A garage or annexe unit is recorded when that is the one switched off. A make safe visit in Kingswood switches off the unsafe circuit and records which board went off. A garage or annexe unit is named when that is the one. ## What the Kingswood make safe visit covers The charge is for switching off the unsafe circuit and recording which board still has power. That includes a unit in a garage or annexe when that is the one isolated. Replacing original wiring, or adding circuits off Copthill Lane, waits until the cause is clear. - Emergency electrician: from £80 an hour; from £80 an hour - The rented home inspection is not carried out on this call. - A board that stayed on is not billed as if it had been replaced. - Any later repair is costed after the cause has been named. ## Emergency call-out & make safe across Kingswood We serve Kingswood from our base in Banstead. - Waterhouse Lane - Warren Drive - The Warren - Furze Hill - Woodland Way - Copthill Lane - Kingswood station - Lower Kingswood ## What happens on the day We switch off the unsafe circuit and leave other circuits on only where that is true. If the house has a unit in the garage, annexe or outbuilding, the note says which one was isolated. A Costain house is not stripped of its additions and its original wiring on this visit. The lasting repair is booked once the cause is clear. Houses on Woodland Way that want extra circuits are not treated as an emergency for that reason. ### Name which board went off The note says whether the house board or the garage, annexe or outbuilding board was switched off. The two are not described as one board. ### Leave the additions in place A Costain house is made safe at the circuit that failed. The later additions and the original wiring are not taken out together on this visit. ### Write the next step Before we leave Warren Drive we note the board that went off and the repair that has to be booked next. ## Questions about making a Kingswood circuit safe ### If the house board is off, does the garage go off? Only when that garage is fed from the house board. Many Kingswood houses have a separate unit in the garage. The note records what actually went off. ### Will a Costain house be rewired on this visit? No. The failed circuit is isolated. The additions and the original wiring stay. A rewire is booked later if the tests say it is needed. ### Is wanting extra circuits on Woodland Way an emergency? No. Newer houses there generally want extra circuits rather than a rewire. This visit is an unsafe circuit, not a wish list. ### What is written down? The note names the board switched off, what remained live, and the repair to book next. A garage or annexe unit is named if that was the one isolated. ### Is this the same as fault finding? No. This visit removes the danger. Finding what failed, and putting that right, is a later booking at that house. ## Other services in Kingswood - [Electrician in Kingswood](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-kingswood): Electrician in Kingswood, Surrey (KT20).
