Repairs and fault finding

Electrical repairs and fault finding

A safety switch that keeps tripping is telling you something. We find the circuit and the cause rather than resetting it and hoping.

What we do

Work we take care of

  • Tripping safety switches

    Isolating the circuit and the appliance or cabling causing the trip.

  • Dead power points and lights

    Tracing broken connections, failed accessories and damaged cabling.

  • Flickering and dimming lights

    Checking connections, drivers and shared circuits rather than swapping globes.

  • Burnt or damaged accessories

    Replacing switches, outlets and fittings showing heat damage, and checking why.

  • Storm and water damage

    Assessing circuits after water ingress and making the installation safe.

  • Pre-purchase safety checks

    A look over the switchboard, protection and visible wiring before you commit.

How we charge for fault finding

Fault finding is time-based work — nobody can quote a fixed price for a fault they have not seen yet. We explain the charging basis before we attend, and we confirm with you before continuing if the work is going to run longer than expected.

If the repair turns into a larger job, such as a switchboard upgrade or a rewire of a section, we stop and quote that separately so you can decide.

  • Charging basis explained before we attend
  • Cause identified, not just the symptom reset
  • Anything significant confirmed with you first
  • Larger follow-up work quoted in writing
