What we check on a property in Radford
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Radford, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Insulation resistance
Testing insulation resistance circuit by circuit shows up deteriorating cable and moisture ingress before they cause a fault. It is also what distinguishes a tired installation from a dangerous one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Existing certification
We ask what paperwork exists for previous work. Its presence or absence tells us how much of the installation has been tested before and what a new report needs to cover.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How far is Radford from your base?
Radford is roughly 1.5 miles north 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.
Which areas near Radford do you also cover?
The closest are Coundon (about 0.8 miles away), Bishopsgate Green (about 0.9 miles away), Edgwick (about 1 mile away) and Foleshill (about 1 mile away). All of them are inside our normal working area, so a property on the boundary is no different to one in the middle of Radford. If you are unsure which area you count as, the postcode settles it.
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.
How do you find an intermittent electrical fault?
By testing rather than guessing. Insulation resistance and continuity testing narrow it down to a circuit, then the circuit is split and tested in sections until the fault is isolated. Intermittent faults are the slowest because they hide when it is dry or cold, so we are upfront that fault finding is charged for the time it takes, and we tell you what we have ruled out as we go.
What are the most common electrical problems in older Coventry homes?
The pattern repeats: a board with no RCD protection, lighting circuits with no earth, sockets added over the years onto a circuit that was never designed for them, and a bathroom or kitchen altered without the work being notified. None of it is unusual and most of it is fixable without a full rewire — but it needs testing first to know which category a particular house is in.
Can you work on commercial premises and rental property?
Yes. We carry out EICRs and remedial work for landlords and letting agents, and inspection, testing and maintenance for commercial premises, working around trading hours where we need to. For portfolios we can schedule inspections so they do not all fall due in the same month.
