Electrical Repairs & Fault Finding Edmonton

We cover Edmonton N9 and N18 and can typically attend within 24–48 hours for non-urgent electrical repairs and fault finding. For genuine emergencies — sparking sockets, burning smells, complete power loss — we aim to attend the same day. Call 07932 772 050 and describe the fault; we'll confirm our availability and give you an honest arrival time.

We repair all common household electrical faults including: dead sockets and lighting circuits, RCDs tripping with no obvious cause, flickering lights, burning smells from sockets or consumer unit upgrade, shower circuit failures, faulty MCBs, loose connections causing heat build-up, outdoor circuit failures, and earth faults on ageing wiring.

Our fault finding visit fee is £100 and includes up to 1 hour of professional diagnosis plus any simple repairs we can complete safely on the spot (such as tightening loose connections, replacing faulty sockets, or swapping a failed MCB). If more complex work is needed, we'll provide a clear written quote before proceeding.

In most cases, yes. Our vans carry common replacement parts including MCBs, RCDs, RCBOs, sockets, switches, and cable. The majority of faults are diagnosed and repaired in a single visit. If specialist parts or extensive rewiring work are required, we'll make the situation safe on the day and return once parts are sourced — usually within 1–2 working days.

Persistent RCD tripping is usually caused by one of four things: a faulty appliance leaking current to earth, damaged cable insulation, moisture ingress in an outdoor or bathroom circuit, or — in older properties — gradual insulation breakdown across multiple circuits. We isolate each circuit systematically to identify exactly which one is causing the trip, then repair or replace the faulty section.

Partial power loss is typically caused by a tripped or failed MCB at the consumer unit, an overloaded ring circuit, a loose connection at a junction box, or — in older properties — a blown rewireable fuse. We'll check your consumer unit first, then test the affected circuit to pinpoint whether it's a wiring fault, connection issue, or overload problem.

Intermittent faults can be harder to trace, particularly in older properties with hidden junction boxes. If we can't replicate or locate the fault during the initial visit, we won't charge for a second visit to complete the diagnosis. We'll also advise on whether an EICR inspection would help identify underlying wiring issues across the whole installation.

Flickering lights are most commonly caused by loose connections at the light fitting, ceiling rose, or switch — often in older properties where terminals have worked loose over time. It can also indicate an overloaded circuit, a failing dimmer switch incompatible with LED bulbs, or deteriorating cable connections at a junction box. We test and tighten all connections on the circuit and replace any failed components.

We carry out electrical repairs and fault finding across North London including Edmonton, Enfield, Palmers Green, Southgate, Wood Green, Winchmore Hill, New Southgate, Arnos Grove, Bounds Green, Oakwood, Cockfosters, and Chingford.

Yes. All repair work we carry out is tested and certified to BS 7671 18th Edition standards. You'll receive a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC) or an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR testing) where applicable, documenting the work completed and confirming your installation is safe.

A burning smell from a socket is a serious fault requiring immediate attention. Stop using the socket immediately and switch off the circuit at your consumer unit if you can do so safely. Call us on 07932 772050 — we'll attend and use thermal imaging to locate any overheating connections or arcing faults. In most cases this is repairable on the same visit.

Call us on 07932 772 050 or use the contact form. We cover all of Edmonton N9 and N18. For urgent faults call directly — we can usually attend within 24 hours. For non-urgent repair bookings we typically schedule within 2–5 days. We'll confirm the visit time and what to expect before we arrive.
