Brechin Sparks
Practical guidance on electrical faults, inspections and upgrades for homes and businesses in Brechin and Angus, written by James Leslie.
6 guides in total
A landlord EICR checklist for Scotland: the paperwork to find, notice for tenants, the access the electrician needs, and what C1, C2, C3 and FI codes mean.
Step by step with UK wiring diagrams: check the socket is on the ring, pick the take-off point and fuse, wire SUPPLY and LOAD, then test it safely.
Which wire is live, neutral and earth, what each one does, where you meet them in plugs, switches and ceiling roses, and how UK colours changed in 2004.
What size cable for lights, sockets, a cooker, an electric shower or an EV charger: a UK chart of typical sizes, a finder, and why length and insulation matter.
Replacing or fitting a fused connection unit: which FCU you need, SUPPLY vs LOAD, wiring a flex outlet, the right fuse, and the checks before switching on.
Every job is different. Tell James what is happening and where you are, and he will talk you through the options. For an urgent fault, call rather than waiting for a form reply.
