ELECTRICAL POINTERS
Worth knowing before you plan the work, set a budget and hire a Electrician.
USEFUL TO KNOW
Since 2020, landlords in England must have an EICR carried out every 5 years and provide a copy to tenants. Failing to do so can result in a fine of up to £30,000. If an EICR flags unsatisfactory work, it has to be fixed within 28 days or a shorter period the report specifies.
SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
Listed building consent can be needed for chasing cable runs into original plaster or masonry, even though the electrical work itself is assessed the same way as any other property under Part P. Conduit and surface-mounted cabling are sometimes used instead of chasing into walls specifically to avoid this — worth discussing with an electrician who's worked on listed properties before.
REGULATIONS & SAFETY
Under Part P of the Building Regulations, certain electrical work in a home is notifiable — it has to be carried out by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or separately inspected by your council's building control. New circuits, consumer unit replacements, and any new work in a kitchen or bathroom are notifiable. Like-for-like socket or switch swaps usually aren't.
THE PROCESS EXPLAINED
Overloading a single socket with extension leads and adaptors, especially outdoors or over the festive period, is one of the more common causes of a winter electrical fault. Outdoor lights need outdoor-rated (IP-rated) connectors, and it's worth having sockets checked before peak season if your property's wiring is older.
SAFETY & COMPLIANCE
A proper quote should state the scope of work, whether it's notifiable under Part P, an itemised breakdown of labour vs materials, the certificate you'll receive on completion, and how long the job is expected to take. If a quote is missing any of these, ask before agreeing to the work.
UNDERSTANDING THE JOB
An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks a property's wiring against current safety standards and flags anything worn, damaged or non-compliant. Landlords are legally required to get one every 5 years; homeowners aren't, but it's worth having on an older property or one you've just bought where the wiring history is unknown.
HOW IT WORKS
Running power to a detached garage or workshop means an armoured cable, usually buried, and its own consumer unit or sub-board with RCD protection at the supply end. If you're planning to run power tools or an EV charger from it, size the supply for that from the start — upgrading later usually means digging the cable run up again.
THE PROCESS EXPLAINED
Solar PV and battery storage installation is specialist work, usually done by an MCS-certified installer rather than a general electrician, and needs its own isolation switches and a compliant connection to your consumer unit. Your energy supplier and network operator also need to be notified before or after installation, depending on system size.
LOCAL GUIDE
Rimswell is a village and civil parish in the East Riding of Yorkshire, located in an area known as Holderness about 2 miles north-west of Withernsea between the B1243 and B1362 roads. The parish includes the village of Rimswell and the hamlet of Waxholme, and the 2011 census recorded 235 residents, up from 198 in 2001. Local heritage includes the Grade II listed parish church of St Mary (now closed), and the Prime Meridian passes just to the east of the village. Historically Rimswell was linked to the lost parish of Owthorne and in the early 19th century supported multiple farmers and a carrier to Hull. The village sits within the East Riding authority and uses the HU19 postcode district, so building control, planning and waste services are managed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. For people hiring trades, the small population and village setting imply narrower lanes and limited on-street parking, so confirm vehicle access and whether trades need to deliver materials by hand; rural housing in Holderness also often requires attention to external maintenance, drainage and traditional building fabric, so look for trades with local rural experience and knowledge of listed-building considerations where applicable.
Rimswell’s very small village character in Holderness, HU19 postcode and narrow lanes close to Withernsea mean electricians need to plan for limited on‑street parking and potential hand‑carriage of materials; confirm vehicle access and delivery arrangements before work. The village’s mix of older rural houses and the presence of listed fabric nearby means electricians will frequently encounter ageing consumer units and wiring that benefit from an EICR and, where necessary, consumer‑unit upgrades or targeted rewiring.
Work in domestic premises is notifiable under Part P; hiring an electrician registered with NICEIC or NAPIT allows self‑certification so building‑control paperwork is kept straightforward, which is useful in small parishes where council inspections may be less frequent but still necessary. EV charger demand may be lower in small villages but is growing—installers must size circuits and consider cable runs and trenching across limited access. When arranging electrical work in Rimswell, ask electricians for recent EICR examples, confirm Part P or competent‑person registration, and discuss how they will manage material deliveries and vehicle access on narrow lanes.
