Electrical Issues

Very few electrical issues have been highlighted as maintenance problems. It is important to know where the mains board and RCD switches are located and how the basic operation is undertaken. Repairs should only be undertaken by a competent electrician. 

The electrical fans in bathrooms should be regularly checked to prevent a build-up of dust. This will hamper the operation, increase the risk of condensation, and in extreme cases can lead to a fire risk as well as increasing the noise fans make. Fans can be routinely cleaned by simply holding a hoover nozzle close to the fan in most cases, but do not attempt to remove the cover, or clean it inside. In bad cases, an electrician may be required to disassemble and clean fans thoroughly.  

Be aware that ceiling heating panels are used in Hooper Square. Any modification to existing lights, or modification of any kind must be undertaken very carefully. The panels are effectively plastic sheets, with a copper element at the sides. If damaged, there is little possibility of repair, and replacement entails removal of the entire ceiling.
