Electrical Checks

Make sure your property has mains wired smoke alarms fitted upstairs and downstairs and that they are interconnected. The headlines in some papers have reported deaths due to batteries running out.
Over the years many domestic customers have had decorating and home improvements carried out then called to have electrical work under taken causing major problems installing the cables, always have your electrical work and plumbing done first.

If you use extensions and adapters in your home, you may be in need of additional sockets and could be creating a potential hazard.
There is a very real danger from overloading your supply, and in extreme cases these can overheat and lead to a fire.
