When electrical problems occur, my fault finding and rectification service quickly identifies and resolves the issue, restoring safety and functionality.

I diagnose a wide range of electrical faults using specialised testing equipment and systematic problem-solving approaches. Common issues I address include circuit breakers that keep tripping, intermittent power outages, partial power loss, flickering lights, unusual buzzing sounds, and hot spots in electrical installations.

My methodical approach includes visual inspections, advanced electrical testing, thermal imaging where appropriate, and systematic circuit isolation to efficiently locate problems without unnecessary disruption or damage to your property.

Once identified, I'll explain the issue in clear, non-technical language and provide cost-effective solution options. I carry commonly needed parts and materials to enable immediate repairs in most cases, getting your electrical system back to safe working order with minimal delay.

Fault Finding and Rectification: common questions

Unplug everything on the affected circuit, reset the switch, then plug items back in one at a time. If one appliance trips it, that appliance is the likely cause. If it trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is in the wiring or a fixed item and needs testing. Do not keep resetting a switch that trips straight away.

Fault finding is charged by the hour because the time depends on the fault. My standard rate is £100 plus VAT per hour on weekdays between 8am and 6pm. Evening, night and weekend rates are on the pricing page.

Treat a burning smell, scorch marks, buzzing from the consumer unit or a socket that is hot to touch as urgent. Switch off at the main switch if it is safe to do so and call me. If the whole street has lost power, call 105 for the network operator instead.
