This week in 'Becoming an Electrician' we explore some of the electrical faults that can be found mainly due to old practises. Common on electrical installs in the UK before 1950.

If you have an old property, or are thinking of buying one, it would be good to look out for these.
If your an electrician, how common are they in the area you operate?
