Small jobs, one visit

Rental properties generate a steady stream of small electrical jobs. A tenant reports a dead socket. An inspection notes a cracked faceplate. The hallway light has stopped working. Individually they’re minor, but each one usually means finding someone willing to come out.

Hour Electric lets landlords and letting agents in York book a visit online, list every job, and have them worked through in one appointment.

Typical landlord jobs

  • tenant-reported faults such as dead sockets or tripping circuits
  • replacing damaged sockets, switches and fused spurs
  • minor remedial work following an inspection report
  • replacing failed light fittings and extractor fans
  • changing a faulty dimmer or bathroom pull cord
  • several small jobs during one visit between tenancies

Booking for a property you don’t live at

When booking, enter the rental property address and add access details in the notes: whether the tenant will be in, a key safe code, or who to ring on arrival. Confirmation goes to you as the person who booked.

What we don’t cover here

This service is for small repairs and installations. Electrical inspection reports and other landlord certification aren’t offered through hourly booking at this stage. If that changes, it will be listed clearly on this site.

Larger remedial work

If an inspection has flagged extensive work, such as a new consumer unit or new circuits, that’s better handled with a quotation. Book a visit if you’d like an electrician to look at the report findings first, and we’ll advise on the next step.

Questions about landlord bookings

Can landlords use Hour Electric?

Yes. Landlords and letting agents can book a visit for tenant-reported faults, accessory replacement and small maintenance lists at a rental property in York.

Can I give the electrician several jobs?

Yes. Add everything you’d like looked at when you book. Your electrician will work through the list in the order you set during your booked time.

What if the electrician needs longer?

If the work is taking longer than the booked time, your electrician will explain the options. That may mean adding extra time on the day where availability allows, or arranging a separate quotation for larger work. Nothing extra is carried out without your agreement.
