WELCOME TO 5 CAMDEN PLACE, WINKLEY SQUARE PRESTON, A FULL COMMERCIAL ELECTRICAL REWIRE.

WELCOME TO 5 CAMDEN PLACE, WINKLEY SQUARE PRESTON, A FULL COMMERCIAL ELECTRICAL REWIRE.

5 Camden is the second commercial rewire we have carried out for Money Penny properties LTD. Our first project was a five-apartment commercial conversion on Ribblesdale. This project was double the floor space of Ribblesdale comprising of seven apartments, tow two bedroomed apartments, one penthouse style apartments, two one bedroomed apartments and two studio apartments.

First off for this installation, the 3-phase supply to the property required upgrading by Electricity Northwest, once this was complete it allowed us to install a new 3 phase distribution board located in the cellar. From this distribution board we installed the following

  • A new fire alarm throughout the building
  • Emergency lighting system throughout the landlords’ areas
  • New supplies to each apartment
  • Landlords power
  • Office power and lighting in the basement
  • Outside lighting

Each apartment has a down lights, led lighting, USB charger’s new consumer units, kitchen appliances, local smoke, and heat detection.

This property has now been fully tested, certified and a five yearly EICR issued, the property is now ready to accept their first guests.

    HOW TO CHECK MY ELECTRICAL WIRING TO SEE IF MY HOUSE NEEDS REWIRING?

    HOW TO CHECK YOUR ELECTRICAL WIRING TO SEE IF MY HOUSE NEEDS REWIRING.

    How do you check your wiring? This is a question we get asked often, to most people it only becomes obvious that a property needs rewiring when things stop working or fuses start to blow.

    The best and most detailed option is to have what is called an EICR carried out or an Electrical Installation condition report. An EICR involves an electrician carrying out an inspection and test of an electrical installation and compiling a detailed report of the installations condition and safety for on going use. It is recommended that a domestic property owner should carry out an EICR at least every ten years. If the property is commercial or a rental property, then there are different timescales for these inspections.

     An EICR is particularly valuable if you are purchasing a property and the property is 20 years or older. If you are buying older properties then it is safe to say there will have been modifications to the original installation, the trouble with this is if the person doing the work was not a qualified electrician. This can throw up all sorts of problems to a potential buyer and can cost £000’s if the property requires rewiring.

    Sometimes a property needs a rewire simply because the installation is very dated and could be original, take a 1960’s bungalow on the Fylde Coast for instance. If this property still has the old rewireable fuse style fuse box, sockets mounted in the skirting boards and no earths on the lighting circuits then it will just make sense if you are buying the property to have an EICR carried out before purchasing.

    Some other tell tale signs your property may need rewiring are, sockets in skirting boards, sockets and switches with the screws on the top and bottom of the switches instead of the sides, lighting pendants in front of a window and not in the centre of the room, cables going into the fuse box which are black rubber and the old style rewireable fuse boxes. These are some of the visual issues that you can spot whilst walking around the property, for more tell tale signs a property may need rewiring download our rewiring guide.

    There are a number of ways to check if your property may need rewiring but always recommend having a qualified and competent electrician carry out a detailed EICRR electrical inspection, this has the potential to save you £000’s or even your life in some instances.

    CAN WE SQUEEZE IN AN EMPTY THREE BEDROOMED SEMI DETACHED REWIRE IN CLEVELEYS? OF COURSE WE CAN!

    CAN WE SQUEEZE IN A THREE BEDROOMED SEMI-DETACHED REWIRE IN CLEVELEYS THIS WEEK? OF COURSE, WE CAN.

    After completing our last rewire in Bispham for Bryan and his family we had two days spare at the end of the week, we had a last minute rewire enquiry come in from Tom, our good friend over at Fylde Blockages drain specialists. Tom had just purchased a three bedroomed semi-detached property in Cleveleys town centre that needed a full renovation which included a full electrical rewire.

    The property was empty and had been stripped back to brick, so Fylde Coast rewires accepted the last-minute challenge. Charlie and Phil started this rewire on Thursday morning with Ashley jumping onto the job after lunch. It is safe to say, the FCR team rewired the property in two days, all except the kitchen as we are awaiting the kitchen design. This type of electrical rewire is a typical standard rewire that you would expect a landlord to request. There was no down lights or fancy electrical features. Carrying out a nice simple electrical rewire like this ensures there are no electrical maintenance costs in the future.

    In Toms own words –

    THREE BEDROOMED SEMI-DETACHED REWIRE IN BISPHAM. THIS ONE WAS URGENT!

    THREE BEDROOMED SEMI-DETACHED REWIRE IN BISPHAM, THIS ONE WAS URGENT!

    Last week Fylde Coast rewires were invited to quote for a three bedroomed semi detached property that our client had just purchased. On the initial property survey, it had been noted that the surveyor recommended a full electrical rewire. However, upon our client moving into the property this became more evident.

    Chris from Fylde Coast rewires carried out the initial site survey and quotation, as the survey was being carried out there was several noncompliance noticed such as, no earth cross bonding of the pipe work, no RC D protection on the consumer unit, the garage supply was eld up across the garden by the washing line and exposed live cables. Our customer had two young children living in the property, so FCR needed to move fast to help provide a safe and secure electrical installation at the property.

    We provided Bryan and his family with the quotation the very next day, this was quickly excepted so we moved some bookings we already had in place so we could start the rewire on the Monday.

    Ash, Charlie, and Phil took control of this project and fully rewired the property to include the following.

    • A NEW CONSUMER UNIT
    • REWIRED THE UPSATIRS SOCKETS ONTO THEIR OWN CIRCUIT
    • REWIRED THE UPSTAIRS LIGHTING ONTO THEIR OWN CIRCUIT TO INCLUDE A LOFT LIGHT
    • A NEW SHOWER CIRCUIT
    • INSTLLED A BATHROOM EXTRACT FAN
    • REWIRED THE DOWNSTAIRS LIGHTING ONTO THEIR OWN CIRCUIT
    • REWIRED THE DOWNSTAIRS SOCKETS ONTO THEIR OWN CIRCUIT
    • PULLED IN A NEW KITCHEN SOCKET CIRCUIT READY FOR THE NEW KITCHEN INSTALLATION
    • REWIRED THE GARAGE SUPPLY (MINUS THE WASHING LINE) TO INCLUDE AN EV CHARGER
    • FULLY TESTED AND CERTIFIED THE INSTALLATION

    This work was all completed within 3.5 days, we are happy that Bryan and his family can now enjoy their new family home knowing the electrical installation is safe secure and up to date with the current wiring regulations
