Fault finding

The socket that only works on Tuesdays. The trip that goes at 3am. The light that flickers when next door boils the kettle. Matthew lives for this sort of mystery.

What customers say about this work

We use Matt for all of our electrical needs and he is faultless. Would not hesitate to recommend to all of our clients.

Typical job
Most faults traced on the first visit
You get
The fault fixed, the cause explained, and a check for knock-on damage
Common ones
Tripping RCDs, dead sockets, buzzing, burning smells
If it is nothing
We will tell you that too, and not charge you for work you do not need

Electrical faults require detective work: methodical, process-of-elimination testing until the culprit is found. In 25 years Matthew has found cables nailed through under floorboards, sockets terminated so badly they caught fire, and wiring chewed by carpenters, rodents and one particularly determined puppy.

What you get is the fault found and fixed, an honest explanation of what caused it, and a check that it has not damaged anything else on the way. What you do not get is a shrug and an invoice for looking.

What it covers

  • Tripping RCDs and breakers traced properly
  • Dead circuits, sockets and lights
  • Burning smells and buzzing investigated fast
  • Intermittent faults hunted down patiently
