FAQs

Do you provide electrical fault finding for homes?

Yes. We provide electrical fault finding for domestic properties, including houses, flats, rental homes, garages and outbuildings. If lights are flickering, sockets are not working or power keeps tripping, we can investigate the issue safely.

Do you provide electrical fault finding for commercial premises?

Yes. We carry out electrical fault finding for offices, shops, warehouses, workshops, restaurants, communal areas, rental properties, and other commercial premises. We can help identify faults that are affecting power, lighting, sockets, equipment, consumer units, distribution boards, or circuits. Contact us to arrange a visit to your premises.

Why does my power keep tripping?

Power can trip because of a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, overloaded circuits, moisture, a faulty accessory or a consumer unit issue. We test the installation to narrow down the cause before recommending the safest repair.

Can you find intermittent electrical faults?

Yes. Intermittent faults can take longer to trace because they may only happen under certain conditions. We use testing, inspection and practical checks to identify likely causes and explain the next step clearly.

What are common signs of an electrical fault at home?

Common signs include flickering lights, buzzing switches, sockets that stop working, frequent tripping, burning smells, warm sockets, damaged fittings, or power cutting out in certain areas. If you notice any of these issues, it is best to stop using the affected circuit or appliance and contact a qualified electrician.

Is electrical fault finding dangerous to do myself?

Yes. Electrical faults can involve live parts, damaged wiring or overheating equipment. Do not remove covers or attempt repairs yourself. Switch off anything unsafe and contact a qualified electrician.

What are common signs of an electrical fault in a business?

Common commercial electrical faults include tripping circuits, failed lighting, loss of power to sockets, faulty emergency lighting, damaged accessories, equipment causing power issues, overheating, nuisance tripping, or faults affecting part of the building. Get in touch and we can help diagnose the problem and recommend the right repair.

Can you repair the fault once you find it?

In many cases, yes. Once the fault has been traced, we will explain what needs repairing and whether it can be completed during the same visit or requires further parts or planned work.

Why do my lights keep flickering?

Flickering lights can be caused by loose connections, faulty fittings, damaged wiring, overloaded circuits, or issues with the switch or lighting circuit. If the problem is ongoing or affects multiple lights, contact us to arrange fault finding before the issue becomes more serious.

Why are some sockets not working?

Sockets may stop working because of a tripped circuit, loose connection, damaged socket, faulty wiring, overloaded circuit, or a fault elsewhere on the ring or radial circuit. We can test the circuit, identify the cause, and carry out any necessary repairs.

Can a faulty appliance cause my electrics to trip?

Yes. Faulty appliances are a common cause of tripping, especially kettles, ovens, washing machines, dishwashers, outdoor equipment, heaters, and extension leads. We can help identify whether the problem is with an appliance, socket, circuit, or consumer unit.

How long does electrical fault finding take?

The time needed depends on the type of fault, how often it occurs, access to wiring, and whether the issue is affecting a single circuit or multiple areas. Some faults can be found quickly, while others require more detailed testing. Contact us and we can explain what to expect based on your issue.

Do you provide reports after fault finding?

Where required, we can provide details of the fault found, the testing carried out, and any recommended repairs. This can be useful for landlords, businesses, property managers, insurers, and homeowners who want a clear record of the issue.
