Common Electrical Faults We Repair
No electrical job is too small or too complex. We regularly handle a wide variety of domestic electrical repairs, including:
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: Often a sign of a loose connection or a fault in the circuit.
- Tripping Circuit Breakers: A circuit breaker that trips frequently can indicate an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or an earth fault.
- Faulty Sockets & Switches: Loose or cracked sockets, switches that don’t work, or warm-to-the-touch outlets.
- Partial or Full Power Loss: A complete or partial loss of power in a room or across the house requires immediate professional attention.
- RCD (Residual Current Device) Tripping: A key safety device that trips to protect against electric shocks. If it trips repeatedly, it indicates a serious fault on the circuit.
- Damaged Wiring: Old, worn, or damaged wiring can be a significant fire risk and requires urgent repair or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions on Electrical Repairs Blackpool
Frequently Asked Questions
This is typically caused by one of three issues: an overloaded circuit (too many appliances running at once), a short circuit (where a live and neutral wire touch), or an earth fault (a live wire touching a metal component). A professional can diagnose the exact cause.
No. Even seemingly minor electrical work should only be done by a qualified electrician. Attempting DIY repairs can be extremely dangerous, risking electric shock, fire, or damage to your property.
Flickering lights can be caused by a variety of issues, from a loose bulb or faulty fitting to a more serious problem like a loose connection in the wiring or a faulty circuit. We recommend having it inspected by an electrician to rule out a more serious fault.
The cost of a repair depends on the nature and complexity of the fault. We provide transparent pricing and will give you a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
We understand the urgency of electrical faults. We aim to respond to all repair enquiries as quickly as possible and will schedule an emergency visit for urgent safety issues.
A consumer unit is the modern equivalent of an old fuse box. It uses circuit breakers and Residual Current Devices (RCDs) for enhanced safety, whereas old fuse boxes rely on outdated fuse wires that do not offer the same level of protection.
Signs of old or unsafe wiring include old-fashioned fuse boxes, cables with fabric sheathing, light switches with exposed metal, or a lack of modern safety devices like RCDs. If you have any concerns, you should have a qualified electrician perform a safety inspection.
An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a life-saving safety feature that automatically switches off a circuit if it detects an electrical fault. It is designed to protect against electric shocks and reduce the risk of electrical fires, and it is a legal requirement for new installations.
A rewire is typically recommended when a property's wiring is old, unsafe, or no longer compliant with current regulations. If a series of small faults are occurring, it may be a sign of a larger, underlying issue with the wiring, and a full rewire may be the safest and most cost-effective long-term solution.
It's not necessary, but if you have a known issue causing a hazard, it's always best to switch off the circuit breaker for that area. Our electricians will always confirm the power is off using professional test equipment before beginning any work.
