Example Number | Source | Property Date | Storeys/Location | Property Type | Summary Information | Hazard | Link |
1 | IDeA | 1964 | 2 storey | Traditional house | Still
has original electrical wiring. There is only one double and one single
electrical socket in the kitchen, the position of which necessitate the
use of extension leads and trailing cables. | D | Example 1 |
2 | BCC | Pre 1920 | Ground Floor Flat | Block converted into 4 flats | In
the living room, there are two low-level broken sockets, with exposed
wiring. In addition, there are two low-level consumer units with
missing covers, one of which has unsealed cable entry points. | B | Example 2 |
3 | CLG | 1930s | 2 storey | Semi detached house | Property
has undergone very little modernisation, and the electrical system is
largely as originally installed. The main supply, meter, and fuses are
sited at low level in the ground floor hall. The fuse-box cover is
missing, and the wiring above the meter is loose and not fully
protected. Many of the power outlets have the original two pin sockets. | B | Example 3 |
4 | CLG | 1950s | 2 storey | 3 Bedroomed end terrace house | The
electric immersion heater has a leaking gasket where the immersion
heater enters the cylinder, resulting in a small but continuous leak.
The water seeping into the switch box could give rise to an electrical
accident. | E | Example 4 |
