Professional Electricians Serving Pontefract
Electrician Pontefract | Professional Electrical Services
Pontefract has more old building stock than almost anywhere else we work — Georgian frontages around the market square, Victorian villas in Tanshelf, and streets inside the conservation area near the castle where a rewire has to be planned around cornicing, lath-and-plaster and original floorboards rather than simply chased into a wall. That is the work we are known for locally, and it sits alongside the everyday: fuse board changes in Chequerfield, landlord EICRs across Featherstone, chargepoints on the newer Carleton estates. NAPIT registered, fixed written prices, and a survey before any rewire quote.
Why Knox Power & Data
Why choose us
Pontefract is one of our favourite areas to work — a great mix of period homes around the town centre and Tanshelf, family streets through Carleton and Chequerfield, and the surrounding villages of Knottingley, Featherstone, Ackworth and Darrington. The older properties around the castle and the racecourse often need careful, sensitive electrical work; the newer estates near the M62 / A1 are usually about EV chargers, additional sockets and CCTV.
We cover the full Pontefract area: Pontefract town centre (WF8), Tanshelf, Carleton, Chequerfield, Knottingley (WF11), Featherstone (WF7), Ackworth, Darrington, Pontefract Monkhill, plus out toward East Hardwick and Wragby.

Sympathetic Work on Period & Conservation-Area Property
Pontefract has a lot of beautiful older property — particularly around Micklegate, the market square, Tanshelf and the conservation area near the castle. We rewire and upgrade carefully, hiding cables behind cornicing, lifting and re-laying floorboards properly, and matching the existing finish where we can. We always quote a rewire after a free survey — there's no honest way to ballpark a period-property job without seeing it first.
EV Chargers, CCTV & Smart Tech
The newer estates around Carleton, Chequerfield, Monkhill and Knottingley are seeing a lot of EV adoption, and older Pontefract property is catching up now that grants have widened. Charger choice depends on the house: on a listed or conservation-area frontage we usually steer people toward the tidier Andersen or Ohme units, Zappi earns its place where there is solar on the roof, and Hypervolt or Easee cover most standard driveway installs. All fitted by an OZEV-approved EV charger installer. Property security is also a big request — we install full HD and 4K CCTV systems for homes and the high-street businesses around Salter Row, Beastfair and the Cornmarket.
Business & Network Infrastructure
For Pontefract businesses needing reliable connectivity, our data cabling team installs structured Cat6/Cat6A networks, comms cabinets and WiFi access points. We've worked with offices on the high street, retail premises in the town centre, and industrial units along the A1 corridor toward Darrington.
Landlord & Letting-Agent Compliance
Pontefract has a sizeable rental market and we work with several local letting agents on landlord EICRs and the remedial work that follows them. We can do the inspection, any C1/C2 remedial work and re-test under one roof, with same-day digital certificates. We also work alongside our electrician services in Wakefield on portfolio jobs across the district.
