Tees Valley · the wider Tees Valley conurbation
Electricians, solar and EV charging in Teesside

What we do in Teesside
Six services, one NICEIC approved team
The Teesside housing stock is unusually varied: dense Victorian terraces in central Middlesbrough and Stockton, extensive post-war estates in Hartlepool and Redcar, large modern detached homes across Ingleby Barwick, Yarm, Eaglescliffe, Nunthorpe and Marton, and a swathe of rural East Cleveland villages where an solar and battery systems is the only realistic route to decarbonising the heating.

Why Teesside matters for electrical and renewable
Teesside is the most polarised market we install across. Northern Powergrid is the DNO for every postcode from TS1 to TS29 and DL1 to DL3, so we use a single pre-approved G99/G98 process across the entire region.

Paying next to nothing for electricity now
“Had solar panels and a battery fitted in February. By summer we were barely using any grid electricity at all. The monitoring app is great — you can see exactly what the panels are generating and where the energy is going.”
DDavid R.
Sunderland
Smooth install, paperwork done properly
“North 85 surveyed the roof carefully (some installers had quoted me without measuring) and the layout they came back with put 12 panels where I expected 10. Net export to Octopus Outgoing is paying back faster than I had budgeted for.”
AAndrew F.
Newcastle upon Tyne
Great communication start to finish
“From the quote through to the final commissioning, the North 85 team kept me in the loop. Scaffold up Monday, install Tuesday-Wednesday, commissioned Thursday. Even helped me register for the SEG tariff. Highly recommend.”
