The team

Eleven electricians, two vans each, and one office in Kirkstall that answers the phone.

How we began

Ravi Shah and Tom Bell met as apprentices on a hospital site in 2009. Three years later they bought one van between them and called it Gridline.

The first year they rewired eleven houses, mostly for friends of friends.

How we work now

Every job is done by our own electricians, never subcontracted. Every one is tested and certified before we leave.

The office keeps a record of every board we have touched, so a call years later starts with the drawings, not a guess.
