Good to know
Common questions
General guidance about electricians in the UK, not specific to any one business.
What is the difference between a fuse box and a circuit breaker board?
Fuse boxes contain rewireable fuses or cartridge fuses that must be replaced when blown. Circuit breaker boards have switches that trip when overloaded and can be reset. Breakers respond faster to faults and are safer.
Can I add more sockets by using extension leads permanently?
Extension leads are temporary solutions only. Permanent installation requires new circuits wired properly into the consumer unit to avoid overload, heat damage and fire risk. Proper sockets are cheaper and safer long-term.
What does PAT testing involve and why is it needed?
PAT tests portable appliances with electrical equipment to confirm they are electrically safe. Workplaces often need it for insurance and legal compliance. Testing checks for damage, faults and proper grounding.
Do I need planning permission to install an EV charger at home?
Most domestic EV charger installations do not require planning permission. However, listed buildings and conservation areas may have restrictions. An electrician can advise on local requirements before installation.
What makes an electrical installation safe and legal?
Work must follow Building Regulations and BS 7909. The installer must test circuits, install appropriate circuit protection, and issue certification. Correct cable size, safe earthing and proper isolation of circuits are essential.
