Signs You Need an Electrical Fault Finding Electrician
- the RCD or circuit breakers keep tripping, sometimes at random
- sockets, lights or whole circuits have stopped working
- lights flicker, dim or buzz
- a burning smell, scorch marks or warm sockets and switches
- mild electric shocks from appliances, taps or metalwork
- a fault recorded on your EICR that needs further investigation
If you notice burning, smoke or sparking, switch off the power at the consumer unit if it is safe to do so and do not use the circuit until it has been checked.
Common Causes of Electrical Faults
| Symptom | Common causes |
|---|---|
| RCD keeps tripping | Faulty appliance, moisture in outdoor sockets or lights, damaged cables, earth leakage |
| Circuit breaker trips | Overloaded circuit, short circuit, faulty appliance or damaged wiring |
| Dead sockets or lights | Loose connections, failed accessories, tripped devices or broken cables |
| Flickering lights | Loose terminals, incompatible LED lamps or dimmers, or a supply issue |
| Hot or scorched sockets | Loose connections, overloaded adaptors or worn accessories |
How We Trace Electrical Faults
- Listen and inspect: we ask when the fault happens and carry out a visual check of the consumer unit, accessories and appliances.
- Isolate the problem: we split the installation into circuits and sections to narrow down where the fault is.
- Test: we use calibrated test equipment for insulation resistance, continuity, polarity and RCD operation to pinpoint the cause.
- Explain and fix: we tell you what we found and, where possible, carry out the repair on the same visit, or give a clear quote.
How Much Does Electrical Fault Finding Cost in London?
Our electrical fault finding service starts from £94.99, as shown above. Most faults are found within the first visit. The final cost of any repair depends on what is causing the problem and the parts needed, and we always explain this before carrying out further work.
