Hartlepool is the far end of our patch, about half an hour up the A19. It is worth the drive. The older streets on the Headland and around Church Street have some of the oldest wiring we see, while Seaton Carew, Owton Manor and Hart are a mix of ages.
Sea air is hard on outside fittings, so outdoor sockets, garden supplies and security lights come up more here than anywhere else on the patch. We fit them properly protected so they last. Everything is tested and certified before we leave.
We are based in Norton, Stockton. Hartlepool is the far end of our patch, up the A19.
Hartlepool homes and their wiring
About 88,000 people live in Hartlepool. It grew from two towns. Old Hartlepool on the Headland goes back to an abbey in the 600s. West Hartlepool was founded in 1835. The two joined in 1967.
Seaton Carew has rows of stucco houses on the seafront and around The Green. It became a conservation area in 1969. The town has 8 conservation areas in all, including the Headland, Church Street, Grange, Park and Stranton.
Owton Manor was built as a council estate in the 1960s. Its streets are grouped in lettered blocks named after Scottish towns. Throston takes in Dyke House, West View and High Throston.
Old houses in the conservation areas need cable routes planned with care. Homes from the 1960s may still have wiring and boards from that time. We test first, then tell you plainly what needs doing.
