Signs that your wiring may need replacing include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, discoloured sockets, burning smells, or outdated fuse boxes. If you have concerns, we can carry out an inspection to assess your system.

If you own a rental property, an EICR is legally required every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. Homeowners should have one done at least every 10 years to ensure their electrical system is safe and compliant. Businesses also require regular EICRs to meet health and safety regulations.

A burning smell from a light switch is a serious warning sign of overheating, faulty wiring, or a loose connection. Turn off the power immediately and avoid using the switch. Contact a qualified electrician as soon as possible to inspect and repair the issue before it becomes a fire hazard.

While minor tasks like changing a lightbulb are safe, any major electrical work (such as rewiring, installing sockets, or consumer unit upgrades) must be carried out by a qualified electrician to comply with building regulations and avoid serious safety risks.

A circuit breaker trips to protect your system from faults such as overloaded circuits, short circuits, or faulty appliances. If it happens frequently, unplug devices and reset the breaker. If the issue persists, an electrician should inspect the wiring to diagnose and fix the fault.

A maintenance plan ensures your electrical system stays safe, compliant, and efficient. It can help landlords, businesses, and homeowners avoid unexpected repair costs while keeping their properties legally compliant and well-maintained.

Switching to LED lighting, installing smart home automation, and upgrading outdated wiring can significantly reduce your energy consumption. We also offer energy efficiency audits and smart lighting solutions to help lower your bills and environmental impact.

First, check if your neighbours are also affected. If they are, it’s likely a grid issue, so contact your electricity provider. If it’s just your home, check your consumer unit for tripped breakers. If the problem persists, an electrician can help diagnose the issue.

Frequent bulb failures may be caused by power surges, poor wiring, or incorrect bulb wattage. If bulbs blow often, we recommend checking your fittings or having an electrician assess the circuit.

Older homes may still have fuse boxes, which use replaceable fuses. Modern homes have consumer units, which use circuit breakers and RCDs for better safety. If you have an outdated fuse box, upgrading to a consumer unit is recommended for improved protection.

If multiple sockets stop working, check if a circuit breaker has tripped. If only one socket is faulty, there may be a loose connection or internal wiring issue. We can diagnose and repair socket faults quickly.
