What happens on the day
Extended semis through Lower Ashtead, around Barnett Wood Lane and Agates Lane, are on long serving circuits, so a dead room may be the extension rather than the original house. Large houses on the Ashtead Park side spread the supply over several boards and outbuildings. The dead part is named before a cover comes off anywhere else.
- Separate the extensionBarnett Wood Lane extensions are identified at the added circuit before the original board is opened. Agates Lane houses that have been extended are treated the same way, and a healthy circuit is left alone.
- Match the outbuildingAn Ashtead Park outbuilding is fed from its own board on many of these houses. That board is the one tested when the house itself still has power. The other boards stay closed.
- Keep the cottage closedPeriod cottages along The Street are not opened through to chase a cable. The test stays at the board and at the dead points, and the building is worked around rather than cut.

WhatsAppWhich board is opened when an Ashtead Park outbuilding is dead?
The board that feeds that building. Houses on the Ashtead Park side often have several boards, and the ones that still have power stay closed while the dead feed is tested.
Is an extension circuit on Barnett Wood Lane checked before the original?
Yes when the dead room is in the extension. Those Lower Ashtead semis were extended onto long serving circuits, so the added circuit is named before the original house board is disturbed.
Are cottages on The Street opened up to find a cable?
No. The tests stay at the board and at the points that have gone dead. Cable for these cottages is planned around the building, and the fabric is not cut just to look.
What if a socket still works but the new load does not?
A working socket does not show spare capacity. The circuit is tested for the load that failed. Agates Lane houses often show the fault on the circuit added with the extension.
Do you change parts before the cause is named?
No. The visit names the cause first. A fitting or a length of cable is changed only when that cause is already clear and the parts are to hand.
