What happens on the day

Interwar semis across KT17 and KT19 are on their second or third board, so a dead room is matched to the board that feeds it. Listed buildings on Church Street sit on the pavement, and the tests stay inside. A repair that can be finished with what is on the van is finished. New cable is written up after the cause is named.

  • Name the dead boardThe board that feeds the dead room is identified before a cover comes off. A KT19 semi may carry more than one board, and the others stay closed while that one is tested.
  • Test from insideChurch Street and the High Street have pavement at the front, so there is no outside socket run to start from. The meter, the board and the dead points are all reached from indoors.
  • Repair or leave safeA joint, a damaged accessory or a failed appliance lead is repaired when the parts are to hand. If the cause needs new cable, that work is described before anyone starts it.

Ewell fault questions

Still have a question?

Which board do you open in a KT19 semi?

The one that feeds the dead circuit. Interwar houses here are often on a second or third board, and the boards that are still healthy stay closed.

Are tests on Church Street done without opening the front?

Yes. Those listed buildings front the pavement, so the tests are indoors, at the board and at the dead points. Protected fabric stays closed.

What if the cause is an appliance?

The circuit test shows that. We can deal with the flex or the plug. A repair inside the appliance itself is not this visit.

Do you start new cable during the same call?

Only when the cause is already clear and the cable work was accepted. Otherwise the new cable is described first, then booked.

What should be written down before arrival?

Which rooms went dead, what still works, and whether a KT17 board or another board clicked off. A photo of that board helps the first test.
