“What is a simple job for a qualified electrician can turn into a nightmare for a homeowner. We have been called out numerous times to rectify faulty wiring that has been caused by the homeowner attempting to carry out the job themselves, we have had damaged light fittings, damaged cables and switches and in some cases we have had electrical accessories that have caught on fire. In the end this costs the homeowner a lot more money to rectify than it would have to hire the electrician in the first place. Electricity is extremely dangerous. It can kill. Leave it to the professionals and don’t chance it to save a few quid.”

“A repair that isn’t done correctly is a failure waiting to happen. Some common errors include: (1) Poor hygiene. Lay disassembled parts on a clean surface, such as cloth for that purpose. At every step, prevent the introduction of grit, chemical contaminants, and water. Even finger oil on contact surfaces can create problems later. (2) Misapplication of lubricants.

Use only the lubricant specified by the manufacturer. Don’t over lubricate.”
