WHAT MAKES A GOOD ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION?
An electrical installation comprises all the fixed electrical equipment that is supplied through the electricity meter. It includes the cables that are usually hidden in the walls and ceilings, accessories (such as sockets, switches and light fittings), and the consumer unit (fusebox) that contains all the fuses, circuit-breakers and, preferably residual current devices (RCDs)*.
There are many factors that contribute to a good electrical installation such as:
-
Ensuring there are enough sockets for electrical appliances, to minimise the use of multiway socket adapters and trailing leads
-
Covers are in place to prevent fingers coming into contact with live parts (broken or damaged switches should be replaced without delay)
-
A Residual Current Device (RCD) protection is installed to provide additional protection against electric shock
-
Satisfactory earthing arrangements are in place to ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker can quickly clear an electrical fault before it causes an electric shock or fire
-
Satisfactory protective bonding arrangements are in place where required (so any electric shock risk is minimised until a fault is cleared)
-
Sufficient circuits are provided to avoid danger and minimise inconvenience in the event of a fault
-
Cables are correctly selected and installed in relation to the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the circuit
*An RCD (residual current device) is a life-saving device which is designed to prevent you from getting a fatal electric shock if you touch something live, such as a bare wire. It provides a level of protection that ordinary fuses or circuit breakers cannot provide.

Fusebox MOT
An old fusebox is inevitably accompanied by old wiring, neither of which are ideal for the needs of modern living. With an ever-increasing number of appliances and electronic devices in the home, the strain on an older system makes it much less safe than a modern fusebox.
A quick fix is to install a new fusebox, which will be much more sensitive than an older model, tripping out in a fraction of a second and fast enough to prevent electrocution, shutting down a circuit before anything serious happens. Get in touch if you think your home electrics need some attention.
Fault Finding
Our electricians can carry out test inspections, diagnosis and fault finding on electrical systems and are fully qualified, complying with all the latest requirements and regulations to ensure that your work is done to the highest standard. Using the latest equipment to trace faults enables our electricians to repair faults quickly.
Once the engineer has carried out the inspection they will provide a report detailing any faults and recommendations for remedial works, they can also provide an electrical inspection report for landlords.
Installations
Our registered electricians can install, extend and adapt all parts of your electrical systems, including circuit breakers, circuit boards, earthing ports, bonding within consumer units, fuse boards, structured cabling and transformers. We carry out installations and replacements of new light fittings and switches, and are able to design and install new lighting systems in both domestic and commercial premises.
Once one of our electricians has completed works, they will issue you with an electrical installations certificate to confirm the work complies with the wiring requirements of British Standard BS 7671.
