Black Friday – Cyber Monday


Black Friday  – Installing  Fire rated LED Downlights (Ansel prism) complete with rodent proof PVC trunking at an old weaver’s cottage in Honley .
 Cyber Monday – second fixing new extension in Holmbridge

Extension Holmbridge

Working on a lovely extension in Holmbridge  – complete with living room with velux windows, Kitchen / diner, utility, entrance room and roof terrace. Rather than extend existing circuits on an already extended 5 bed house I’ve split the main supply so all the new rooms are fed from a new consumer unit.

Recently installed RCBO did not operate –  also fan PCB (top) melted L-N reversed
A kitchen renovation –  light wasnt working – found this in ceiling

Call out today  – first of all it would be £150 to test and inspect the electrics , with a view to installing a new consumer unit as this one is damaged and there is a serious risk of fire.

Split the supply and added another consumer unit  / circuits for all the a new equipment being installed for this flourishing business  – including a new cold store + food prep area.

Electric Heating

Penzance Cornwall  – staying and working at a lovely cottage, installing electric heating.  Removed the off peak supply and re-configured it to single rate 24 hour, converting all the storage heater points to single sockets and fitting Heat Electric – http://www.heatelectric-uk.com/ water filled radiators that give off the same heat as gas central heating.

Not only are they the most comfortable of heat , they are also  the most efficent form of electric heating on the market – rather than using Oil or convectors which run at full power then switch on / off they use an element to heat and a pump to circulate the hot water around the radiator. Fully controllable from wireless programmer. Built in Wainstalls Halifax – some great  British manufacturing going on here!
