RK Electrical & Mechanical Services are pleased to confirm that, having recently installed a new up-to-date fire alarm system at a reputable Junior school in East Northants, we have now been commissioned to help with the next phase of improvements at the school and their three sister schools during the upcoming summer holidays.

The next project includes redecoration, repairs, and new flooring thus allowing the company to show our versatility as a construction company.

The Head of the Junior School said “it’s refreshing to know that RK electrical & mechanical Services can offer us very much a one stop shop, catering for all our requirements, with their impressive knowledge and wrap around service.  So, whether we need lighting, heating, general building or simple redecoration and small repairs, they are on hand to save us precious time and organisation, at a reasonable cost."

Electrical Safety First - Summer Safety

Make sure electric pumps don’t electrify the water

The risk of electric shock is higher when there’s water about. Incorrectly installed or damaged mains supplied pumps can result in injury or death to you, your family or even your fish.

A mains supplied electric water pump in the garden should be:

·       Good quality and bought from a well known retailer.

·       Protected by an RCD that is tested at least every 3 months.

·       Installed in accordance with manufacturers' instructions.

·       Provided with cables that are protected against accidental damage.

·       Maintained in good working order, including cables and any connections.

If there’s a problem, switch off the water pump's electrical supply immediately and have the pump repaired by a registered electrician.

Check the cables on mowers and other products - make sure cable is not twisted, like in the above picture, frayed or damaged!

Maintain flexible cables and connectors

If you do not check the condition of extension leads, cables and connections and use them correctly, you could get an electric shock.

To stay safe make sure they are: 

·       Suitable for outdoor use - weather-resistant with moulded connections              that prevent moisture seeping in.

·       Rated correctly to suit the equipment you want to connect to them.

·       Uncoiled, to prevent them from overheating.

·       Kept clean and free from damage.
