“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

WhatsAppHow much does fault finding cost in Peterborough?
Lighting Electrical charges £75 per hour, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.
How much to change a socket front?
Our rate for this work is £75 per hour. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.
How much does electrical fault finding cost?
Fault finding and repair starts at £75 an hour. That pays for testing, a spoken diagnosis and the start of the repair. Parts and a certificate are extra only when the finding needs them.
Will you change parts before you know the cause?
No. We test first and name the failed joint, accessory, cable or device. Replacement starts after you accept that hourly repair.
Can you find a fault that only happens sometimes?
Often yes. Intermittent trips, flickers and warm fittings still leave traces at the board or along the circuit. If the fault will not show on the day we tell you what we found and what still needs watching.
