Did you know that 60% of all accidental house fires are electrical? This staggering statistic highlights the importance of ensuring your home’s electrical system is safe and up to date.

This equates to approximately 20,000 fires across the UK, with accidental electrical fires in the home resulting in 40 deaths and nearly 4,000 casualties.” These numbers are a stark reminder of the importance of electrical safety.
