Worcester Park socket price
The test on a Cheam Common Road semi chooses a spur or a new circuit. The original layout often cannot take another spur, especially in a rear extension. The Hamptons may have a spare way on a modern board. Central Road flats stay on that flat's circuit.

What happens on the day
Worcester Park sockets start with a test. A spur is added only on a circuit that can carry it. 1930s semis on Cheam Common Road and Green Lane still on the original layout often cannot take another spur, especially in a rear extension. A new circuit then lands on a board that has a way. Newer homes at The Hamptons, off Caldbeck Avenue, may have that way on a modern board. Central Road flats are worked on that flat's circuit only.
- Let the test chooseGreen Lane houses on the original layout are tested before any spur is promised. That layout often fails the test. The alternative is a new circuit, not a spur that overloads the old one.
- Use a modern board honestlyThe Hamptons and Longfellow Road have modern boards. A spare way is used when it exists. A full board is reported first. The new socket is not hung on a lighting circuit just to dodge a full board.
- Stay in the flatCentral Road flats get the socket from the board in the flat. The parade is not a spare way. The cable stays inside the flat being worked on.

WhatsAppWill you spur off a working socket on Cheam Common Road?
Only if the test shows the original layout can take it. Those 1930s semis often cannot, and a socket that works is not spare capacity.
Where does a new circuit start at The Hamptons?
At a spare way on the modern board, when one exists. Homes off Caldbeck Avenue are newer, but a full board is still reported before the socket is cut in.
Is a rear extension on Green Lane a reason to add a spur?
It is a reason to test. The extension sits on the original layout until a test says otherwise. The extra room does not create capacity.
Can a Central Road flat spur off the parade?
No. The socket is on the flat's own circuit. The unit below is a different supply and is not opened for this job.
Is a socket on Windsor Road a different test?
No. Windsor Road uses the same test as anywhere else in Worcester Park. The result picks a spur or a new circuit. The road name does not add capacity.
