After all the rain recently, it was nice to have a break in the weather today.

I took the opportunity to get the lawn cut and tidy the garden up a bit. It’s one of those jobs I genuinely enjoy doing.

Did anyone else make the most of the dry weather today?

Consumer unit replacement carried out locally recently.

One of those upgrades that makes a noticeable difference straight away.

If you are thinking about improving your garden lighting, a bit of planning makes a big difference.

Where the lights go, how they are controlled, and making sure everything is suitable for outdoor use all matter.

Done properly, it should work reliably without causing ongoing issues.

There is a simple guide here if you are planning or having problems:

Welcome to Kerdon Electrical Ltd.

I’m Chris, a local electrician based in Yaxley providing domestic electrical services across Peterborough and the surrounding villages.

I specialise in:
- Electrical fault finding
- Consumer unit upgrades
- Electrical inspections (EICRs)

alongside general domestic electrical work including lighting, sockets, smoke alarms and outdoor electrics.

A lot of the work I carry out involves helping homeowners diagnose electrical problems properly, whether that’s tripping electrics, loss of power, faulty outdoor lighting or older fuse boards that need upgrading.

My focus is always on providing reliable appointments, honest advice, tidy workmanship and clear communication from start to finish.

If you need advice or would like to arrange a visit, please feel free to get in touch.

Thanks,
Chris

Not all garden electrics are installed with long term reliability in mind.

Things like indoor fittings used outside, poorly sealed joints, or exposed connections can all lead to problems later on.

It is not always obvious just by looking, which is why faults can develop over time.

If you are unsure, having a local electrician check things over can help prevent bigger issues later.

If your electrics trip when you turn on your garden lights, it is usually a sign of a fault somewhere on that circuit.

Water getting into fittings or damage to cables are common causes.

Resetting it might get things working again temporarily, but it will usually come back.

A proper check helps identify the cause and get it sorted properly.

If you need a local electrician to take a look, feel free to get in touch.

Garden lighting is something a lot of homeowners start thinking about this time of year.

When it works well, you do not really have to think about it. When it doesn’t, it can be frustrating, especially if faults keep coming back.

As a local electrician, most issues I see are down to water getting in, ageing connections, or installations that were never quite suited for outdoor conditions.

I’ve put together a simple guide covering common problems, what to look out for, and how to avoid repeat faults.

Outdoor electrics have a much harder life than anything inside the house.

They are exposed to rain, frost, and movement in the ground, which slowly takes its toll on fittings and connections.

That is why problems with garden lighting can seem to come and go rather than fail all at once.

If something does not seem quite right, it is usually better to deal with it early before it turns into a bigger fault.

Garden lights not working is something I get called out to quite a bit this time of year.

In most cases it comes down to water getting into fittings, damaged cables, or connections that have deteriorated over time.

Sometimes the lights just stop working. Other times they cause the electrics in the house to trip.

If it keeps happening, it is usually worth getting it checked properly rather than replacing parts one by one.
