How fault finding works
The electrician tests your circuits one at a time to narrow down where the fault is: an appliance, an accessory, a junction box or the cable itself. Once it's found, you'll get a clear explanation and a price for the repair before anything else is done.
Common problems
- RCD or breaker tripping for no obvious reason
- A circuit that's gone dead
- Lights flickering or dimming
- Intermittent faults that come and go
- Sockets that have stopped working
