About North 85
North 85 Ltd is an electrical contractor based on the Glover Industrial Estate in Washington. The business was set up by Nate Sheridan, whose family has worked in the electrical trade since 1985, and its website says it uses its own NICEIC approved electricians rather than subcontracting. The site also displays Part P, ISO and SAFEcontractor badges.
Its domestic work covers full and partial rewires, consumer unit upgrades, extra sockets and lighting, and electrical installation condition reports (EICRs) for landlords and home buyers. It also installs solar PV, home battery storage and electric vehicle chargers for homes and workplaces, and on the commercial side handles LED lighting upgrades, emergency lighting and fire alarm systems. The firm states that its work carries a 10-year guarantee. It is a sensible contact for Washington and Sunderland households combining a rewire with solar or an EV charger, and for small businesses that need emergency lighting tested.
