Here at Paradigm Electrical Solutions in Aylesbury we are fortunate enough to regularly maintain the electrics at our beautiful local National Trust site, Ascott House & Gardens in Buckinghamshire. Our team recently attended Ascott House & Gardens to certify safe power supply to the Lily Pond’s water fountain. We installed an Earth Electrode into the ground, this assures the water fountain is safely powered with IP rated, water resistant electrics.
Reliable Electrical Maintenance for Conservation Sites
Conservation sites or a conservation area is defined as an area of special architectural or historic interest, in which is considered to be worthy of preservation and upkeep. Just as the grounds, house or any part of a conservation area is regularly maintained, the electrics should be treated with the same concern.
What electrical maintenance is required?
Examples of electrical maintenance we may carry out on heritage sites can include:
- Upkeep of lights both indoors and out.
- Outdoor socket installation and testing used to power garden maintenance tools.
- Fault finding and repairs.
- Annual safety inspections such as EICRs & PAT tests.
Why is electrical maintenance important?
Electrical maintenance is crucial in any setting. For heritage sites with listed buildings, regular safety inspections and upgrades are key – they ensure the premises provides safe and efficient electrics, making the property safe for employees, volunteers, and visitor alike. Heritage and conservation sites often have hundreds of people visit on a daily basis, because of this the property can quickly be exposed to wear and tear if not properly conserved.
Unconventional properties such as a grade listed building which are commonly located within conservation areas often have unique electrical safety regulations which they must comply with. With an older property, the electrical system is often much more complex meaning faults must be quickly flagged and repaired to a high standard to avoid any further damage. Building materials and property structure can also pose a higher fire risk meaning faulty wiring should always be checked to avoid this hazard strengthening.
