Common questions

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

When does an old fuse box need replacing with a consumer unit?

Modern consumer units with RCD protection are legally required in many situations. Old fuses offer poor protection against electrical faults and fire. Most insurers require modern units. Properties built before the 1990s often have outdated boards.

Can I install a new socket myself in my home?

New socket installation must be done by a qualified electrician to meet Building Regulations. DIY work can void insurance, fail property sales, and create serious fire or electric shock risks. All fixed wiring must meet current standards.

What is an RCD and why do I need one?

An RCD (Residual Current Device) detects dangerous earth faults and cuts power in milliseconds, preventing electrocution. Modern Building Regulations require RCDs on most circuits. They are essential safety devices in kitchens, bathrooms and outdoors.

How often should workplace appliances be PAT tested?

Test frequency depends on appliance type and environment. Portable tools in construction might need annual testing. Office equipment typically needs testing every two to three years. Guidance varies by insurance and workplace risk assessment.

What voltage and cable do EV chargers require?

Most home chargers run on 230V single-phase and need a dedicated 32A circuit. Some require 3-phase supply if available. Installation requires proper earthing and protective devices. Assessment of home electrical capacity is essential before installation.

Is rewiring expensive and how disruptive is it?

Rewiring costs and disruption depend on house size, construction type and scope. Full house rewiring involves chasing walls, lifting carpets and potentially replastering. Costs vary widely. Partial rewiring for specific areas is usually less intrusive and expensive.
