Examples of previous work I have carried out.
Rewire and new consumer unit in Holiday rental.
​
Asked by the owners to carry out an EICR, we found that the cable insulation had deteriorated and was oozing "green goo" and the consumer unit was incorrectly fitted.
The opportunity was grasped to install lots of new socket outlets in all the rooms, a new ring final and new lighting circuit installed along with a new SPD protected RCBO consumer unit.
All new bonding to gas and water pipes and this job is fully compliant with the current regulations, and will be fit to use for the next 30 years and more.

Partial re-wire and new consumer unit in Old Victorian house
This old house had had nothing done to it for at least 40 years, and was in desperate need of having the electrics brought up to date, with modern levels of protection.
As is common in older houses, there was no earth in the lighting circuits, so a partial rewire of the lighting circuits was carried out, lots of bodge additions to the ring mains were dealt with, and a new consumer unit with a SPD and RCBO's was fitted.

People often wonder why they should go to all the bother and expense of having their wiring checked over, and hopefully these pictures will tell you why you should.

-
A broken socket front exposing the live metal terminals in reach from a child's bed,
-
an electric shower with no earthing to it,
-
another shower held together with duct tape,
-
loose terminals,
-
Wires dropped out of switch and socket faceplates,
-
overheating cables,
-
no bonding onto the gas or water pipes,
-
Old VIR cable with insulation dropping off.
There is no legal obligation to have an inspection carried out in your own home, but I would recommend one if you have moved into a house, just so you know what is lurking in the wiring system.
