FAQ
Common questions.
- How much does fault finding cost?
- A minimum call-out covers the first hour of diagnostics — typically £90–£120 in Surrey and South West London. Once the fault is identified we quote a fixed price for the repair before starting.
- Can you attend today?
- For active faults we do our best to attend same-day or the next working morning.
- Why does my RCD keep tripping?
- Usually a faulty appliance, water ingress in an outdoor circuit, a damaged cable, or accumulated earth leakage across several circuits. Testing isolates which circuit is responsible rather than guessing.
- Why do my lights flicker or dim?
- Common causes are incompatible LED drivers and dimmers, a loose neutral connection, or a shared circuit under heavy load. A loose connection is a fire risk and should be checked promptly.
- I can smell burning near a socket — what should I do?
- Switch the circuit off at the consumer unit, unplug anything on it and call us. A burning smell usually means a loose terminal or overheating accessory and needs same-day attention.
- Do you charge if you can't find the fault?
- The diagnostic time is chargeable, but it rarely ends there — systematic testing identifies the fault in the vast majority of visits, and we explain exactly what we found.
