The Hidden Risks of Older Properties
Older properties offer timeless charm, but they often come with hidden risks - especially when it comes to outdated or deteriorating electrical systems. Worn or damaged wiring is one of the leading causes of electrical fires, making regular inspections essential for your safety and peace of mind.
When Was Your Last Inspection?
If your property hasn’t had an electrical inspection in over 10 years, it’s time to act. As energy demands increase, older systems may struggle to keep up, putting your home at risk.
What Do We Check During an Inspection?
Our thorough inspections cover:
- Wiring Condition: Identifying worn or damaged cables.
- Consumer Unit (Fuse Box): Ensuring safety devices like RCDs are in place.
- Sockets & Switches: Checking for wear, damage, or overloading.
- Circuits: Identifying overloaded circuits or outdated components.
- Lighting: Inspecting fixtures, especially in high-risk areas.
- Earthing & Bonding: Ensuring proper grounding for safety.
Don’t Take Risks Outdated systems can lead to costly emergencies or worse. Our professional inspections ensure your property is safe, efficient, and up to standard.
