What we cover around Park Hill Primary School and the rest of Allesley Green, from fault finding to periodic inspection.

What we check on a property in Allesley Green
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Allesley Green, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Earthing and bonding
We check the main earthing conductor, the earthing arrangement at the supply, and main bonding to gas and water. Missing or undersized bonding is common in older property and is a genuine safety matter.
The consumer unit and what protects what
We record the board type, the protective devices and which circuits they cover. Whether there is RCD protection, and on what, is the single biggest factor in how safe an older installation is.
Existing certification
We ask what paperwork exists for previous work. Its presence or absence tells us how much of the installation has been tested before and what a new report needs to cover.
Lighting circuit earthing
Many older lighting circuits have no circuit protective conductor. That rules out metal fittings and switches until it is addressed, and it is one of the most frequent findings on an older property.
Accessibility for the people living there
Switch and socket heights, and whether isolation points can actually be reached. Worth considering whenever an installation is being altered anyway.
Outdoor and outbuilding circuits
We check supplies to garages, sheds and garden lighting for correct protection, suitable cable and weatherproof accessories. Water in an outdoor socket is a classic cause of nuisance tripping.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near Park Hill Primary School?
Yes. Park Hill Primary School is one of the landmarks we use to describe where we work in Allesley Green, and we take on electrical jobs throughout the surrounding streets. Access and parking get checked at survey, so the quote fits the property.
What else is near Allesley Green that you cover?
Allesley Green sits next to Allesley (about 0.5 miles away), Mount Nod (about 0.6 miles away), Eastern Green (about 0.7 miles away) and Bannerbrook Park (about 1.3 miles away). We work across the whole of that cluster, which is part of why we can usually get to a survey quickly — we are often already nearby.
What is the problem with old aluminium or rubber cable?
Rubber-insulated cable, common before the 1960s, goes brittle with age and crumbles when disturbed, exposing conductors — which is why an old installation can test acceptably and then fail the moment someone works on it. It is one of the clearest indicators that an installation needs replacing rather than extending, and we will say so rather than add circuits to it.
Do you provide certificates, and why do they matter?
Yes. Minor works get a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate; new circuits and larger jobs get an Electrical Installation Certificate; inspections get an EICR. They matter because they are the evidence the work was tested, and because conveyancing solicitors and insurers ask for them. Work with no certificate is work nobody can verify, and it reappears as a problem at sale.
Is it worth changing to LED lighting?
Generally yes, for the running cost and the lamp life. Two practical cautions: dimmers made for filament lamps often will not dim LEDs smoothly and may need replacing, and very cheap LED fittings with integrated lamps cannot be re-lamped, so the whole fitting is scrap when the LED fails. Choosing fittings that take a replaceable lamp is usually the better long-term buy.
What about EV charger installation?
An EV charger is a dedicated circuit with specific earthing and protection requirements, and the supply capacity has to be assessed before anything is specified — an older property with a small main fuse may need the supply upgrading first. It is notifiable work. The assessment of the existing supply is the part that most often changes the answer, so it comes first.
