Fault Finding & Repairs
- Electrical fault finding and diagnostics
- Electrical repairs and remedial works

What's happening?
It can be an overload, a faulty appliance or a fault in the wiring. Testing finds which.
Note what was running when it tripped. We test the circuit and its protective device, trace the fault to its source and explain what we find.
Smell burning? Switch off at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so and keep away from the area. If there is a fire or immediate danger, call 999.
Making safe
- Isolating the faulty circuit
- Checking nothing else is affected
- Advising what can safely stay in use
- Taking steps to prevent further damage

Safe now, repair later
Where a full repair needs parts or a longer visit, we make the circuit safe and agree the next step.
Repair on the day
Where the fault is clear and parts are to hand, we fix it properly in one visit.
Follow-up inspection
If a fault suggests a wider problem, we may recommend an inspection of the installation.
Switch off at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so and keep away from the area. If there is a fire or immediate danger, call 999.
