What we check on a property in Earlsdon
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Earlsdon, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
Cable type and age
We look at the cable at the board and at accessible points. Rubber, lead or fabric sheathing changes the recommendation entirely, because that cable cannot safely be disturbed or extended.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Earlsdon is roughly 0.9 miles west of Coventry city centre. That is close enough that a survey can normally be arranged within a few days, and close enough that coming back afterwards is never a problem.
What else is near Earlsdon that you cover?
Earlsdon sits next to Spon End (about 0.3 miles away), Cheylesmore (about 1.3 miles away), Coundon (about 1.3 miles away) and Bishopsgate Green (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.
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.
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.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Age and evidence, not guesswork. Rubber, lead or fabric-sheathed cable, a fuse board with rewireable fuses, round-pin sockets, no earthing to lighting circuits and a sparse number of sockets all point to an installation from an era with different expectations. The honest way to find out is an EICR: it tests the installation and tells you whether it needs rewiring or whether targeted work will do.
