During our work as electricians in Widnes and surrounding areas, we come across many situations that pose a danger to the users of the electrical installation. That is, you, the homeowner, shop owner, or person living in the property. To the untrained eye you may assume that everything is fine, you may think that something isn’t quite right but not know why, how or if it is dangerous.
We are the professionals in our specialised area. We perform fault finding, testing and inspection every day an we come across some appalling workmanship, some poor practice and some outright dangerous work.
Exposed wiring such as this is a great example of why only a professional should work on your electrical system. We can see the basic insulation coloured brown and blue here, this is not sufficient protection to keep you safe from LIVE parts! The sheath of the cable has been removed here leaving the cable exposed to damage and anyone near the cable exposed to potential harm.
When we come across situations like this we know that we will find even worse situations that are hidden under floorboards, behind kitchen appliances and panels, in lofts, behind sockets and so on.
If you have exposed wires in your home and need an electrician to come and check it out then call us. We can perform electrical inspections from a basic visual / minor test report through to a full Electrical Installation Condition Report for you.
Do not worry, do not fret, just call us and we will help.
