Electrical fault finding
Tripping breakers, dead circuits or flickering lights — we find the actual cause, not just reset it and hope.
About this job
Fault finding is detective work: we test insulation resistance, earth continuity and load systematically to isolate whether the problem is an appliance, a fitting or the wiring itself. You'll get a plain-English explanation of what failed and a fixed price for the repair before we do it. Intermittent faults that come and go are a speciality — they need patience and method, and we bring both.
What's included
- ✔Systematic circuit testing with calibrated instruments
- ✔Isolation of the faulty section, fitting or appliance
