Electrical fault finding and repairs
A fault can come from wiring, an accessory, connected equipment or a combination of issues. Testing narrows down the cause so the repair is based on evidence rather than guesswork.
01When to enquire
Start with the property and the result you need.
- A breaker or RCD keeps tripping
- Sockets, lights or a circuit have stopped working
- Lighting flickers or a fault comes and goes
- An accessory feels warm, smells unusual or shows damage
02What to expect
A methodical route from enquiry to completion.
02
Isolate
Affected circuits and connected equipment are separated methodically.
03
Diagnose
Testing locates the likely cause and distinguishes the repair from unrelated issues.
04
Repair
The agreed repair is completed where practical and the circuit is tested before return to service.
03An important distinction
Repeated tripping needs investigation
Do not keep resetting a circuit that trips repeatedly. If there is heat, scorching, smoke or a burning smell, stop using the affected equipment; for smoke or fire, leave and call 999.

04Service questions
Before you decide what happens next.
Can every fault be fixed on the first visit?
No. Some are found quickly; intermittent faults or hidden wiring can need further testing, access or parts. The next step is explained as evidence develops.
Should I send a photo?
Yes. A consumer-unit photo, the affected accessory and any visible damage can make the first conversation more useful.
