What happens on the day
A structured diagnostic approach ensures electrical problems are isolated safely and resolved without guesswork. Here is how we carry out an investigative visit at your property.
- Initial assessment and symptom checksWe discuss what happened prior to the failure, note any tripping patterns, and inspect the consumer unit or distribution board. The affected circuit is safely isolated to ensure the rest of the installation remains safe.
- Instrument testing of the circuitUsing calibrated test equipment, we take insulation resistance, continuity, and earth fault loop impedance readings. These measurements highlight broken conductors, damaged insulation, or failing accessories along the run.
- Pinpointing the exact point of failureOnce tests narrow down the fault location, we access the specific switch, socket, junction, or cable section. Testing directly confirms the source of the issue rather than swapping out parts at random.
- Immediate repair or safe isolationIf the fault can be resolved during the initial visit, the repair is carried out and the circuit retested. If extensive replacement parts or further work are required, the circuit is left safe and a written quotation is provided.

WhatsAppHow is electrical fault finding priced?
Pricing is based on time spent on site diagnosing the issue. The initial charge covers instrument testing to locate the fault, while any replacement parts or extended remedial work are quoted separately before work continues.
Can most electrical faults be found during the first visit?
Many common issues, such as failed switches, loose wiring connections, or appliance faults, are identified during the initial testing period. If a concealed cable fault requires additional investigation or specialist access, we explain what was found before planning further work.
Will my entire property lose power while you test?
In most cases, we isolate only the specific circuit causing the problem, allowing the rest of the building to remain powered. If the consumer unit main switch needs to be turned off for testing, this is done briefly and planned around your needs.
Do you investigate faults in commercial premises?
Yes. We trace electrical faults in commercial and industrial settings as well as domestic homes. We work on single-phase and three-phase supplies across Wimborne Minster and surrounding areas.
What happens if a replacement part is needed?
If the fault is caused by a damaged socket, breaker, or switch that can be replaced immediately from van stock, we discuss it with you first. If a non-standard component is needed, we isolate the circuit safely and provide a written price for the return visit.
