Lighting fittings and repairs
Professionally designed and installed lighting makes a real difference in any environment to create mood and ambience. LED lighting is becoming the preferred light source due to its energy efficiency and durability. Available as wall lights, spotlights, ceiling lights and under cupboard lights, and is electronically controlled by any device, it makes an attractive proposition. LED lighting can be used in outdoor settings such as a garden where colour change floodlights highlight features or create an atmosphere for a social event.
Fuse boards and sockets
A fuse box (or consumer unit) is what delivers electricity around your property. They contain three components: fuses (or circuit breakers), main switch and Residual Current Devices (RCDs). They may also contain circuit breakers. It is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the main switch as this is what turns off the electricity in an emergency.
Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are a safety feature that instantly disconnects a circuit from the electricity supply when a fault occurs. Circuit breakers work in a similar way, automatically switching off a circuit if a fault is detected. These are a common feature on modern fuse boards but older boards will contain re-wireable fuses.
Sockets perform a vital function but it’s very easy to overload a socket by plugging in too many appliances and increase the risk of a fire as a result.
As a Which? Trusted Trader we often see this with domestic electrical installations. In many cases, it is due to overloading but in some situations, the wrong appliance is plugged into a socket or extension lead, exceeding the maximum current rating.
There are a few simple tips such as always use a 4-way extension lead rather than the block-shaped adaptor and check the current rating before you plug appliances in. Check the condition of your sockets and appliances and if they look damaged or faulty do not proceed … staying safe is down to common sense.
What is notifiable electrical work?
There is no room for error in electrical work and getting it right first time is paramount to personal safety. High standards are so important to domestic properties that all notifiable work must comply with Part P Building Regulations. Work carried out by a DIY enthusiast, builder or uncertified electrician will not be compliant as they do not have the professional qualifications to legally sign the work off and provide the relevant certification and this could effect your house insurance and most of all the safety of your self and your family.
