What we check on a property in Cheylesmore
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Cheylesmore, 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.
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.
Circuit identification and labelling
We check the board is accurately labelled and record what each way actually feeds. An unlabelled or wrongly labelled board is a safety issue the moment anyone needs to isolate something quickly.
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.
Bathroom and kitchen compliance
Zones, IP ratings and supplementary bonding in bathrooms, and the condition of accessories near sinks and hobs. These are the areas where past unnotified work most often shows up.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Do you work on properties near Asda?

What else is near Cheylesmore that you cover?
Cheylesmore sits next to Lower Stoke (about 0.7 miles away), Stivichall (about 0.8 miles away), Finham (about 1.2 miles away) and Stoke Aldermoor (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.
How disruptive is a rewire?
More than most people expect. Cables are chased into walls and run under floors, so floorboards come up, walls are cut and the property needs making good and redecorating afterwards. It is far easier in an empty property, which is why a rewire is best done before moving in or alongside other renovation work rather than as a standalone job in an occupied house.
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.
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.
