An Ashtead Park outbuilding can be isolated alone, and The Street fabric stays… TMB Electrics, based in Banstead, makes an Ashtead circuit safe by isolating the board that feeds it. An Ashtead Park outbuilding can be isolated on its own. ## Ashtead make safe price The figure is the visit that isolates the unsafe circuit and writes what has to follow. A repair on Barnett Wood Lane, or a new unit off Craddocks Avenue, is priced after the cause is known. - Emergency electrician: from £80 an hour; from £80 an hour - Parts used to leave the circuit safe are counted when they are fitted. - A full repair, a rewire or a condition report is not included. - Other boards that were left on are not charged as if they had been rebuilt. ## Emergency call-out & make safe across Ashtead We serve Ashtead from our base in Banstead. - The Street - Barnett Wood Lane - Woodfield Lane - Craddocks Avenue - Agates Lane - Ottways Lane - Park Lane - Ashtead Park - Ashtead Common - Ashtead station ## What happens on the day The visit isolates the circuit that is unsafe and leaves the rest of the building on where that is honest. On the Ashtead Park side the failed part may be the outbuilding board, so the house boards stay on. Period cottages on The Street are not opened to chase cable. A lasting repair is a follow up, written once the cause is known. Extended semis on Agates Lane are isolated at the extension circuit when that is the one that failed. ### Isolate the feeding board The board that feeds the danger is switched off and made safe. On the Ashtead Park side that may be the outbuilding board alone. House boards that are still sound are left in service. ### Leave the fabric shut Cottages on The Street stay closed. The make safe is at the board and at the damaged accessory, not a chase through the building. A proper repair is described afterwards. ### Write the follow up What was isolated, and what has to happen next, is written before we leave. New cable or a new unit is not started in the same breath unless it was already accepted. ## Ashtead make safe questions ### Can an Ashtead Park outbuilding be isolated without killing the house? Yes when it has its own board. The supply on that side is often spread that way, so the house boards stay on and the outbuilding feed is the one made safe. ### Will you open a cottage on The Street to find the damage? Not on this visit. The circuit is isolated and the damaged accessory is made safe. Chasing cable through the cottage is a follow up, and only if it is needed. ### Is the extension circuit on Agates Lane isolated on its own? When that is the circuit at fault. Extended semis there keep the original circuits on if they are not part of the same fault. ### Do you start a consumer unit change the same day? Only if that change was already accepted. Otherwise the unit off Craddocks Avenue or wherever it stands is left, and the unsafe circuit is isolated until the proper job is booked. ### What is written down before you leave? Which board was isolated, what still has power, and the repair that has to follow. That note is the start of the next visit, not a condition report. ## Other services in Ashtead - [Electrician in Ashtead](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-ashtead): Ashtead electrician for garden rooms, chargers and new circuits, planned from the real load, route and existing supply. - [Emergency call-out & make safe (all areas)](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/services/emergency-call-out-make-safe): Emergency call-out and make safe from TMB Electrics in Banstead, from £80/hr.
