Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.

What is a fuse board upgrade and why might I need one?

Older fuse boards use rewirable fuses that can fail repeatedly. Modern circuit breakers in a new consumer unit provide better protection, more circuits for appliances, and are safer. Upgrading is often needed before adding extensions or in older homes.

Can I add new sockets anywhere I want?

New sockets can be added in most locations but circuits have load limits. Sockets in wet areas like bathrooms need special protection. Running cable through walls may require notifiable work depending on location and building regulations.

What should I ask about when installing an EV charger?

Check that the property's electrical supply has enough capacity, the charger location is weatherproof and accessible, and the installation includes a dedicated circuit. The distance from board to charger affects cable size and cost.

Who needs PAT testing and how often?

Businesses, landlords, and venues commonly need PAT testing for insurance and safety compliance. Testing frequency depends on equipment type and use; heavily used items need testing more often than rarely used ones.

What happens during an electrical safety check?

An electrician visually inspects the condition of wiring, sockets, and the fuseboard, then uses testing equipment to measure earth bonding, insulation resistance, and protective device operation. Results show whether the installation is safe.
