🔌 3 Must-Know Rules for Leicester Homes
1.✅ Dedicated Circuit Required
- By law, your cooker needs its own wiring (no sharing with other appliances)
- We use 6mm or 10mm cables (Leicester homes often need upgrades)
2.✅ RCD Protection is Essential
- Prevents electric shocks (required by UK law)
- We test this on every Leicester installation
3.✅ Proper Cooker Switch Needed
- Must be within 2m of your appliance
- Never hidden behind the oven (common issue we fix)
⚠️ Danger Signs Your Leicester Installation is Unsafe

- Burning smells from your oven/hob
