The fitting can look fine from the path. ### The Street shared RCDs Garden sockets often share an RCD with the kitchen, so a wet garden trips the indoor circuit too. ### Colchester Road gate supplies Driveway trench joints fail after a wet winter. The joint is named before the whole feed is replaced. ### Creek pontoon supplies Pontoon or jetty feeds are isolated so they are not left live while the house is tested. ### Industrial edge workshops Three phase workshops toward Maldon are a different visit from a house garden light. ## Heybridge weather and what it means for faults Salt air, wet gardens and trench joints fail outside first. Indoor sockets are opened after those fittings. ### Basin Road waterside walls IP ratings and glands are checked before indoor sockets. ### The Street cottages A wet garden socket on a shared RCD trips the kitchen. Splitting that RCD is a later visit. ### Colchester Road later houses Gate supplies in a driveway trench sit in winter water at the joints. ### Heybridge Creek plots Jetty supplies must be isolated so the house test is not blaming a live pontoon feed. ### Units toward Maldon Three phase faults are booked as workplace work, not as a house garden visit. ## What happens on the day The visit starts outside, isolates the failed fitting or joint, then writes the finding before any extra work is priced. ### Outside fittings first Basin Road glands, The Street garden sockets and Colchester Road trench joints are opened before indoor points. ### The board that feeds them The circuit is isolated. A shared RCD is recorded if the kitchen trips with the garden. ### The finding in writing The failed fitting, cable or indoor feed is named.
