Milton Keynes was planned as a grid of roughly one-kilometre squares, and most squares hold one estate built in a few years by one developer. Homes on the same estate usually share the same wiring, the same consumer unit and the same weak spots.
The usual findings
- Original 1970s wiring: often sound, but now around 50 years old.
- No RCD protection on some circuits unless the board was upgraded.
- Storage heaters and off-peak circuits in some homes.
- Flat roofs and timber frames, where damp can reach lofts and ceiling roses.
Garage courts and outbuildings
Many 1970s and 1980s estates put garages in shared courts or blocks. If a garage, shed or garden office is fed from the house, it is part of the installation and needs testing.
Build periods are approximate and many homes have been rewired since. The inspector reports on what is there on the day.
