Electrical Fault Finding and Repair
When an electrical problem strikes your home or business in Essex, London, or Kent, it can be more than just an inconvenience; it can be a serious safety hazard. At Solitaire Group, based in Maldon, Essex, our dedicated team of Gas Safe and NAPIT approved electricians specialises in rapid and reliable electrical fault finding and repair services. We understand that issues like flickering lights, tripping circuit breakers, or even complete power outages require immediate attention, and that’s precisely what we provide.
Electrical faults can arise from various sources, including aged wiring, overloaded circuits, damaged appliances, or even environmental factors. These issues can manifest in subtle ways, making them difficult for the untrained eye to identify, but ignoring them can lead to significant risks such as electric shocks, property damage, or even fires.
How Solitaire Group can help with your electrical fault finding and repair:
- Rapid Response: We know that electrical problems can't wait. Our team is committed to providing prompt service, aiming to diagnose and resolve your electrical issues as quickly as possible to minimise disruption and restore safety to your property.
- Expert Diagnosis: Our highly skilled electricians use state-of-the-art testing equipment and their extensive experience to accurately pinpoint the root cause of your electrical fault. We follow a systematic approach to eliminate guesswork, ensuring an efficient and effective solution.
- Comprehensive Repairs: Once the fault is identified, we'll clearly explain the issue and the necessary repairs. Our vans are well-stocked with common parts, allowing us to carry out many repairs on the spot, saving you time and money. For more complex issues, we'll provide a transparent quotation and schedule the repair at your convenience.
- Safety First: Your safety is our top priority. All our fault finding and repair work is carried out to the highest industry standards, complying with the latest IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671). We ensure that once we leave, your electrical system is not only working correctly but is also safe and compliant.
Common electrical faults we can resolve for you include:
When you choose Solitaire Group for your EICR, our skilled electricians will carry out a detailed examination, including:
- Visual Inspection: A thorough visual check of all accessible electrical components, including consumer units (fuse boxes), wiring, switches, sockets, and accessories, looking for signs of damage, wear, or incorrect installation.
- Dead Testing: This involves turning off the power to your property to safely conduct a series of crucial tests: Continuity Testing: To confirm that protective conductors and bonding are correctly connected. Insulation Resistance Testing: To check the integrity of the insulation of your electrical cables, preventing leakage and potential short circuits. Polarity Testing: To ensure that the wiring is connected in the correct sequence, preventing dangerous conditions.
- Live Testing: With the power re-energised, further tests are carried out: Earth Fault Loop Impedance Testing: To verify that protective devices (fuses, circuit breakers, RCDs) would operate quickly enough in the event of a fault, minimising the risk of electric shock. RCD (Residual Current Device) Testing: To confirm that RCDs trip within the required timeframes, providing vital protection against electric shock.
- Comprehensive Report: Upon completion, you will receive a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report. This formal document will outline the findings of the inspection, categorising any observations with clear codes: C1 (Danger Present): Immediate remedial action required. C2 (Potentially Dangerous): Urgent remedial action required. C3 (Improvement Recommended): While not immediately dangerous, these are recommendations for improving the safety or functionality of your electrical system. FI (Further Investigation Required): Indicates a potential issue that needs further examination.
Should any remedial work be necessary, our team will provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. We are committed to helping you ensure your electrical installations are safe, efficient, and fully compliant, providing exceptional service throughout Essex, London, and Kent from our Maldon base.
