Fire damaged electrical repairs: questions and answers
Can fire damage extend beyond the visibly burnt fitting?
Yes. Heat and contamination can affect nearby cables and equipment. Agree the inspection area before treating a visible component replacement as the whole repair.
Can undamaged-looking wiring near a fire be retained?
That depends on inspection and testing. Heat exposure can affect insulation without obvious external damage, so proximity and the extent of the fire matter.
What affects the quotation for fire damaged electrical repairs?
The extent of damage, safe access, isolation and replacement equipment determine the repair scope. A quotation should confirm the agreed investigation, repair and testing before work is arranged.
