Frome's BA11 housing stock is mixed, Georgian townhouses on Catherine Hill and Trinity, Victorian terraces, ex-mill conversions and modern estates around Critchill and Mount. The mill conversions in particular present interesting challenges: high ceilings, exposed brick, original timber and bathrooms or hot-tubs squeezed into former industrial spaces.

No two airing cupboards are the same, so we don't publish a price list. The price depends on what the job involves: a new radial and switched fused connection unit, Economy 7 timer and dual-element wiring, a fault-find on a tripping element, or a burnt switch replacement, along with access and the cable route back to the board. We quote each job on its own merits, with a fixed price in writing before we start.
Yes, we've done several in Frome. Mill conversions usually have exposed brick walls and timber floors, so cables either run in containment along beam lines or get fed through service voids. We always agree the route with the leaseholder and management company first if it's a shared building.
Almost always a failed immersion element, when the Incoloy element corrodes, water leaks into the heating core and goes to earth. The RCD trips because there's a real earth fault. We test insulation resistance with a Megger, confirm element failure, isolate the supply and quote a replacement element with parts and labour.
Yes if you have an Economy 7 meter and the tank has two elements (or a single element you're happy to use overnight only). We wire two FCUs, one for the off-peak bottom element on the Economy 7 circuit, one for a 'boost' top element on standard tariff. A timer switches the off-peak circuit during the cheap-rate window.
