Electrical services in Sarisbury

Sarisbury and Sarisbury Green are the same place as far as this page is concerned, and both are covered. Most jobs are everyday ones. Finding out why a circuit trips or a room has lost power. Replacing sockets, switches and light fittings, and fitting fans and outside lights. Adding circuits for a cooker, shower or car charger. And inspection and testing for owners, buyers and landlords. Consumer unit replacement is a regular one here, as is rewiring where a house has never had it done.

Living with a fuse box until it is replaced

Some houses near the green still have their original fuse box. That is not an emergency in itself, but a blown fuse has to be rewired at the right rating for the circuit — never thicker wire or twisted strands. A board of that age has no RCD, which matters most outdoors, so a plug-in RCD adaptor is a sensible stop-gap until it is replaced.

Building work, garages and garden rooms

If you’re extending, converting the loft or fitting out a garage, settle the wiring early. The circuits go in before the plasterboard goes on, the sockets and switches go where you actually want them, and I check the board for room and protection. Planning it at that stage is what stops the work being undone later. A workshop or garden office at the end of the garden needs a protected supply of its own, sized for the run.

Where an older house is being worked on anyway, it is often the right moment to ask whether part of it is due for rewiring while access is easy, rather than lifting the same floors twice.

Not sure where to start?

Ring and describe what’s happening. If you don’t know which you need, say so. Repair, upgrade or something bigger: after 15 years I can explain each one and what it would cost soon enough. Free quote, and the decision stays yours. Let’s have a chat.

Questions

Sarisbury questions

Why does a quote for a new board include surge protection?

Current wiring regulations call for surge protection on most new installations, so it is normally part of a replacement rather than an optional extra. It helps protect the installation and what is plugged into it from voltage spikes.

A fuse keeps blowing. Can I just put in thicker wire?

No. The fuse wire is the safety device; thicker wire lets a fault overheat the cable instead. A fuse that keeps going is telling you something is wrong on that circuit, and it needs tracing.
