What is aluminum wiring and is it dangerous?
Aluminum branch circuit wiring installed in homes built between 1965–1973 is a documented fire hazard.

Remediation involves either pigtailing copper wire (£1,500–£3,000) or full rewire (£4,000–£9,000). Have a licensed electrician inspect your panel immediately if your home was built during this period under BS 7671 standards.

Replace your electrical panel in Cleethorpes immediately if breakers trip frequently, you smell burning plastic, the panel is under 200 amps, it contains Zinsco/Federal Pacific/Pushmatic brand breakers, or it's over 40 years old.
