Fault Finding & Repairs
Lights flickering? Fuse box trips every time the kettle goes on? Resetting it and hoping is tempting. The right answer is proper testing that tracks the fault down to the exact circuit, fitting or cable.
Damp sea air on the Island is hard on outside lights and sockets, so that is often where we look first. We make anything dangerous safe straight away and explain what we found in plain words, with a fixed price to fix it.

Fault finding questions, answered
How much does fault finding cost?
Most fault finding visits on the Isle of Wight cost £80 to £200, based on how long the fault takes to trace. Parts and repairs are extra. Tell us about the fault on the phone and we will confirm the price before we start.
Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
Most often it is a faulty appliance, damp in an outside light or socket, or a damaged cable. We test circuit by circuit to find which one, rather than guess.
Why are my lights flickering?
It can be a loose joint, a worn switch or a problem with the supply. We test step by step to find it. Don't leave it, as loose joints get hot.
How quickly can you get to me?
We keep time free for faults and anything dangerous goes first. Call us and we will give you an honest time.
