented homes in England: legally required every 5 years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. Commercial premises: every 5 years is standard, more frequent in high-use environments.

A standard domestic consumer unit upgrade in Harrogate typically ranges from £550 to £900 fully fitted, certified and tested, depending on the number of circuits and the condition of existing earthing and bonding. We provide a fixed written quote before any work starts — no surprises on completion.

We do not charge a call-out fee for quotes. For reactive fault-finding we'll tell you any diagnostic charge up front, and give you a written quote for the repair before we proceed. No hidden charges, no inflated emergency fees.

Part P of the Building Regulations covers electrical safety in dwellings in England and Wales. Certain jobs — including consumer unit replacement, new circuits and work in special locations like bathrooms — are "notifiable" and must be carried out by a registered Competent Person, like Element Services, or inspected by Building Control. Using a Part P registered electrician means the work is self-certified, notified to your local authority, and you receive a compliance certificate for your records and any future house sale.

Yes. We carry out EICR inspections on rented properties to meet the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. You receive a signed NAPIT certificate, a schedule of any remedial work needed, and — if you instruct us to complete remedials — a clean EICR on completion.

We primarily serve Harrogate and the surrounding North Yorkshire area: Knaresborough, Ripon, Wetherby, Boroughbridge, Pateley Bridge, Skipton and Otley. We also cover Leeds, Northallerton and Thirsk. If you're outside this radius, call us — we'll let you know honestly whether we can help.

Yes. All workmanship carried out by Element Services is guaranteed. EV chargers and consumer units carry the manufacturer's warranty on top. If anything directly related to our work fails, we return and resolve it — no quibbles.

A dedicated home charger needs a safe route from your consumer unit to the parking space without a cable crossing a public pavement. If you have no off-street parking, local council on-street schemes or workplace charging may be a better route. We'll assess your property at the quote stage and tell you honestly what's possible.
