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 Southmead.
Homes from the 1920s and 1930s
In Southmead: Southmead's first council houses were built for people moved out of slums under the 1930s Housing Act.
Many have been partly rewired over the years, so it is common to find old and new cable side by side. Original lighting circuits often have no earth, which limits the light fittings you can use. A new consumer unit with RCD protection is one of the most common upgrades.
Post-war houses and estates
In Southmead: Southmead's first council houses were built for people moved out of slums under the 1930s Housing Act.
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.
We will tell you honestly what needs doing now and what can wait, and you get a clear price before anything is booked.
