What we check on a property in Walsgrave
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Walsgrave, and why each one changes the recommendation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332How far is Walsgrave from your base?
Walsgrave is roughly 3.2 miles north-east 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.
Have you worked around Walsgrave Baptist Church?
Walsgrave Baptist Church is in the part of Walsgrave we cover, and electrical work there is routine for us. Every quote still starts with a survey of the actual property, because no two are the same even on one street.
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.
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.
Do I need an electrician to add a socket?
Adding a socket to an existing circuit is not notifiable in England, so legally you may do it yourself. Whether you should is another matter: it still has to comply with the wiring regulations, and the circuit has to be able to take it. What is notifiable is a new circuit, any work in a bathroom, and consumer unit replacement. Those must be notified to Building Control or carried out under a competent person scheme.
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.
