Fault finding is carrying out any necessary electrical testing in order to find a fault on the electrical installation
Fault finding is typically required due to an external influence on the electrical installation.
Common causes are:
- A faulty electrical appliance
- Water ingress
- Rodent infestation

Faults tend to become apparent when you find circuits not working. External influences on the wiring system can cause these circuits to trip, which can be very inconvenient!
Unfortunately this is a bit of a 'how long is a piece of string' situation. We can find faults almost immediately, when others can take all day.
Here are a few things to consider and take note of which can make the fault finding process much quicker for the electrician (and keep costs down!):
- Which circuit/s are tripping
- What kind of circuit protection do you have (re-wirable, MCB, RCD, RCBO)
- What was happening when the circuit tripped
- What were the weather conditions (eg was it raining)?
- Any strange sounds or smells?
- Any new or malfunctioning appliances?

Many faults can't be seen simply by looking and are only picked up during testing.

The most valuable thing here is information. If the electrician can quickly build up a picture of what's happening/happened when the fault occurred it can make the fault finding process much quicker.
Fault finding in itself doesn't tend to cause much in the way of disruption. However, depending on the extent of the fault found, the rectification of the fault may require lifting of floorboards or chasing walls
Fault finding is charged at an hourly rate of £55+VAT
