About this service

A tripping RCD or a circuit that dies at random is rarely random. With the right test equipment a fault can be narrowed down methodically instead of replacing parts and hoping.

I diagnose the cause, tell you what it is and what it will cost to put right, and carry common parts on the van so most faults are fixed on the same visit.

What's included

  • RCD and breaker tripping investigations
  • Dead sockets, lights and circuits
  • Burning smells, scorching and overheating
  • Intermittent and weather-related faults
  • Shower, cooker and immersion faults
  • Repairs completed and re-tested

Common questions

Can you come out today?
Often yes for urgent faults — call or WhatsApp and I'll tell you honestly when I can get to you.
Will you find it in an hour?
Most faults are located within the first hour. If it's more involved, I'll tell you before the clock keeps running.
How do you price a job?
Most work is a fixed price agreed before I start, based on a proper look at the job. Fault finding is charged at a clear diagnosis rate that I tell you up front.
Do I get a certificate for the work?
Yes. New circuits, consumer units, rewires and EV chargers are tested and certified, with the paperwork sent to you and notified where required.
Do you supply the materials and fittings?
I can supply quality trade materials at a fair price, or fit items you've bought yourself — whichever you prefer.
