Good to know

Common questions

General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.

What causes a circuit breaker to trip repeatedly?

Overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, water damage, or short circuits commonly cause tripping. Modern RCDs (residual current devices) trip quickly for safety. Frequent trips indicate a fault needing investigation.

Can I extend an electrical circuit myself?

No. Only a qualified electrician may design, install and certify new circuits. DIY electrical work is unsafe and may void building insurance or fail property inspections.

How much capacity does a typical home electrics need?

Most homes have 100 amps as standard. Modern properties with multiple appliances, heating and EV charging may need 200 amps. A surveyor can assess your actual requirements.

What safety checks happen after rewiring?

Electricians test insulation resistance, earth continuity, and circuit breaker operation. They certify work with an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report). This proves the installation meets legal standards.

Are all light switches the same voltage?

Domestic UK switches are standard 230V single-phase. Commercial and industrial settings may use three-phase or lower voltage systems. Always match switch types to circuit voltage.
