How do we find and fix electrical faults?

We find electrical faults by testing circuits one at a time until the cause is isolated, rather than guessing and replacing parts. A typical fault-finding visit follows these steps:

  1. Ask about the symptoms. When the fault happens, what trips and what was plugged in all help narrow it down.
  2. Isolate safely. We make the affected circuits safe before any testing begins.
  3. Test the circuits. Insulation resistance and continuity tests show which circuit, accessory or appliance is causing the problem.
  4. Repair and retest. We fix the fault, retest the circuit and explain what we found.

What electrical checks do landlords need?

Private landlords in England must have the fixed electrical installation in a rental property inspected and tested at least every five years. We carry out EICR testing in Birmingham for landlords and letting agents and can complete any remedial work. Our guide to landlord electrical safety rules sets out every deadline.

“Sam recently upgraded my consumer unit and installed a MyEnergi Zappi charger, including some integration work with my existing solar setup and Shelly monitoring devices. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and really easy to work with. He took the time to explain what he was doing, worked neatly, and made sure everything was tested and tidied up properly before leaving. The installation looks great, everything functions exactly as it should, and his attention to detail was excellent throughout. I’m really pleased with the quality of the work and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone needing an EV charger or electrical upgrade done to a high standard.”
