Smoke alarm installation in Colchester
Lighting Electrical installs fire and smoke alarms for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Colchester. Smoke and heat alarms are fitted in the rooms that need them, with the relevant electrical paperwork when the work is complete.
“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”
