What happens on the day
Diagnostic visits follow a systematic procedure to find electrical faults efficiently without guesswork. Every step is explained plainly so you know the condition of your installation.
- Gathering initial symptomsThe visit starts by reviewing what happened, which breakers tripped, and which parts of the building lost power. Photos of the consumer unit and problem area help clarify details.
- Circuit isolation and testingThe consumer unit and affected circuits are isolated. Specialised test instruments check insulation resistance, loop impedance, and circuit continuity across all conductors.
- Pinpointing the defectReadings isolate the specific point of failure, whether inside a consumer unit, behind a socket plate, within an accessory, or along an obscured run of cabling.
- Immediate repair or quotationMinor defects are rectified during the visit using replacement switches, sockets, or circuit breakers. More involved repairs or upgrades receive a written price for approval.

WhatsAppWhat should be done if a circuit breaker keeps tripping?
Turn off or unplug appliances on that circuit and reset the switch at the consumer unit. If it resets and holds, plug items back in one at a time to identify which item triggers the trip. If the switch drops immediately with nothing plugged in, use Book Now to arrange an inspection.
How quickly can an electrical fault be found?
Most electrical faults can be isolated within an initial diagnostic visit through systematic circuit testing. Complex wiring defects, concealed damage, or intermittent issues may require additional tracing across the installation.
Can faults be repaired on the same visit?
Common issues such as failed sockets, switches, light fittings, or standard circuit breakers can usually be replaced during the visit using carried stock. If specialist parts or extensive cabling are needed, a written quotation is supplied before work proceeds.
What causes lights to flicker in a property?
Flickering lights typically point to loose connections at switch terminals, ceiling roses, or the consumer unit, or failing dimmer units. Because loose electrical terminations generate heat, having the circuit investigated promptly prevents further damage.
Is a burning smell from an electrical switch or socket dangerous?
Yes. A burning smell or visible discolouration indicates severe overheating at a termination or component. Turn off the circuit breaker for that circuit at the fuse board immediately and use Book Now to schedule an inspection.
