Fault finding and repairs

Most faults are small and quick to fix once you know where to look. We test circuit by circuit until we find the cause, then fix it properly rather than just resetting the trip.

Typical price
from £85 first hour
Usually takes
1-3 hours
Fault finding and repairs
What is included

We carry the common parts in the van, so nine times out of ten the repair happens on the same visit. If a part needs ordering, you get a fixed price for the return trip before we leave.

You pay for the time on site in half hours after the first hour. No call-out surcharge in office hours.

  • Circuit by circuit testing
  • Repair or replacement of faulty switches, sockets and fittings
  • Common parts carried on the van
  • Written note of what we found
Questions we get
My trip switch keeps going off. Is it dangerous?

It is doing its job: something on that circuit is faulty. Leave it off and call us. Do not keep resetting it.

Do you charge if you cannot find the fault?

You pay for the time we spend testing, and you get a written note of everything we ruled out. It is rare that we leave without an answer.
