Electricians and security systems in Cookridge
Electricians and Ajax alarm installers across Cookridge and LS16, for post-war semis, detached housing and the newer developments.
Cookridge is largely post-war and later: interwar and 1950s semis through the older part, detached housing towards Holt Park, and a good deal of newer development on the edges.
Housing of that age is usually sound but rarely untouched. Most properties have had a kitchen extension, a loft conversion or a conservatory added at some point, and the electrical work that came with each varies enormously depending on who did it and when.
Extensions, loft conversions and what came with them
The common thread in this sort of housing is additions. A conservatory fed off a spur from the dining room socket. A loft conversion where the lighting was run off the landing circuit. A kitchen extension wired competently but never certificated.
None of it is necessarily dangerous, but it is worth knowing what you have, particularly before selling, or before adding anything else to a circuit that is already carrying more than it was designed for. A full inspection and test is the straightforward way to find out.
Detached property and perimeter cover
Detached housing gives an intruder something a terrace does not: sides. Two flanks with no overlooking, often a gate down one of them, and frequently a garage or outbuilding tucked out of sight.
That shapes the design. Detection on the approach rather than only at the doors, lighting down both flanks rather than just the rear, and cameras positioned for a usable image at the gate instead of a wide shot of the whole garden.
What we install in Cookridge
Questions we get asked in Cookridge
Not legally, but it is the only way to know the condition of an installation you cannot see. Most people have one done before selling, before major work, or when they have inherited a house with an unknown history.
Yes. A detached garage or outbuilding can be brought onto the same system, which is usually worth doing. It is often where the tools and bikes are.
