Electrical problems in Carrington terraces and cottages

Carrington is cottages and terraces built long before anyone owned an air fryer. Most of our work here is catching the wiring up with the way people live.

One power point per room

Old cottages were never wired for kitchen benches full of appliances. We have fitted extra doubles, a four outlet power point where a double was, and refitted outlets into new wall panelling as it went up.

A skylight going in where the light already is

At one Carrington home the pendant sat right where the skylight opening needed to be. We rerouted the lighting, fitted two downlights with a dimmer, and corrected the circuit breaker size for a lighting circuit.

Old stove out, new one in

We isolated and removed the old stove, connected the new one, fitted a heat, fan and light unit with its switch, and upgraded two circuit breakers to safety switches (RCBOs) while the board was open.

Electrical work in Carrington yards and pools

Pool lights with no cable left

We dug new trenches from three pool light positions back to the pool shed, removed the old wiring where we could reach it, and left the cabling ready for the pool company's fittings.

A dark yard and nowhere to plug in

Three twin spotlights went up, one of them on a sensor, along with two weatherproof double power points outside and another one inside. No more extension leads out the window.

Carrington questions

Can you add more power points in an old Carrington cottage?

Yes. In Carrington homes we have added double power points, a four outlet power point in place of a double, and refitted outlets into new VJ wall panelling as it went up.

Can new downlights be put on a dimmer?

Usually yes, with LED fittings and a dimmer made to suit them. At one Carrington home we fitted two dimmable downlights when a skylight took the spot the old pendant hung in, and corrected the circuit breaker size while we were at the board.

Do you wire pool lights?

Yes. At a Carrington property we trenched and ran new cabling from three pool light positions back to the pool shed, ready for the pool company to fit the lights.

Can you connect a new stove or cooktop?

Yes. We isolate and remove the old appliance, connect and test the new one, and tell you first if the circuit behind it needs work.
