Electrical fault finding and repair

Most electrical faults look alike from the outside: a circuit goes dead, a breaker trips or the lights flicker. A proper repair starts with finding the real cause.

How I work

• You tell me what happened and we work out which circuits are affected.
• I check the panel, the circuit and its connection points with test equipment.
• I explain what I found and how to fix it, and agree the price before starting.
• After the repair I test the circuit again and check it with you.

How long does it take?

Simple faults are usually fixed in 30 minutes to 2 hours. If something bigger turns up, such as a damaged cable inside a wall, we talk through what is needed and how long it may take first.

For your safety

If you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparks or a hot socket, switch that circuit off at the breaker if it is safe to do so, and don't touch anything. If there is smoke or fire, call 112 first.
