Electrical Problems We Deal With Every Day
If something’s wrong with your electrics, don’t ignore it. Some faults are minor — others are a sign of something more serious that needs proper attention.
🔴 Burning Smell or Scorching
A burning smell from sockets, switches or the consumer unit is a potential fire risk. Call immediately — don’t leave it.
🔴 Sparking Sockets or Switches
Visible sparks when plugging in or switching on are a sign of a loose connection or damaged wiring that needs immediate attention.
RCD Keeps Tripping
An RCD that trips repeatedly is protecting you from a fault. We find the cause — a faulty appliance, wiring fault or deteriorating circuit — and fix it properly.
Circuit Breaker Tripping
A breaker that keeps tripping on a specific circuit usually indicates an overload, short circuit or earth fault on that circuit.
Faulty or Dead Sockets
Sockets that don’t work, feel warm or are discoloured may have a loose connection or damaged wiring behind them.
Flickering or Intermittent Lights
Flickering lights are often a loose connection in the fitting, switch or wiring — or occasionally a sign of a more significant wiring issue.
Complete Loss of Power
If you’ve lost power to part or all of your home and it’s not a supply issue, there’s likely a fault that needs tracing before power can be safely restored.
Intermittent Faults
Problems that come and go are often the hardest to diagnose — loose connections, poor earthing or deteriorating insulation can all cause intermittent issues.
Failed EICR — Remedial Works
If your Electrical Installation Condition Report has identified C1 or C2 defects, we carry out the remedial works and issue the completion certificate.
