Use a Qualified Electrician

Each year, defective wiring or appliances cause over 12,500
fires in homes like yours, resulting in 25 deaths and over
590 injuries. There are also over 500 injuries and 5 deaths
caused by faulty electrical installations.
Recent surveys show that over 2 millions homes in the UK
need some kind of electrical repair. Older houses are especially
at risk. There are also 2,000 injuries and 30 deaths from
electrocution in the home, many of which are due to DIY and
amateur repairs. That's why the Institution of Electrical
Engineers (IEE) recommends that home wiring installations
are checked every 10 years |

| Increasing legislation is being enforced to try and prevent
a number of accidents and deaths from faulty installations
and repairs. If you live in England or Wales especially,
you are now required by law to use an electrician competent
to current standards, to carry out most electrical work.
You are not only risking penalties, but also your life.
