What we check on a property in Ball Hill
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Ball Hill, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Smoke and heat alarm provision
We note what alarms are fitted, whether they are interlinked and how they are powered. Requirements differ for rented property, and it is a cheap thing to put right while other work is happening.
Cable routes and depth in walls
Cables should run in permitted zones or be mechanically protected. Cables run diagonally across a wall are a real hazard to anyone later fixing a shelf, and they are not visible without testing.
What is urgent versus what is dated
Part of any inspection is separating the two. An installation can be old-fashioned without being dangerous, and we would rather say so than imply that everything of a certain age must be replaced.
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.
Main supply capacity
We check the main fuse rating and the supply arrangement. It determines whether an EV charger, electric shower or heat pump can be added without the supply being upgraded first.
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.

Villiers Street Christian Spiritualist Church is in the part of Ball Hill we cover, and electrical work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
Which areas near Ball Hill do you also cover?
The closest are Lower Stoke (about 0.7 miles away), Stoke Heath (about 0.7 miles away), Hillfields (about 0.7 miles away) and Stoke Aldermoor (about 1 mile away). All of them are inside our normal working area, so a property on the boundary is no different to one in the middle of Ball Hill. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
Do I need an electrician to add a socket?
Adding a socket to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, so legally you may do it yourself. Whether you should is another matter: it still has to comply with the wiring regulations, and the circuit has to be able to take it. What is notifiable is a new circuit, any work in a bathroom, and consumer unit replacement. Those must be notified to Building Control or carried out under a competent person scheme.
I am a landlord with an unsatisfactory EICR. How long do I have?
Twenty-eight days from the report, or sooner if the report specifies a shorter period, and you have to give written confirmation of the remedial work to the tenants and to the local authority if they ask for it. C1 items should be made safe on the day they are found rather than held over. Keep the report and the completion evidence together; both are asked for.
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.
My RCD keeps tripping. What causes that?
Usually a genuine earth leakage somewhere, not a faulty RCD. Common sources are a failing appliance element, water in an outdoor socket or light, a damaged cable, or simply the accumulated small leakage of many appliances on one RCD tipping it over the threshold. The way to find it is systematic testing circuit by circuit, which is quicker and cheaper than replacing appliances by trial and error.
