What we check on a property in Coundon
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Coundon, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
Accessory condition
Scorching, cracked faceplates, loose sockets and discoloured terminals point at loose connections, which generate heat. We look behind a sample of accessories rather than judging from the front.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which part of Coundon do you cover?
All of it — the streets around Christ The King RC Infant School included. Where a property sits matters less to us than what the access is like, which is something we look at on the survey rather than guessing from an address.
Are you actually local to Coundon?
Yes. Coundon is around 1.4 miles north-west of the centre of Coventry, well within the area we work in every week. We are not a national firm subcontracting the job out.
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 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.
What are the rules about electrics in a bathroom?
Bathrooms are divided into zones based on distance from the bath or shower, and each zone limits what can be installed and to what IP rating. Supplementary bonding may be required depending on the installation. Electrical work in a bathroom is notifiable. In practice this is why a bathroom fan, shaver point or downlight is not a casual job even though it looks like one.
Why do my downlights keep failing?
Most often heat and insulation. Fittings covered by loft insulation without the right rating overheat and fail early, and so do transformers tucked into unventilated voids. Fire-rated fittings designed to be covered solve the insulation problem. Repeated failures in one position usually mean a heat or connection problem at that point rather than a run of bad lamps.
