Fault Finding & Repairs
Fuse box tripping every time the kettle goes on? Half the sockets dead? Resetting it and hoping is tempting. The right answer is proper testing that tracks the fault to the exact circuit, fitting or cable causing it.
Damp is a common culprit in this part of Gloucestershire: an outside socket, a garage light or a garden supply that has taken water is behind a lot of the tripping we get called to. We test with calibrated equipment, make anything dangerous safe straight away and explain what we have found in plain English, with a fixed price to fix it.

Fault finding questions, answered
How much does fault finding cost?
Most domestic fault finding in the UK costs about £80 to £250, depending on how long the fault takes to trace and whether the repair is simple. Describe it on the phone and we will give you an honest idea, then confirm the price before we start. There is no call-out fee.
Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
Usually a faulty appliance, water in an outside fitting or a damaged cable. We test circuit by circuit to find exactly which, rather than guessing. That tripping switch is doing its job.
Half my sockets have stopped working. Is that serious?
It is normally a broken connection on one circuit and very fixable. Loose connections make heat though, so do not leave it. We can usually trace and repair it in one visit.
How quickly can you get to me?
We keep space in the diary for faults and urgent jobs. Anything that sounds dangerous goes first. Call and you will get an honest arrival time.
