A one-day introductory workshop to help learn the first principles of DIY electrics in the home.

This short home electrics workshop covers the most common requests that homeowners, landlords and tenants want to know more about in their homes. Explained in simple terminology, and with practice on fiddly -but unplugged in – electrical fittings, learners can leave feeling less wary about this familiar but invisible energy and confident about safely tackling the essential electrics at home, without requiring any ‘Part P’ certification.

First principles are explained in a clear and simple way, without complicated formulas or equations.

Learn how to assemble a simple lighting circuit with an inline switch, using inexpensive hand tools. This forms the basis of understanding how the wiring behind your switch plates and ceiling roses fit together.

See how to test and avoid faulty wiring when performing simple repairs at home. Look under the ‘bonnet’ of your consumer unit (Fuse box) and understand what it’s connected to and how to turn the supply off and on. Understand the basic wiring system in your home.

Practice changing switches to dimmers, look behind socket plates and understand how to change ceiling pendants.

Stay safe in your home by finding out what you can and can’t do yourself without any certification.
