Electrical Fault Finding in Southampton

Breaker keeps tripping? Sockets dead? We do methodical electrical fault finding across Southampton - insulation resistance testing, circuit splitting and appliance isolation to find the real cause instead of guessing.

What's involved

Most nuisance tripping comes down to moisture in an outdoor circuit, a failing immersion heater, an overloaded RCD shared by too many circuits, or a nail through a cable during DIY. Each has a different fix.

Burning smells, warm sockets and scorch marks are never worth waiting on. Isolate the circuit at the board and call us - we prioritise those.

Included as standard

  • Diagnostic testing to isolate the faulty circuit or appliance
  • Repairs completed on the first visit wherever parts allow
  • Written explanation of what caused the fault
  • Follow-up testing to confirm the circuit is safe
  • Emergency and out-of-hours attendance available

Common questions

Can you find the fault in one visit?

Almost always. We charge for the diagnostic time and then estimate the repair before doing it, so there are no surprises.

Do you attend out of hours?

Yes, we cover emergency call-outs across Southampton evenings and weekends.
