Family-run since 1995 Three generations in the trade, one accountable team of two. Overview ## A clear, honestexplanation. What the service is, who it's for, when it's needed, and why professional work matters. What it is Repair and maintenance covers everything from single-fault callouts to full planned and reactive maintenance contracts for commercial premises. Every repair is diagnosed using proper test equipment, fixed to 18th Edition, and left with a certificate where required. Who it's for Homeowners with a tripping RCD or a dead circuit, landlords needing quick remedials, facilities managers running commercial premises, and businesses wanting priority response contracts. When you need it When lights flicker or fail, sockets stop working, an RCD keeps tripping, a fuse board smells hot, an appliance won't run, an extractor's failed, or a commercial premises needs planned upkeep to avoid unplanned downtime. Why it matters Guesswork repairs make the next fault more expensive to find. Proper diagnostic testing, insulation resistance, continuity, RCD trip time, earth-loop impedance, isolates the actual cause and lets you fix the actual problem, not just the symptom. The risk ## What ignoring electrical faults actually costs Electrical faults compound. A warm socket becomes a scorched socket becomes wiring damage becomes a rewired ring. A tripping RCD is a warning that something is wrong, and 'just resetting it' is the wrong answer. ### What can go wrong - Fire risk from arcing, loose terminals, damaged insulation and overloaded circuits. - Shock risk from broken earth continuity or an RCD that's genuinely faulty. - Appliance damage, brown-outs and unstable supplies wreck electronics quietly over weeks. - Insurance issues, undocumented DIY repairs are commonly used to reject household or commercial claims. - Business downtime, commercial faults ignored become mid-afternoon shutdowns during trading. ### Common mistakes - Repeatedly resetting a tripping RCD instead of diagnosing what's tripping it. - Replacing 'the fuse' without understanding why it went in the first place. - Booking cash-in-hand fixes with no certificate and no accountability. - Assuming a burning smell will 'go away on its own'. It won't. Our process ## A clear, step-by-stepsystem, start to finish. - 01 ### Call & triage Ring 07904 800397.

In detail ## Repair & maintenance work in detail Repair and maintenance is the widest-scope area of any electrical firm, the faults themselves vary enormously, and the diagnostic skill is what separates a proper contractor from a chancer. ### RCD & breaker fault finding Nuisance tripping isolated to circuit, appliance or accessory using insulation-resistance and leakage testing, not by swapping breakers hopefully. ### Dead socket & circuit repairs Continuity testing, back-box inspection, ring-final integrity checks, spur repairs and re-terminations. ### Burnt or scorched accessories Damaged sockets, switches and connectors replaced, upstream cabling inspected for heat damage, terminations remade with proper torque. ### Consumer unit repairs & upgrades Failed RCDs and RCBOs replaced, over-crowded boards rewired properly, or full 18th Edition consumer unit replacement (see consumer units page). ### Lighting circuit repairs Failed downlights, transformer failures, dimmer compatibility, two-way switching issues and MCB tripping on lighting circuits. ### Shower & cooker circuit repairs Electric shower failures, tripping cooker circuits, correctly sized cable replacements and isolator upgrades. ### Fault finding for landlords Fast diagnosis and repair for tenanted properties, with certificates suitable for letting agents. ### Planned commercial maintenance Scheduled inspections, lighting sweep-outs, remedials from EICRs, and general electrical upkeep on contract. ### Reactive commercial maintenance Priority response arrangements; you get to the front of the queue when things fail during trading. Residential Household faults are usually single-circuit and diagnosable within one visit. Payment terms are 14 days from invoice. Commercial Commercial faults often involve isolation coordination, permits and out-of-hours works. Payment terms are 30 days. RAMS available on request. FAQs ## Straight answers,before you ring.
