Electrical Fault Finding in Luton

Common faults include a trip switch that will not stay on and lights that flicker or buzz. Some sockets or whole rooms may have no power.

Warm or scorched sockets, a burning smell and a buzzing fuse board are more serious. If you notice any of these, stop using that circuit and call us on 07898 232710.

A trip switch cuts the power when it senses a fault. Common causes are a faulty appliance, water getting into a socket or light, or a damaged cable.

Try this first: unplug everything on that circuit and reset the switch. If it stays on, plug items back in one at a time. If it still trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is in the wiring and needs an electrician.

Our electrician asks what happened and when, then tests each circuit with proper test equipment. This narrows the fault down to one cable, socket, light or appliance.

Simple faults, like a loose connection or a failed socket, can often be fixed on the same visit. The circuit is tested again before we leave, so you know the fix has worked.

Sometimes one fault is a sign of wider wear, such as old rubber cable breaking down. We explain what we found in plain words and give you a clear price before any more work.

If the wiring is old, an EICR shows the state of the whole installation, not just one circuit.
