1. Can you fix a power cut in part of my house?
Yes. We can investigate both partial and complete power failures affecting individual rooms, sockets, or lighting circuits.
These issues are often caused by a tripped circuit breaker, damaged wiring, faulty sockets, or electrical faults within a specific circuit.
Our electrician will identify the cause safely and carry out the necessary repairs to restore power.
2. Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
A fuse box or consumer unit usually trips to protect your property from an electrical fault.
Common causes include faulty appliances, damaged wiring, overloaded circuits, or moisture affecting electrical components.
We can carry out electrical fault-finding tests to identify the cause and safely resolve the issue.
3. Can you replace sockets and light switches?
Yes. We replace damaged, worn, or outdated sockets and light switches.
If a socket is cracked, loose, discoloured, or showing signs of overheating, it should be inspected promptly.
We will safely isolate the circuit, replace the fitting, and ensure everything is operating correctly before restoring power.
4. Do you install new light fittings?
Yes. We install a wide range of internal and external light fittings.
Whether you are replacing an existing fitting or upgrading your lighting, we will ensure it is installed safely and securely in accordance with current electrical regulations.
5. Can you install extra plug sockets?
Yes. We can install additional plug sockets in convenient locations throughout your property.
Extra sockets can reduce the need for extension leads and improve the practicality of your home or workplace.
Before installation, we will assess the existing electrical circuit to ensure it can safely accommodate the additional load.
6. Is a flickering light dangerous?
It can be. While a flickering light may be caused by a loose bulb, it can also indicate faulty wiring, a damaged light fitting, or an overloaded circuit.
If the problem continues after replacing the bulb, the electrical system should be inspected.
We can diagnose the cause and carry out any necessary repairs.

Fault finding involves testing the electrical installation to pinpoint the source of the problem before recommending the most appropriate repair.

Yes. We can replace outdated, damaged, or faulty consumer units where appropriate.
A modern consumer unit can improve electrical safety by providing enhanced protection against faults, overloads, and electric shock risks.
We will assess your existing installation before recommending a replacement.
10. Do you provide emergency electrical repairs?
Yes. We provide emergency electrical repairs when urgent faults create a safety risk or leave part or all of your property without power.
