Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is the difference between fuses and circuit breakers?
Fuses blow once and must be replaced; circuit breakers flip and reset. Breakers are safer and faster to restore power. Modern consumer units use breakers.
How often should PAT testing be done?
Frequency depends on equipment type and use. Portable heaters and kettles in offices typically need annual testing. Fixed appliances and low-risk items may test less often.
Can I add sockets and switches myself?
Any electrical work on fixed installations must comply with Building Regulations and be certified. Improper work creates fire and shock hazards.
What size cable is needed for an EV charger?
Cable size depends on charger type, distance from board and local supply. A 7kW charger typically needs 10mm cable; faster chargers need larger.
Why do lights flicker in old houses?
Flickering often means loose connections, overloaded circuits, or old worn wiring. Rewiring and upgrading the board usually solves the problem.
Is rewiring disruptive?
Full rewiring requires chasing walls, lifting floorboards and making holes for new cable. This creates dust and disruption. Modern methods minimise damage where possible.
