St Just is the westernmost town in mainland Britain, and it feels like it. The housing stock is predominantly granite, the terrain is exposed, and the older properties have typically received minimal electrical investment over the years. I cover the whole TR19 area, including Sennen, Cape Cornwall, Botallack, and the villages of the western cape.
The Plen-an-Gwari - the old amphitheatre at the centre of town - is a useful landmark but the surrounding streets are typical of West Penwith: narrow, granite-walled, and not always accessible to larger vehicles. Properties here frequently have wiring that dates back several decades, sometimes with unsafe additions from DIY work. Holiday lets are becoming more common in the area, driven by tourism interest in the dramatic coastline, which means growing demand for EICRs and five-yearly reinspection work.
A family in St Just were having a kitchen refitted and discovered the existing wiring couldn't support the new appliances - a single ring main for the whole ground floor, no dedicated circuits for the cooker or dishwasher, and a consumer unit with no spare ways.
See full project →The owners of a holiday cottage near St Just needed an EICR to satisfy their holiday let insurer. They'd had the property for several years and had no record of any previous electrical inspection. The cottage was booked from early summer and there was a hard deadline to get a Satisfactory certificate in place.
