What we check on a property in Green Lane
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Green Lane, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
Consumer unit location and enclosure
Where the board sits, whether it is accessible, and whether it needs a non-combustible enclosure. Position matters for isolation in an emergency as much as for compliance.
Socket provision against actual use
We note how many sockets each room has and what is plugged into them. Banks of extension leads and adaptors are a design problem rather than a user problem, and the fix is usually more circuits.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Which part of Green Lane do you cover?
All of it — the streets around St Martin in the Fields 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.
How quickly can you get to Green Lane?
Quickly — it is about 2 miles south-west of the city centre. Short distances are the main reason we can offer same-week surveys and come back promptly if something needs a second look.
What about EV charger installation?
An EV charger is a dedicated circuit with specific earthing and protection requirements, and the supply capacity has to be assessed before anything is specified — an older property with a small main fuse may need the supply upgrading first. It is notifiable work. The assessment of the existing supply is the part that most often changes the answer, so it comes first.
Can you run power to a garage, shed or garden office?
Yes. It is a new circuit, so it is notifiable, and it needs armoured cable buried at the right depth or otherwise properly protected, correct earthing arrangements, and its own protective device. Garden offices usually need a small consumer unit at the far end. The cable route and the earthing arrangement are the two things that decide the cost, so we look at both at survey.
What is a consumer unit and why do older ones get replaced?
It is the board that distributes power and holds the protective devices. Older boards have rewireable fuses and no RCD protection, so there is nothing to disconnect quickly if someone touches a live part or a cable is damaged. A modern board adds RCD or RCBO protection per circuit, which is the single biggest safety improvement available on most older installations.
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.
