Good to know

Common questions

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

What's the difference between a fuse box and a consumer unit?

Fuse boxes use rewireable wire fuses that melt when overloaded. Consumer units use circuit breakers that trip and can reset. Modern units are safer and allow easier fault identification. Most properties need upgrading from old fuse boxes.

Can I install my own sockets and switches?

Electrical installation must follow Building Regulations and wiring standards. DIY work risks fire, electric shock and invalidates insurance. All work should be carried out and certified by a qualified electrician to ensure safety compliance.

What does PAT testing involve?

Portable appliance testing checks that workplace equipment is electrically safe. Inspectors examine plugs, cables and casings visually, then use testing equipment to measure earth resistance and insulation. Equipment is labelled with test dates and results.

How long does rewiring a house typically take?

Duration depends on property size and condition. Smaller properties may take 2–3 weeks; larger homes several months. Work involves survey, cable installation, testing and certification. Disruption varies with surface or cavity wall routing chosen.

Do I need planning permission for an EV charger?

Most home chargers don't need planning permission if on your own property. Building Regulations approval is required for safe installation. Listed buildings or conservation areas may have restrictions. A surveyor will clarify requirements for your specific location.
