Maintenance
Fast fault finding, repairs and ongoing electrical maintenance to keep everything running.
The problem you have now, and the one you can avoid
Maintenance covers two different kinds of work. There is the problem you have right now, and there is the work that stops problems happening later. We do both. If a circuit keeps tripping, a light has stopped working or a power point has gone dead, we will find out why and fix it.
If you would rather get ahead of it, we can set up regular visits to check the things that fail: safety switches, smoke alarms, switchboard terminations, lighting and the fittings that are at the end of their life. For homeowners that is usually a periodic safety check. For businesses and property managers it is a scheduled arrangement so faults get found on a planned visit rather than during trading hours.
Maintenance and repair work
One-off repairs and ongoing support, for homes and for business premises.
Tripping circuits
Finding the cause rather than resetting the switch and hoping it holds.
Lighting repairs
Flickering lights, failed fittings and damaged switches, with LED upgrades where it stacks up.
Switchboard issues
Heat, damage, overload and boards that have been added to for decades.
Safety and compliance checks
RCD testing, smoke alarm age checks and the general condition of the installation.
Preventative maintenance
Planned visits that catch problems while they are still small.
Commercial maintenance
Ongoing support, repairs and upgrades for business premises.
What we investigate
Fault finding is genuinely a skill. Anyone can replace a part. Working out which part, and why it failed, is the job.
Circuits that trip repeatedly
Or trip at random, with no obvious pattern to what sets them off.
Safety switches tripping
Working out which circuit and which appliance is responsible rather than resetting and hoping.
Dead power points
Outlets that have stopped working, sometimes taking part of a circuit with them.
Lights that flicker, buzz or fail early
Usually a symptom of something upstream rather than a bad globe.
Burning smells and scorching
Around outlets, switches or the switchboard. Switch off and call us before using that circuit again.
Intermittent faults
The ones that disappear before anyone can look at them. Tell us everything you have noticed.
Safety devices only help if they work
We check and test smoke alarms, including whether they are within their ten year life and whether they meet the requirements that apply when a property is sold, rented or hired out. We test RCDs to confirm they trip correctly and that the property has the required protection on its power point and lighting circuits.
We also inspect switchboards for signs of heat, damage or overload, and check the general condition of older installations where several decades of additions can leave things that are not obvious from the outside. If you are preparing a property for sale or a new tenancy, this is the check to get done before it becomes a problem at settlement.
RCD test interval — Every three months
Smoke alarm life — Ten years maximum
Best time — Before sale or a new tenancy
Ongoing support for business premises
Scheduled visits
Planned maintenance so faults get found on a visit rather than at the worst possible moment.
Reactive repairs
When something fails, we come and find out why rather than just replacing the part.
Lighting maintenance
Across the whole premises, including emergency and exit fittings.
Switchboard checks
Heat, damage and overload picked up before they become downtime.
Planned upgrades
Work identified during maintenance so it can be budgeted rather than dealt with as an emergency.
A record of what was done
Useful at lease end and at insurance time.
