What we check on a property in Westwood Heath
Every quote starts with a survey. These are the things we look at on electrical work in Westwood Heath, and why each one changes the recommendation.
Cable routes and depth in walls
Cables should run in permitted zones or be mechanically protected. Cables run diagonally across a wall are a real hazard to anyone later fixing a shelf, and they are not visible without testing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Speak to us today0786 5778332Have you worked around Greek orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration?
Greek orthodox Church of the Holy Transfiguration is in the part of Westwood Heath 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.
Is Westwood Heath inside your normal service area?
Yes, and so is everything immediately around it: Canley (about 0.8 miles away), Tile Hill (about 1.2 miles away), Mount Nod (about 1.9 miles away) and Eastern Green (about 2.1 miles away). We cover the whole of Coventry, so there is no travel charge for any of them and no minimum job value.
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.
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.
Do I need a full rewire, or will a partial one do?
A partial rewire is sensible where part of the installation is sound and part is not — commonly where lighting has been updated but the ring final circuits have not, or where an extension was wired recently. It is a false economy where the existing cable is at the end of its life, because the old section will fail next and you pay twice for making good. Testing is what tells the two apart.
Is it worth changing to LED lighting?
Generally yes, for the running cost and the lamp life. Two practical cautions: dimmers made for filament lamps often will not dim LEDs smoothly and may need replacing, and very cheap LED fittings with integrated lamps cannot be re-lamped, so the whole fitting is scrap when the LED fails. Choosing fittings that take a replaceable lamp is usually the better long-term buy.
