Electrician in Selby

Selby sits about 17 miles north of our base in Armthorpe, Doncaster, an easy run up the A19 and A63, so we cover the town and its surrounding YO8 villages as part of our regular patch. Our vans reach the historic core around Selby Abbey, the newer estates at Staynor Hall and the growing Olympia Park development on Barlby Road, and out to Brayton, Barlby, Thorpe Willoughby, Cawood, Hemingbrough and Wistow.

AMP Pro is led by owner-electrician Paul Carrick, and every job is carried out to the BS 7671 18th Edition wiring regulations. We are registered with both the NICEIC and NAPIT, so our notifiable work — consumer units, new circuits, rewires — is certified and self-notified to Building Control under Part P. You get the proper paperwork, not a verbal promise, and you deal directly with the electrician doing the work.

Selby's electricity network is run by Northern Powergrid, the distribution network operator for North and South Yorkshire. We handle their notification and connection requirements as a matter of routine — for example when fitting an EV charger, upgrading a supply or connecting solar and battery under G98/G99 — so anything on the supply side is something we guide you through rather than leaving you to chase.

We are a full-service domestic and commercial electrical contractor, and Selby's varied housing gives us the full range of work. In the conservation area around Selby Abbey, the Georgian and Victorian townhouses often run tired wiring and undersized boards that suit an EICR then a rewire or fuse board upgrade; the new-build homes at Staynor Hall and Olympia Park need proper load assessments before an EV charger goes on the drive; and rural farmhouses toward Cawood and Hemingbrough often need full rewires and outbuilding supplies. Most jobs fall under one of our core services:

• EICRs and electrical safety testing — periodic inspection reports for homeowners, landlords and businesses, with clear C1/C2/C3/FI coding.
• Full and partial rewires — for older townhouses and the inter-war and post-war semis where original wiring is past its safe life.
• Consumer unit (fuse board) upgrades — replacing old rewireable and plastic boards with modern RCBO/RCD-protected metal units.
• Fault finding and repairs — tripping circuits, dead sockets, flickering lights and burning smells traced methodically.
• EV charger installation — smart 7kW home and workplace chargers, with the Northern Powergrid notification handled for you.
• 24/7 emergency call-out — power loss, exposed live wiring and other make-safe emergencies, day or night.

We also install solar PV and battery storage, and handle landlord compliance across the YO8 area. Because the historic core near the Abbey is a conservation area under North Yorkshire Council (the unitary authority that replaced Selby District Council in 2023), external work near listed buildings may need a planning check — we flag your exact position at survey.

Selby has a genuine mix of ageing period housing near the Abbey and along the River Ouse and Selby Canal, plus fast-growing new-build estates on the edges of town — and both throw up electrical work a general handyman should not touch. The older townhouses often run tired wiring and small fuse boards never designed for modern showers, kitchens and electric vehicles, while the new Staynor Hall and Olympia Park homes need proper load assessments before a charger goes on the drive. We see these patterns regularly, so we know what to look for before we lift a floorboard.

For landlords — and Selby has a healthy private rental sector across the town and its commuter villages — we provide EICRs that meet the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, which require a satisfactory report every five years. We turn reports around promptly and quote any remedial work transparently.

What you get with AMP Pro: dual NICEIC and NAPIT registration, fully insured work, certificates issued for all notifiable jobs, honest written quotes with no surprise extras, and a genuinely local team covering the YO8 postcode and the surrounding villages — Brayton, Barlby, Thorpe Willoughby, Sherburn-in-Elmet, Snaith and Howden. We win our work on repeat business and referrals, not one-off directory listings.

Every Selby property is different, so we always quote after understanding the job — but here are honest 2026 guide ranges so you know roughly where you stand before you call:

• Domestic EICR: typically from £120-£250 depending on the number of circuits and property size.
• Consumer unit / fuse board upgrade: typically £450-£900 supplied and fitted, depending on board size and any remedial work.
• Full rewire (3-bed): typically £3,500-£6,500 depending on access, plastering and how much existing wiring can be reused.
• Emergency call-out: from £75-£150 for the first hour, then transparent rates.
• EV charger installation: typically £900-£1,400 supplied and fitted for a standard home install.

These are starting ranges, not fixed prices — your actual quote depends on access, condition and scope. We give you a clear written figure before any work begins, and there is no charge for the quote itself. See our detailed EICR cost and rewire cost guides for full breakdowns.
