Live moss in a light fitting discovered in Heage and rewires!

Two images of a man looking shocked, on the left is an image of a light fitting with moss, on the right is diagonal wiring, above is the text What has Hector's Electrics been up to this week?

We have completed the first fix a of a bungalow rewire in Heage. It shows a small section of doubles sockets, ethernet, aerial, and sky cable.

During that process we discovered old cables running diagonally which contravenes building regulations.

We got to work replacing this smoke detector in Hilton. The old one had gone past its 10 year replacement date!

Whilst fault finding we found this exterior light which was rusty inside and full of moss. Bizarrely it was still live. It's also supplied with the wrong cable for outside use. It's amazing what nature can do!

Next we performed an EICR test for a landlord in Derby City Centre!

We then did a second fix of electrics in an extension in Hilton.

Then a fixing of a extension in Etwall.

Then another round of EICR testing, this time for a home owner in Allestree!
