Who books electrical fault finding
People call MX2 Electrical when power fails, a breaker will not stay on, or something smells hot. The work covers houses, shops, workshops and industrial buildings from Poole and Bournemouth through Dorset, south Wiltshire and west Hampshire.
- A home with a trip that will not resetHouseholders book us when lights die, sockets go dead or a breaker keeps snapping off. We test the circuit, find the weak point and restore power where a repair on the visit is possible.
- A landlord after a tenant reports a smell or dead socketLettings in Poole, Parkstone, Canford Heath and Bournemouth often start with a tenant message. We attend the property, make the circuit safe and tell you what still needs doing.
- A shop or workshop that loses a circuit mid dayRetail and small commercial sites around Christchurch, Wimborne Minster and Ferndown book us when a lighting or power circuit fails during trading. We isolate the fault so the rest of the building can stay in use.
- A plant room or three phase circuit that has stoppedFactories and industrial units call when a motor, heater or three phase board drops out. We trace the fault on that circuit and repair it where time and parts allow.
What happens on the day
An MX2 Electrical electrician arrives at the property, works through the failed circuit, then either repairs it or leaves you with a written price for what remains.
- Arrival and the symptomsWe walk the rooms or plant space with you, note which lights, sockets or machines failed, and isolate the circuit so the rest of the building stays safe.
- Tests on the failed circuitWe test the wiring, accessories and protective devices on that circuit. The aim is a cause on the visit, or a clear stop point if the trail needs more time.
- Repair or a written priceWhere a repair is possible we complete it and restore the circuit. Where it is not, you leave with the circuit made safe and a written price for the remaining work.

WhatsAppHow much does electrical fault finding cost?
Electrical fault finding and repairs start at £70 per hour. That is a starting price for time on site, not a set fee for every fault.
Can you find the fault on the first visit?
Many trips, dead sockets and failed accessories show up in the first round of tests. Hidden wiring faults can need a second visit, and we say so before we leave.
Do you work on shops and factories as well as houses?
Yes. MX2 Electrical traces faults in homes, commercial premises and industrial buildings across Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wimborne Minster and the wider Dorset, south Wiltshire and west Hampshire patch.
What if you cannot finish the repair on the day?
We make the circuit safe, tell you what we found, and give a written price for the remaining work. No further work starts until you accept that price.
Are you NAPIT registered?
Yes. MX2 Electrical is NAPIT registered for the electrical work we carry out.
