3) How to solve Electrical Faults
3.1) Faulty Wiring
Where faulty wiring has occurred, an electrical contractor is often needed to attend the premises to check WHERE the electrical fault has occurred. Most electrical wiring is installed in the walls, under the floorboards and throughout the loft area so tracing a fault can be very difficult on your own. Electricians can use the latest professional equipment to test and trace electrical problems within your home's electrical system.
Fault finding work can involve removing light fittings, taking plug sockets and switches off the wall and checking sections of cable for the faulty area.
3.2) Damaged Cables
Damaged cables can cause the consumer unit to trip or the fuse box to blow fuses. When this happens, there is a large and dangerous electrical fault that will eventually ruin cables and trip switches if emergency call-out services are not sought quickly. Electrical work to repair damaged cables can involve the lifting of floor coverings, floor boards and loft access in order to trace the damage.
3.3) Burnt Out Connections
Where you discover burning smells, there is a risk of electrical fires in the property. Burning smells are usually a fishy smell, plastic burning smell or other acrid smell. This happens as the wiring overheats and the PVC insulation begins to release chemicals in the smoke. An electrician is needed along with an hour of their time to trace and diagnose faults in wiring systems where burning smells have occurred.
3.4) Electrical Shock Risks Present
There is always the risk of electrical shock where electrical faults have occurred. The older the electrics in a property, the greater the risk normally is. Where modern consumer units and protective device switches are installed, there is less risk of this situation occurring. Older fuse boxes do not provide very good protection against electrical shocks and as such it is recommended to have replacement parts fitted or the unit replaced completely.

- Check with the neighbours to see if their light bulbs and plug sockets are working
- Ring 105 Freephone to check with the supplier for problems
- Check for strange smells that could indicate overheating in the fuse box
- Check the switches at the fuse box to see if anything has tripped
