## Electrical Fault Finding and Repair in Sutton

When a fuse board trips, a socket dies or lights flicker in Sutton, TMB Electrics traces that Electrical Fault Finding and Repair job and repairs the failed circuit.

### A tripping fuse board

We test the circuit that keeps tripping on your fuse board, the consumer unit, and find the fault before we repair it.

### Dead lights or sockets

A light, switch or socket that has stopped working in Sutton is traced from the board to the failed part.

### Landlord electrical faults

A tenant report of a trip, shock or dead circuit in a Sutton rental is traced, repaired and documented for the landlord.

### A shop or office circuit down

When a Sutton shop or office loses power on one circuit, we plan the visit around the premises and find the fault.

### A shower that trips the board

When the shower in a Sutton house trips the board, we find whether the fault is the shower, the circuit or the board.

## Sutton housing and what it means for fault finding

The house type in Sutton changes how a fault is traced, from staged rewires near the centre to shared supplies above the shops.

### Victorian and Edwardian semis near the centre

Victorian and Edwardian semis near Sutton town centre have often been rewired in stages, so tracing follows both older cable and later additions.

### Flats above the High Street and Cheam Road

Flats above the High Street and Cheam Road shops sit on shared supplies and need regular landlord certificates, so we check whether the fault is in the flat or on the shared supply.

### Arts and Crafts houses in the Sutton Garden Suburb

Arts and Crafts houses in the Sutton Garden Suburb have cable runs planned around the building, so tracing and any replacement cable follow that building.

### 1930s houses in West Sutton and Sutton Common

1930s houses through West Sutton and Sutton Common were built with fewer sockets than people now use, so tracing includes the extra sockets and the original circuits that feed them.

### Belmont, Benhilton, Rosehill and Carshalton Road

TMB Electrics also traces electrical faults in Belmont, Benhilton, Rosehill and along Carshalton Road for homeowners, landlords and businesses.

## What happens on a Sutton fault finding visit

TMB Electrics arrives at the Sutton address, traces the failed circuit, then repairs it and leaves the tests and documents the job requires.

### Arrival at the Sutton property

We start at the consumer unit and the circuit that has failed, then we look at the rooms already showing the problem.

### Tracing the failed circuit

We test along that circuit until we find the failed fitting, joint or cable, then we explain what we found.

### Repair, testing and documents

We repair the fault, test the circuit, and leave the documentation the work requires.
