Fault Finding & Repairs
Fuse box tripping every time you put the kettle on? Half the sockets gone dead? Resetting it and hoping is tempting, but the right answer is proper testing that tracks the fault to the exact circuit, fitting or cable causing it.
I test with calibrated equipment, make anything dangerous safe straight away and explain what I've found in plain English, with a fixed price to fix it. Most faults are found and fixed in one visit, and I'm available for call-outs across Norwich when something can't wait.

Fault finding questions, answered
How much does fault finding cost?
Most fault-finding visits and call-outs around Norwich run £80 to £150 for the first hour, depending on the fault and the time of day. Describe it on the phone and I'll confirm an exact price before I start, so there's never a diagnosis-charge surprise.
Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
Usually a faulty appliance, moisture in an outside fitting or a damaged cable. I test circuit by circuit to find exactly which, rather than guessing. That tripping switch, the RCD, is doing its job.
Half my sockets have stopped working. Is that serious?
It's usually a broken connection on one circuit, and very fixable. Loose connections make heat though, so don't leave it. I can normally trace and repair it in one visit.
How quickly can you get to me?
I keep space in the diary for faults and urgent jobs, and anything that sounds dangerous goes first. Call and I'll give you an honest arrival time.
