Fault finding

Fault finding

A tripped breaker, a power outage or a faulty socket. We check your wiring and find the cause.

Find the cause. Understand the fix.

Electrical problems are not always visible. An intermittent loss of power, a breaker that trips or a socket that stops working can have several causes. Fault finding starts with understanding what happens and when, then checking the affected installation systematically.

We explain what the checks reveal and discuss the next step before repair work begins. The aim is a clear diagnosis and a proportionate solution, not replacing parts without understanding the problem.

What’s included

Checks focused on the problem

Assessment of the reported fault, inspection of accessible wiring and accessories, and relevant testing of the affected circuit. Where practical, we separate installation issues from faults in connected equipment.

Clear findings and next steps

An explanation of the likely cause, the work recommended and any limitations caused by inaccessible wiring. Replacement parts and further repair work are agreed separately.

How it works

01 / Tell us what happens

Share which areas or devices are affected and whether the issue is constant or intermittent. Photos of the equipment can help us prepare.

02 / Inspect and diagnose

We inspect the installation and carry out appropriate checks. If more investigation is needed, we explain why before extending the scope.

03 / Agree the repair

You receive a practical recommendation and a price for the agreed work. After a repair, the affected installation is checked again.

Questions, answered

Can every fault be fixed during the first visit?

Some can, but hidden cable damage, unavailable parts or faults in appliances may require a follow-up visit or another specialist. We explain what is needed after diagnosis.

Does the diagnosis price include replacement parts?

The diagnostic visit and any repair work are scoped separately. Parts and additional investigation are quoted according to the findings.

Can you investigate an intermittent problem?

Yes. Details about when it happens are especially useful. Some intermittent faults require more observation or testing before the cause can be confirmed.

PLAN YOUR NEXT STEP

Quotation after assessment

The scope, materials and cost are agreed before work starts. Any changes are discussed before proceeding.

Discuss your project
