Coach light additions to large house
A large house required outside lighting upgrades. The front light above the main door need to be replaced and a movement sensor to be added. The rear required the addition of a coach light above the door. The problem was that no work could take place in the kitchen as recent renovations could not be disturbed. So a fused spur upstairs from an office allowed the power to the new light from the upstairs socket circuit..

On My Travels - Crocheted muppet on a post box
Travelling around the area, as I do, its always interesting to see what presents we find.
The efforts some people go to completely unrewarded to bring a smile to ours faces never ceases to amaze me.
So thank you - whoever you are - and long may it continue - so here is you're moment of fame, albeit anonymous!?

Electric Fails - Lighting
A simple job to test the lighting circuit as part of an EICR turned up this gem.
Gap filling taken to an extreme with the foam completely filling the light switch but nothing having changedexternally.
A short time after the EICR was finished the foam was chopped out circuit tested fully soon after.

Electrical Fails - Melting plugs
Melting plugs and sheaths on wires happen more often than you might realise.
Poorly terminated wires explain some of them but more often it is due to DIY installations combined with excessive loads being used on the socket.
The first melted plug was connected via a long extension to an outbuiding where the small Consumer unit pitcured was wired directly to it. Multiple freezers were running from it. This really was a fire waiting to happen.
The outdoor socket in the third image shows the sheath melting from the temperatures being reached in the copper cable. The sockets were being used to power extension leads running various outdoor heaters. Again luck was all that had prevented a fire.
Look at the socket calculator here to check whether you're over stressing your cabling and sockets.

Take Care When Selecting an Electrician!!
Many other electricians in the area are simply not interested in small electrical works. They want the choice jobs and will drop you like a hot potato when a bigger project comes along.
Others advertise for work as electricians despite having no qualifications. They thrive on the basis that you don't understand what they do and, as a result, overcharge for shoddy, often dangerous, work.
This of course is not limited to Tamworth, the same happens in other areas such as Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and elsewhere in the surrounding area.
I set up Tamworth Electricians to fill a gap in the domestic sector. I want to provide you with a quality service that provides you with exactly what you need from an electrician.
