Why Resetting the Trip in Stowmarket Is Not a Fix
Wood Electrical LTD, a team of electrical contractors based in Ipswich, covers electrical fault finding in Stowmarket and the rest of East Anglia. An RCD that keeps tripping has detected current leaking where it should not, and resetting it repeatedly is not a fix. The fault has to be traced circuit by circuit.
What does fault finding actually involve?
A tripping RCD is doing its job: it has seen current leaking. The cause is often an appliance, sometimes damp in an outside fitting, and sometimes damaged cable. Resetting it repeatedly is not a repair.
Finding a fault is careful, step by step testing: circuit by circuit, with calibrated test equipment, until the fault shows itself. Fault finding is Wood Electrical LTD work, domestic through to industrial.
Can I sell my house without an electrical safety certificate?
Yes. There is no legal requirement in England to have an EICR before selling a house. A buyer's solicitor may still ask for certificates for any electrical work done since 2005, and gaps can cause delays.
When does a fuse board need replacing?
The consumer unit, still called the fuse board by most people, is where every circuit in the house starts. A board with rewireable fuses and no RCDs is the classic reason to upgrade. Scorch marks, a warm casing or a crackling sound mean isolate and call rather than wait.
A replacement is notifiable work under Part P in England, and the circuits are tested before the new board is energised. Wood Electrical LTD installs consumer units, circuit breakers and sub circuits.
Who is an electrical contractor?
An electrical contractor is a business that takes on electrical installation and maintenance work under contract, employing the electricians who carry it out. Wood Electrical LTD describes itself as qualified and professional electrical contractors, based in Ipswich.
What are cable trays and trunking for?
Containment is the system that carries and protects cables through a building: cable trays, conduit, cable ladders and trunking. It protects the wiring from mechanical damage and the environment.
The benefit shows later, when circuits need adding or changing, with clear, accessible runs that allow for more cable. Wood Electrical LTD designs and installs commercial containment systems in line with BS 7671.
