@Tom_J_McGorry I saw your wife Amanda being interviewed from India yesterday on BBC News. I have a friend who is also stranded in the same town in India, Rishikesh. Also trying to get home. Would it be possible to put them in touch? You could DM me? Graeme
@AmandaMcgorry Hello, I've just seen your BBC interview. I have a friend who is also currently stuck in a hostel in Rishikesh, isolated, looking to get home. Please can you DM me to see if I can put you in touch ? Graeme Roberts
Replacing a cramped, insufficient Consumer Unit with a new unit. Full segregation of circuits, all clearly labelled. All circuits were tested during the process, and some relatively minor yet important faults were identified and fixed.
Upgrading lights throughout the house. Well-chosen by the client for the interior, others suggested by me.
There was alot of tidying up of cables to make them neat or hidden where possible,
I particularly like making people safer. So I swapped an on/off broken porch light for a modern bright LED with motion sensor.
It welcomes you home, lights the steps, help you find the key lock.
Plus it shines a light on any unwanted guests.
Tiding up a home office: add a socket with USB ports above desk level, installing trunking to contain all the cables, & re-routing or shortening cables where possible. I forgot to take a 'before' photo, there were cables all over the floor. A simple but rewarding little job.
No electrical work today, as I was driving the Risborough Area Community Bus. The weather was a challenge, but the views were beautiful and the passengers were happy.
Replacing a long-broken outside light with an LED light that will reliable illuminate the front pathway steps for years ahead. Safety first. If it looks good too, that's superb.

This was a very complicated job to re-locate the main consumer unit in a big house. And in the process, raising the standard of safety from moderate to current standards. (I, like all electricians, take pride in doing this).
Before you call an electrician, consult the Electrical Safety First website to see if their clear guides help with your issue. They have lots of tips and help, I think they're great.
And if not, choose an electrician who complies with their ethos and standards (hint = me)
