Fuse box tripping every time the kettle goes on. Half the sockets dead. Lights flickering in one room and nowhere else. Flicking the switch back on and hoping is tempting. It never lasts, because the trip is the safety device doing its job and something is causing it.
We find the real cause with calibrated meters and a methodical process, circuit by circuit, rather than swapping parts at your expense until something works. Anything dangerous is made safe on the spot. Then you get an explanation in plain English of what failed and why, with an honest fixed price to repair it and the fix is tested under load so you know the problem has actually gone.

Your questions, answered
How much does fault finding cost in St Helens?
Most UK electricians charge roughly £60 to £120 for the first hour of diagnosis and many faults are found inside it. Describe the fault on the phone and we will give you an honest idea, then confirm the price before we start.
Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
Usually a faulty appliance, a damaged cable or water in an outside socket or light. We test circuit by circuit to find which one rather than guessing and often the fault is something you would never have suspected.
Half my sockets have stopped working. Is that serious?
It is normally a broken connection on one circuit and very fixable. Loose connections make heat though, so do not leave it. We can usually trace and repair it in one visit.
Can you find a fault an appliance is causing?
Yes. A failing washing machine, oven element or immersion heater trips the board just like a wiring fault does. Part of the test is proving which it is, so you are not paying to rewire something that was never the problem.
