Good to know

Common questions

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

Do I need to turn the electrics off during installation work?

The circuit being worked on will be isolated from the consumer unit during installation. Other circuits remain live. Always inform occupants before work starts.

What happens if I have an old fuse box instead of a consumer unit?

Old fuse boxes using rewireable fuses are outdated. Modern consumer units with circuit breakers are safer and required by current building regulations for new work.

Can I fit sockets and switches myself?

Electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician and certified afterwards. Incorrect installation risks shock and fire. DIY electrical work in rental properties is prohibited.

How often should PAT testing be done?

Frequency depends on equipment type and usage. Schools and offices typically require annual testing. Domestic appliances are tested less frequently or when damaged.

What is earthing and why does it matter?

Earthing provides a safe path for electrical current in a fault. It protects users from electric shock. All circuits and metal components must be correctly earthed.

Can an electric vehicle charger be installed on any driveway?

Installation requires proper access to the consumer unit, suitable wall or ground fixing, and a dedicated circuit. Poor positioning wastes cable and increases cost.
