Fault finding
Resetting a breaker might get the lights back on, but it doesn't fix the cause. Our electricians use proper test equipment and a step-by-step approach to trace every fault back to its source, so the repair lasts.
Signs: The RCD trips at random, when it rains, or when one particular appliance is switched on.
Signs: A breaker trips the moment you reset it, or there's a bang or flash from a socket or fitting.
Signs: Some sockets are dead while others work, or sockets cut in and out.
Signs: Burning or fishy smells, scorch marks, warm faceplates or a buzzing fuse box.
Signs: A tingle from a tap or appliance, or a shock from metalwork in your home.
Signs: Lights that flicker or dim, appliances cutting out, or a fault that comes and goes.
Before working on any circuit we prove it is dead with an approved voltage indicator, so the job is safe for you and for us.
