DIY FIXES

All of these examples had breached electrical regulations before we fixed them. Prior to us stepping in, they were fire and electrical shock risks, proving the importance of getting the job done right by a qualified electrical contractor.

  • Electrics were tripping due to exposed copper wires touching terminal screws

  • RCD (designed to prevent you from getting an electric shock) also cutting out

  • Half of electric circuit failing, too

We rectified this by:

  • re-sleeving the neutral cable

  • bending wires not to be in contact with terminal screws

  • Earth wire was cut in both cables of a lighting circuit

  • Risk of fire, since the MCB (breaker) wouldn’t activate

  • Risk of electric shock as there was no junction box to cover the live terminal screw (in the plastic box)

We rectified this by:

  • stripping the existing cables

  • reconnecting earth cables

  • installing a new junction box

  • Earth wires were cut in cables entering a light

  • Live copper wires could touch the metal light, causing an electric shock

  • Risk of fire as the MCB (breaker) wouldn’t activate if the circuit was overloaded

We rectified this by:

  • re-sleeving and reconnecting the earth cables

  • stripping and re-connecting live wires

  • connecting the metal light fitting to the earths
