Expert Electrical Fault Finding & Emergency Repairs | London & South East.
Fast Diagnosis, Professional Solutions.
Is your power tripping for no apparent reason? Do you have a burning smell coming from a socket or a light that won’t turn on? Electrical faults can be frustrating and, more importantly, dangerous.
At PLS Electrical, we are experts in diagnostic fault finding. We don’t just “fix the symptom”—we find the root cause of the problem to ensure your property remains safe and functional.
Common Faults We Resolve
Nuisance Tripping: When your RCD or circuit breaker keeps flipping off unexpectedly.
Loss of Power: Complete or partial power failure to sockets or lighting circuits.
Burning Smells or Scorching: Investigating hot switches, melting plastic, or “fishy” smells (often a sign of arcing).
Flickering Lights: Diagnosing loose connections, faulty transformers, or outdated dimmers.
Faulty Hardwired Appliances: Repairs for electric showers, immersions, and storage heaters.
Our Fault Finding Process:
Visual Inspection: We check for obvious signs of damage, wear, or overheating.
Specialist Testing: Using calibrated insulation resistance and continuity testers, we “track” the fault through your wiring.
Isolation: We narrow the problem down to a specific appliance, cable, or accessory.
Repair & Verify: Once fixed, we re-test the circuit to ensure it is 100% safe and provide a Minor Works Certificate where required.
