Good to know

Common questions

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

What is PAT testing and why does a workplace need it?

PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) is the electrical safety inspection and testing of moveable electrical equipment like kettles, computers and tools. Employers have a legal duty to ensure workplace equipment is safe. Regular PAT testing identifies faults before they cause injury or fire.

How do I know if my house electrics need updating?

Signs include an old fuse box, frequent blown fuses or tripped switches, discoloured or cracked socket plates, scorch marks around outlets, flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or warm switches. A property survey may also recommend upgrading if wiring is outdated.

What should I do if a socket keeps tripping the electrics?

Disconnect everything from that socket and switch off the circuit breaker. Do not use it again until it has been inspected. The socket itself may be faulty, or an appliance connected to it may be damaged. A fault in either needs professional inspection and repair.

Can you install an EV charger on any driveway?

Not always. The distance from your consumer unit to the parking point, the power capacity of your property, the driveway surface, and weather protection all affect the installation. A site survey is needed to confirm feasibility and determine the right charger type.

How long does a full house rewire take?

This depends on the property size, age, layout and access. A small terraced house may take two to four weeks; a large period property or Victorian building may take six weeks or longer. The electrician can give a more accurate timeframe after the initial survey.

What's the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?

A fuse box uses rewireable fuses that melt to cut power during overload. A consumer unit uses modern circuit breakers that switch off automatically and can be reset. Consumer units are safer, more reliable and meet current building regulations. Older fuse boxes should be replaced.
