Electrical Fault Diagnosis

Frequent tripping, flickering lights, burning smells, or dead sockets are all warning signs that should never be ignored. My electrical fault diagnosis service finds the real cause of the problem, fixes it safely, and helps prevent it coming back.

With over 15 years of hands‑on experience and professional test gear from Megger and Fluke, I methodically track faults rather than guessing. I check the affected circuits, test insulation resistance and earth paths, and inspect accessories and connections for overheating, damage, or wear. This approach avoids unnecessary part swapping and focuses on the actual defect - whether that is a loose connection, damaged cable, faulty accessory, or an issue in the consumer unit.

Once I have identified the fault, I explain the findings in clear, plain language and agree the repair with you before carrying it out. Where possible, I make safe temporary repairs if a full fix needs more time or parts, so you are not left without essential power or lighting.

This service is suitable for everything from nuisance RCD trips and intermittent faults to complete loss of power on a circuit. If the diagnosis uncovers a wider issue - such as ageing wiring or an overloaded system - I will set out sensible options, from minor upgrades to partial rewiring, always focusing on safety and value.

You are left with a properly tested installation, a clear explanation of what went wrong, and the reassurance that the fault has been dealt with correctly, not just patched up for now.
