Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is a consumer unit and why might I need to upgrade?
A consumer unit (or fuse board) is the main control point for all circuits in a building. Old rewireable fuse boxes are inflexible and unsafe by modern standards. Upgrading provides better protection, safer operation, and allows additional circuits for modern appliances.
Can I add sockets to any wall?
Not all walls are suitable. Cavity walls need careful routing to avoid pipework and structural elements. Solid walls require chasing, which creates disruption. Wet rooms have strict regulations about socket locations. A surveyor can identify the best positions.
What kind of lighting is most cost-effective?
LED lighting uses around 80% less energy than incandescent bulbs and lasts much longer, reducing replacement costs. Downlights and spotlights give flexibility for different room uses. The overall cost depends on the number of fittings and complexity of installation.
Do I need planning permission for an EV charger?
Most domestic EV chargers do not require planning permission. However, listed buildings, conservation areas, or properties with specific restrictions may have conditions. It is worth checking with the local council before ordering a charger.
What does PAT testing cover and how often is it needed?
PAT testing checks portable appliances (kettles, computers, tools) for electrical safety. Businesses often test annually or more frequently depending on equipment type and use. Domestic testing is less common but useful before selling or renting a property.
