Case Study: External Lighting Fault – PIR Looping Issue
Client: Homeowner, BS35
Service Type: Fault-Finding & Remedial Work
A local homeowner located in Thornbury approached our company in need of a registered electrician to complete effective fault-finding and repairs to fix an external lighting issue. After discussing their needs and agreeing a plan, we:
-Discovered PIR-activated floodlights tripping breaker intermittently
-Diagnosed issue as feed looped through 3-way switching with incorrect polarity
-Rewired external circuit to own RCBO and separated earth terminals
-Installed surge-protected outdoor junction box and new bulkhead light
​
In doing so, we ensured the lighting loop fault was fixed with no further tripping reported from the client. The owner was completely satisfied with the work carried out and has been in touch to discuss further quotes on lighting services. It was a great job to show the importance of using a qualified electrician to install lighting rather than trying to do it yourself.
​
Challenges faced:
-Garden circuit was fed from loft via junction boxes with no access
-PIRs had been DIY fitted with no sleeving or CPC termination
-Property had tight tolerances on trunking routes so we used flexible conduit under eaves
Case Study: Quote Challenge – Loft Feed with No Access, Rewire Adaptation
Client: Local Landlord, NP19
Service Type: Quote & Design Workaround
A local landlord located in Thornbury approached our company in need of a quote from a qualified electrician, to rewire the property to keep it compliant but with the added challenge of having no loft access. After discussing their needs and agreeing a plan, we quoted for:
-Full lighting rewire proposed with no loft access
-Suggested re-routing cables via drops, mini-trunking, and surface boxes
-Used 2-way switching with remote switching relays as workaround
-Proposed smoke alarms fed from DB via base-isolated RCBO
​
In doing so, we impressed the client with our attention to detail and realism in the quote, ensuring that all aspects of the project were made clear with no-hidden-costs. It was a clear example of VLV's flexibility and transparency even at the quotation stage.
​
Challenges faced:
-Hatch sealed and inaccessible; landlord refused loft boarding
-Surface trunking had to be installed in tenant-occupied rooms
-Lighting loop had multiple unknown junctions so we route traced with tone tester
