What we check on a property in Binley
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Binley, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Fan and extract provision
Bathroom and kitchen extract is an electrical job with a ventilation purpose. We check it exists, actually runs and discharges outside rather than into a loft.
Evidence of previous DIY work
Junction boxes buried in walls, connectors in lofts, mismatched cable and undocumented spurs all tell us the installation has been altered without records, which changes how much testing the job needs.
Loft and underfloor cabling
We check for cable buried under insulation, which derates it, and for cables resting on ceiling joists where they can be stood on. Both are common and both are straightforward to put right.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around St Bartholemew's?
St Bartholemew's is in the part of Binley 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.
Are you actually local to Binley?
Yes. Binley is around 2.8 miles east of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
Are smart home systems worth installing?
They can be, with one caution worth stating: the lighting and heating should still work conventionally if the hub, the app or the internet is unavailable. Systems that depend entirely on a manufacturer's cloud service leave you with no switch when that service changes or ends. We are happy to install smart controls, and we recommend keeping a conventional fallback.
What do the C1, C2 and C3 codes on an EICR mean?
C1 is danger present — a risk of injury now, which needs making safe immediately. C2 is potentially dangerous, meaning it could become a risk and must be put right. C3 is improvement recommended: it is not dangerous and does not fail the report. An EICR is unsatisfactory if it carries any C1 or C2, or an FI meaning further investigation is required. A report that is entirely C3s is a pass.
What is an EICR and who needs one?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection and test of a fixed installation, recording its condition against the current wiring regulations. In England, private rented homes must have one at least every five years and at the start of a new tenancy. Owner-occupiers are not obliged to have one, but it is the standard check before buying, and the usual recommendation is roughly every ten years for an owner-occupied house.
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.
