It has never been more important to get into the habit of testing your RCD's once every six months and here's why:
RCD's have been at the forefront of providing protection against electric shocks in the home for years and years. Traditional methods of providing protection have been substituted and shelved in favour of installing these devices instead
I have recently had a number of existing customers from both the Cambridge and Huntingdon areas contact me, chasing copies of old certification on their properties because they have mislaid the documents and require them urgently for reasons such as selling/letting a property etc

Posh garden lighting is high in demand right now and my requests for quotations to install external lighting products still continue to rise
I would like to share a few hints and tips with you when deciding on your project:
1. Decide on what colour lighting you wish to have in your garden and stick to the same colour throughout- I personally favour the warmer white coloured light (yellow like a candle). I believe this is the most relaxing type of lighting and the easiest on the eye. Perfect for the twilight on a warm summers evening
It is not often I get the opportunity to carry out full rewires to houses for several reasons, but I am glad that I had the opportunity to carry out this one in December. A complete overhaul of a 5-bedroom house right in the heart of the town of Cambridge
The property is to become a home of multiple occupants, meaning that extra considerations had to be given to the electrical installation to comply with standards and law, meaning that additional smoke detectors had to be installed in every room and emergency lighting present in the building
A challenge for myself

AFDD’s do (apparently) exactly what their name suggests, they detect arcs from faulty or damaged electric cable/equipment and shut the power off instantly. These devices are not new, they have been in use for some time in other countries and are now making their way over here.
The NICEIC is the UK’s leading regulatory body for the electrical contracting industry and have been operational for some 60 years. All of their contractors are assessed regularly to make sure that they are competent in their field and adhere to stringent technical and safety standards.
Under their platinum promise, any workmanship is protected for six years, meaning if you are unhappy with any work carried out, you can contact them and they will send an independent tradesman to check the quality of the work and redo if necessary.
Not only does this give you peace of mind from the financial viewpoint, but it promises that the craftsmanship you are paying for is of impeccable standard.
