Areas we cover
A recent fault we traced
- Trace heating alarm, White City (W12). A pipe trace heating system kept alarming for low current. We tested the heating cable on its own (it drew about 1.2A and heated normally) and proved the fault was in the controller’s current monitoring, so only the controller needed replacing. More detail on our HIU and CIU repairs page.

Common questions
Why does my electricity keep tripping?
Usually a faulty appliance, damp getting into an outside light or socket, or a fault on a circuit. We test circuit by circuit to find the cause rather than just resetting the switch.
Can you come out the same day?
We fit urgent faults in as quickly as we can. Call 020 8227 0035 and the office will tell you the earliest slot.
What if I smell burning from a socket or the fuse board?
Switch off at the main switch if it is safe to do so, unplug nearby appliances and call us. Do not keep using the circuit.
Do you fix the fault on the same visit?
Most faults are found and fixed in one visit. If parts or bigger work are needed, you get a clear written price first.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. We attend tenant fault reports, send photos and notes, and quote any follow-on work.
