Yes. The part that matters is the cable route and the protection back at the board — outdoor circuits need both specified for being outdoors, not extended from something inside. Done properly it lasts.

Regularly. The village has ironstone-era property at its core and several decades of estate housing around it, and the two need quite different approaches — one is about working around solid walls and original features, the other is usually about replacing tired 1960s and 70s circuits and an undersized board.

Intermittent faults are the ones people give up on, and they almost always have a physical cause — a loose connection heating up, a cable nicked by a screw, damp reaching a joint.
