A focused repair is suitable only when diagnosis confirms one local cause and the point, cable, location
and access are sound.
Repairs that can often stay local
-
One suitable like-for-like switch, socket, fused spur, pull cord, fan isolator or similar accessory.
-
One confirmed poor local connection or fitting issue where the existing cable and enclosure remain
suitable.
- A contained repair supported by evidence, not a part changed in hope.
What may only become clear on site
-
Brittle insulation, heat or cable damage, a hidden joint close to the point, or a damaged or buried
back box may need a separate plan.
-
Older plaster can crumble and walls may be uneven or out of square. Electrical repair and decorative
making-good should be explained separately.
-
These occasional findings do not prove the whole installation is bad. You should be shown what was
found and agree any extra work before it continues.
