Find the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
Electrical faults can be frustrating and sometimes unsafe. My approach is to test methodically, isolate the affected circuit and identify the most likely root cause before recommending a repair.
Common Problems
I investigate domestic electrical faults ranging from obvious failures to intermittent issues.
- RCDs or breakers tripping
- Sockets or lights not working
- Partial loss of power

Electrical Faults I Investigate
If there is burning, visible damage, heat or a persistent electrical smell, switch off the affected circuit if it is safe to do so and call for advice.
- RCD or circuit breaker tripping
- Flickering or failed lighting circuits
- Sockets, switches or circuits losing power
- Outdoor electrics and water ingress
- Cooker, shower and fixed-appliance circuits
- Intermittent faults that come and go
How Electrical Fault Finding Works
1. Describe the Fault
Tell me what is happening, when it started and anything that changed beforehand. This helps focus the first checks.
2. Test & Diagnose
I carry out safe, systematic testing to narrow down the affected circuit and identify the cause.
3. Explain & Repair
I explain the findings clearly and, where practical, complete the agreed repair or quote for follow-up work.
When Electrics Keep Tripping
Repeated tripping is a protective response, not something to bypass. Causes can include damaged wiring, water ingress, earth leakage, a faulty appliance or an overloaded circuit. Resetting repeatedly without finding the cause can mask a problem, so arrange proper testing.
Electrical Fault-Finding Questions
Why does my RCD keep tripping?
Common causes include a faulty appliance, moisture, damaged wiring or leakage across one or more circuits. Testing is needed to narrow down the source safely.
Can you find intermittent electrical faults?
Yes, although intermittent faults can take longer to reproduce and diagnose. Details about when the fault occurs are often very helpful.
Will you explain the repair before doing it?
Yes. I explain what testing has found and agree the repair or next step with you before carrying out additional work.
Do you help landlords and letting agents?
Yes. I diagnose faults in rental properties and can provide a clear summary of the work completed.
