Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What's the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?
Fuse boxes use replaceable wire fuses that blow when circuits overload. Consumer units use automatic circuit breakers that trip and reset. Breakers are safer and more reliable for modern electrical demands.
Can you install a socket anywhere on a wall?
Sockets can be installed most places, but cable runs must avoid water pipes and gas pipes. Outdoor sockets need weatherproof boxes. Bathrooms have strict zones where sockets cannot be placed for safety.
Why does my electrics trip out regularly?
Frequent tripping indicates overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, or damp affecting wiring. Intermittent tripping can suggest a developing fault. All cases warrant inspection to find and fix the underlying cause.
What do I need to know about EV charger installation at home?
Most homes need a dedicated 32-amp circuit installed from the consumer unit. A survey checks if the main supply can handle it. Installation includes weatherproof wiring and mounting hardware, typically in a driveway or garage.
When is PAT testing required?
Workplaces are expected to maintain safe electrical equipment through regular testing. Rental properties need periodic PAT testing on portable appliances. Test frequency depends on equipment type and usage; results should be documented and labelled.
