FAKE BRITON THE DANGERS

graham — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 19:31:55 +0000

On this programme it was highlighted that fake cable is being used, this can lead to fire due to insufficient copper in the cable, which cause overheating. Toxic fumes from the PVC on the cable that should protect us in an event of fire, this cable is known as fire resistant and last for up to 3hrs in a fire not like the fake cable which as the programme showed about 5 minutes
This could be one of the reasons for cheap job , also cheap accessories from abroad, you as consumer never knows, like Russian roulette.
Are you prepared to take the risk and play Russian roulette with you home, family or your life?
Barton Electrical always uses British Standard cable and accessories, so that’s why we say cheap job could be expensive

Chickens coming home to roost

In these challenging times it is so very tempting to take a cheap price, often by having a friend or a mate , a non registered electrician to carry out in your home, often cheapest is the more expensive
We are now seeing a rise in call outs to rectify work to BS standards 17th Edition with extreme cost implications, often includes re- decorating, removing fittings, installed kitchen unit, baths etc
One question to ask is it worth it NO should be the answer
Use a professional company BARTON ELECTRICAL who has a solid reputation over 40 years of quality and competitive pricing

This cold weather has been an excellent time for my company, so the last month was a blur, breakdowns, call outs, for fuse board, heating, outside light, installations of heating etc due to this weather, you could say a balck cloud had a silver lining or may be gold
We look to next year now and may you all have a good year
