⚡ VERDIGRIS – A WARNING SIGN YOU SHOULDN’T IGNORE ⚡

Ever noticed a green, gooey liquid around old electrical cables that looks a bit like Fairy Liquid? 👀

This is commonly known as verdigris and can be found in older electrical installations, particularly wiring dating back to the 1960s and 1970s.

Older PVC cable insulation can deteriorate over time, with components of the plasticiser migrating out of the insulation. When this reacts with the copper conductors, it can produce the distinctive green, sticky residue.

⚠️ This is a sign of cable deterioration and should be properly assessed by a qualified electrician.

We recently came across this in a property that hadn’t been rewired since the 1960s. Given the age and condition of the installation, our recommendation was a full rewire rather than continuing to rely on deteriorating cabling.

🏠 Old wiring in your property?
⚡ Not sure when it was last rewired?
🔍 Seeing green residue around cables, switches or sockets?

⭐ 100+ FIVE-STAR REVIEWS! ⭐

Our testimonials really do say it all! A huge thank you to all our customers for choosing NHM Electrical and taking the time to leave us a review. ⚡

Here’s one of our recent 5-star reviews:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Nick is great. Great communication throughout full process. Arrived on time for quote which was very reasonable. Needed to install shower switch, bathroom lighting, outdoor porch light, and full house electrical inspection. Shower required a lot of work to sort and Nick had to go thru the walls and ceiling. He did a great job patching everything back up on top of electrical work which is perfectly sorted now. Provided and fitted outdoor porch light which is now bright, watertight, and looks great. Full inspection provided listing all aspects that we now need to address which has left us feeling safer now knowing where we stand and what needs addressed. Gave great advice and never felt like I was being sold work I didn’t need. Need work done still, and I now won’t use anyone else for any electrical work that is to come. Very friendly and easy to talk to, super professional. Highly recommended.”

100+ five-star reviews and counting! 🙌

Electrical safety is something many property owners overlook until a fault develops.

However, warning signs such as recurring RCD trips, damaged accessories, flickering lighting, or ageing electrical installations can indicate underlying issues that should be investigated.

Regular inspection and testing help ensure installations remain safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

At NHM Electrical, we work with homeowners, landlords, letting agents, and businesses across Ayrshire to identify potential issues before they become costly problems.

If you're unsure about the condition of your property's electrical installation, we're always happy to offer advice.

⚠️ Another fault-finding job solved in Ayrshire.

The customer was experiencing constant RCD tripping and couldn't work out why.

After investigating, we found the culprit – damp ingress into several socket back boxes. The moisture had caused extensive rust and corrosion inside the boxes, leading to electrical faults and repeated power interruptions.

Many electrical faults aren't visible on the surface, which is why proper testing is so important.

If your RCD keeps tripping or you're having unexplained electrical issues, get in touch with NHM Electrical.
