Back to top2) Power Outages in Ditton

The best way to establish this is to call 105 freephone to speak with the distribution network operator (DNO). The DNO are responsible for the electricity network from the power station to your front door.

Back to top4) Types of Electrical Faults that can occur
There are a number of different electrical faults that can affect a wiring system and its ability to operate correctly. From damaged cabling to blown fuses we are here to help. I will speak with you directly when you call and try to ascertain the nature of your electrical problems.
Typical faults include:
- Short Circuit
- Earth Faults
- Overloaded Circuits
- Electrical Fire
- Electric shock dangers
- Electrical Earthing Issues
- Insulation Faults
4.1) Short Circuit
Where a circuit's Line wire comes into contact with a Neutral wire, a short circuit is created. That is, a very low resistance path between Line and Neutral leading to massive electrical currents flowing in the circuit until the fuse box or consumer unit disconnects the affected circuit. Such circumstances could happen as a result of faulty appliances, faulty equipment, or damaged cabling.
Where a trip switch is tripping off the power at the consumer unit, there is an electrical fault that needs repairing. Consumer unit fuses may blow in slightly more modern fuse boxes where a short circuit occurs.
Where these faults are occurring the best way of resolving them is to have a specialist emergency electrician attend to carry out indoor and outdoor electrical wiring inspecting & testing.
4.2) Earth Faults
Earth faults are a situation where electrical current is leaking to earth in a circuit. Normally under these circumstances and RCD (RCB, RCCB or RCBO) device will be tripping at the electrical panel / consumer unit. Earth faults are a dangerous situation that, if not resolved, can lead to electrical shock. It’s important not to continually reset a trip switch or RCD device as ultimately it will eventually fail.
Trip switches are not designed to continually handle the dissipation of electrical faults and have a limited number of times they are able to do so. Once a trip switch fails it will need to be replaced with the same make and model of switch in order to preserve the safety of the consumer unit.
Fuse box repairs are often needed after ignoring an electrical fault for too long. In some cases, fuse box replacement may be necessary where electrical repairs cannot be carried out to the box. Not all parts are manufactured forever and many consumer unit and fuse box companies have gone out of business or changed their designs meaning that new equipment that fits is hard to obtain.
4.3) Overloaded Circuits
Overloaded circuits are a common occurrence. If a fuse wire or fuse is blowing or a trip switch keeps tripping then it may be sensible to take note of what equipment and appliances are being used to see if the electrical circuit is possibly overloaded. Too many high-powered appliances on a plug socket circuit can cause fuses to blow and switches to trip.
4.4) Electrical Fire
On occasion, electrical faults can lead to electrical fire. Where a fire occurs in a consumer unit, a consumer unit replacement will need to be carried out in order to guarantee safety. Fuse box repairs and consumer unit repairs are often not possible after an internal electrical fire due to the physical damage that occurs to the components. Even where no physical damage is seen, the heat generated can spread to other parts of the consumer unit and mean components are effectively ruined.
We carry out electrical repairs to the safety standards set out in the wiring regulations. All safety regulations are followed to ensure that any repairs completed are done so to a high standard.
4.5) Electric shock dangers
Electrical shock can occur in systems where no electric shock protection devices are present (RCD). An electrical contractor that specialises in fault finding and emergency call-outs will be best placed to examine the cause of electrical shocks and associated dangers. We specialise in fault finding and emergency works so we can assist you with any electrical emergency in Ditton or surrounding areas that you may have.
4.6) Electrical Earthing Issues
Where there are problems with the electrical system that affect the earthing, the system is potentially very dangerous. Electrical earthing is not required in order for electricity to flow correctly in a healthy circuit but the moment faults develop, earthing is absolutely vital to protect against overcurrent, short circuit situations and to ensure that the trip switches operate as intended.
4.7) Insulation Faults
Around every metal wire in an electrical cable there is coloured layer of PVC insulation that prevents the metal wires touching each other inside the cable. The insulation also adds a layer of protection for us that means we cannot touch the live parts of the wiring. Where the insulation in the cable breaks down, is cracked, or has become damaged for whatever reason, electrical danger exists and you should call us, your local electrician in Ditton on:
0151 351 4011 or 07858 136 955
I will need to attend to examine the cause of the electrical problems.
Back to top5) Fuse Box Rewiring
Where wiring inside a fuse box or consumer unit is damaged, extremely messy or showing signs of overheating, it may be necessary to carry out some fuse box rewiring in order to make things safer. This can involve shortening cables, lengthening cables, or rearranging circuit breakers in order to relocate cabling inside the consumer unit. Domestic wiring often suffers at the hands of overly keen DIYers whom seldom carry out electrical work in accordance with the wiring regulations.
Back to top6) Electrical Installation Condition Report
After any electrical faults, electrical problems or electrical system breakdown issues have occurred, it may be wise to consider when the electrical installation was last checked over thoroughly by a professional. A complete electrical check is called a periodic electrical inspection and the document produced following this process is called an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). The electrical check can take some time and that is normal for a thorough electrical inspection. Beware cheap EICR and Periodic Inspections that take an hour or less as they are likely not going to be of much value due to limited time for testing and inspection.
