Electrical Fault Finding / Rectification
Electrical faults at home or in the workplace can be annoying at best. They can be dangerous and cause damage to your property or electrical appliances.
Some of the more common reasons why electrical faults develop, more so in domestic dwellings can be accidental damage (nails/screws driven through cables). Poor installation methods, especially if the property has been subjected to years of DIY projects. Overloaded circuits, environmental, rodent damage, little or no planned preventative maintenance. Generally, some/all of the aforementioned conditions (not exhaustive) are likely to contribute to the degradation of the electrical installation leading to possible intermittent faults and eventual failure.
Some symptoms may be buzzing/sparking switches, signs of heat, (discolouration of accessories), burning smells or repeated operation of protective devices (fuse keeps blowing). If you experience any of these conditions, switch off the appliance/circuit immediately (if safe to do so) and call a Qualified electrician. He/she will have all the necessary test equipment to diagnose the fault.
Upon request (call out), JTL Electrics Ltd aim to attend site as soon as reasonably possible and diagnose (Fault find) the issue. Where it’s not practicable to facilitate an immediate repair, we will isolate/make safe the faulty equipment/circuit and reinstate power. A separate quotation can be provided for any remedial work (rectification) required. In some cases, it may be necessary to cut exploratory holes in the building fabric to assist fault detection. We take no financial responsibility should such holes be required. We shall endeavour to keep this to an absolute minimum.
