How experienced are you?
Founder Shay Ward has been an electrician since leaving school at 16, with 26 years in the electrical trade. Current Contractors Ltd handles the electrical side and Current Contractors Renewables the solar side, so every installation is backed by genuine electrical expertise.
Do you charge for quotes or surveys?
No. Quotes and surveys are completely free and come with no obligation, whether it is electrical work, an EV charger or a full solar and battery system. For solar we also include a personalised savings estimate.
Who will carry out the work?
Our own team. We are a family-run business: Shay leads every project, supported by experienced electricians Luke, Jamie and Duncan, with Louise running the office and keeping you informed from enquiry to handover.
Do you handle both the electrical and solar sides?
Yes. Current Contractors Ltd covers electrical installations, rewires and testing, and Current Contractors Renewables covers solar PV, battery storage and EV charge points. It is the same family-run team either way, so one call covers whatever you need.
What happens after I enquire?
We arrange a free visit or survey at a time that suits you, usually within a few days, then send a clear written quote. If you go ahead, we book the work in: most electrical jobs are done in a day or two, and most solar installations take 1 to 3 days on site.
How much can I save on my energy bills?
Most households save £500 to £1,200 or more per year depending on system size, usage and energy prices. With a battery, savings are often higher as you store and use more of your own power. We provide a free, personalised savings estimate.
What does a typical installation cost?
A standard 4kW home system typically ranges from £5,500 to £8,500 supplied and fitted. Larger systems or those with battery storage cost more. We offer transparent quotes with no hidden fees.
Do I need planning permission?
Most domestic installations in East Riding of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire are permitted development and do not require planning permission. We check this as part of our free consultation.
How long does installation take?
Usually 1 to 3 days for a standard system. We handle everything from scaffolding to electrical connection and testing.
Is my roof suitable?
We assess roof orientation, pitch, shading and structural strength during the survey. South-facing roofs are ideal, but east and west facing roofs can still work well. We also install ground-mounted systems where needed.
What warranties and guarantees do you offer?
Panels typically come with 25-year performance warranties, inverters with 10 years or more, and every installation carries our full workmanship guarantee. We use high-quality, reputable products.
Do I need to maintain the system?
Very little. Panels are self-cleaning in most cases. We recommend an annual check as an optional service, plus inverter monitoring via an app so you can keep an eye on performance yourself.
Are there any government incentives or grants?
The main benefit is the Smart Export Guarantee, where you get paid for the electricity you export. We stay up to date on all available schemes and help you maximise your returns.

Mark Norris
I’ve used this electrician several times and have always been impressed with the service. They’re reliable, professional, and always arrive on time. The work is completed to a high standard, everything is explained clearly, and they leave the place clean and tidy afterwards. Fair pricing and great communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy electrician.
Jackie Porter
The electrian that came to do the first fix in our new craft room/garage did an absolute brilliant job, he will be back in a couple of weeks to do the second fix after the room being plastered. He left everything neat and tidy and was a very pleasant young man
Andrew Gordon
We used current contractors initially to fit a 16 amp socket for a new cooker. We were so impressed that we booked them to fit a large electric fire and move sockets and switches to accommodate it and also put power sockets and lights into a newly built garage. They were not only professional, tidy and affordable, they also offered advice and corrected poor previous electrical work to make it safe for free. I can’t recommend them highly enough 👍
Charlotte Wilson
Had this company to fit me a EV home charger, found them professional from quote to completion which was within 2 weeks and very reasonable in price, some other quotes I had were nearly double the price with a 2 month wait time for fitting. I also liked that they personally came to look at the job and do the quote most other companies expected me to take pictures and do a walk through video.
Louise Stocker
