Local facts from: en.wikipedia.org
The age and type of a building decide most of what we find when we open up the electrics. Here is what that means in Yate.
Post-war houses and estates
In Yate: The Ridge housing estate was built in the 1950s.
Homes from this period often have older consumer units and fewer sockets than people need now. Before adding an electric shower, an EV charger or an extension, we check the supply, the earthing and the protection on the board.
Newer homes and estates
In Yate: The town grew again in the 1990s and 2000s with new housing at North Yate.
Newer homes usually have modern wiring and RCD protection, so most work is adding to what is there: EV chargers, outside power, extra sockets and lighting, and EICRs for landlords and sales.
We will tell you honestly what needs doing now and what can wait, and you get a clear price before anything is booked.
