Power tripping or faulty wiring? Our electricians can help.

Repeated tripping needs prompt attention, especially if there's a burning smell, heat or sparking. Don't keep resetting the breaker. Call so we can assess the fault.

Yes. Damaged wiring and poor connections can overheat. Burning smells, scorch marks or hot plug points need urgent attention. Stop using the affected circuit and call .

Turn off the main switch only if you can reach it safely without approaching smoke, sparks or excessive heat. Otherwise, keep clear. Call immediately and leave the power off until the board has been checked.

Stop using it. If safe, switch off the affected circuit at the DB board before disconnecting the appliance. Don't touch a hot, damaged or sparking socket. Have it checked before using it again.

Any work done outside normal hours may cost more. Contact us to confirm the charges for your call-out.

A tripped breaker or earth leakage device may have cut power to the affected circuit. A wiring fault or loose connection is another possibility. If a breaker trips again after being reset, leave it off and arrange an inspection.

An overloaded circuit, faulty appliance, damaged wiring or moisture could be causing it. If the tripping continues after appliances on that circuit have been unplugged, leave the circuit off and call us to investigate.

Water may be getting into an outdoor light, plug point, gate motor or pool pump. A roof leak reaching electrical equipment can cause the same problem. Leave the affected circuit off until the source has been found and repaired.

Possible causes include a failing bulb, loose connection, incompatible LED dimmer or fluctuating supply voltage. If lights throughout the house flicker together, the problem may be at the main connection or on the incoming supply.

Damaged wiring, overloaded circuits, moisture, faulty appliances and power surges are common causes.

We test the affected circuits, wiring and connected equipment to locate the source of the problem.

A straightforward fault may be found quickly, while intermittent problems or faults in larger installations take longer. The time needed depends on the symptoms and access to the affected wiring and equipment.

Voltage fluctuations or surges when power returns can trip protective devices and damage appliances. Surge protection at the DB board can help reduce the risk.

An electrical Certificate of Compliance records that the installation covered by the certificate met the applicable safety requirements when inspected and tested. You need a valid CoC when transferring ownership of a property. Additions and alterations also require certification.

An electrical CoC does not automatically expire after 2 years. It must, however, be no older than 2 years when ownership of the property changes. Any later additions or alterations need their own certification.

That depends on the repair. If it involves an addition or alteration to the installation, the work must be certified. We'll explain what is required for your job.

We carry out full and partial rewiring, as well as new installations, with a CoC covering the completed work.

We assess the existing board and update the components required, which may include breakers, earth leakage protection and circuit labelling. Surge protection can be added where needed. The power will be off during the work, and the completed alterations will be certified.
