2) Electrical Faults

Many electrical faults can affect the safe operation of an electrical system but do not necessarily show themselves until secondary issues occur. The following electrical faults can be incredibly dangerous but would not necessarily give any indication of problems until additional factors are in play.

• Broken Ring Final Circuit
• Missing or Inadequate Earthing
• Loose Connections 
• Undersized Cabling
• Incorrectly Sized Circuit Breakers
• Borrowed Neutral Conductors
• Old or Faulty Wiring 

Electricity is a silent operator and as such, issues in electrical systems can lay dormant for years until discovered by a professional electrician. It is not uncommon to find further issues in older wiring systems whilst investigating an emergency call out problem!

If you need an electrician immediately, please call 07858 136 955 or 0151 351 4011 and I will answer or phone you straight back!

3) Emergency Service

There are many types of electrical emergencies that may require immediate emergency assistance from a 24-hour midnight electrician.

• Electrical Fires 
• Intermittent Power Outages 
• House Alarm Going Off 
• Flickering Lights 
• Burning Smell 
• Electric Shocks

These kinds of electrical issues often require immediate attendance. Whilst a house alarm going off may be an irritating experience for yourself and your neighbours, it does not present the danger of electrical shock as is the case with other electrical emergencies. Our emergency electrician service is here for all your urgent electrical needs, in the middle of the day or the early hours of the morning. 

With a 90-minute response time out of hours, we guarantee to get there as quickly as we possibly can.

4) Electrical Wiring Repair

​Each year we attend several emergencies where electrical wiring repair is needed. These urgent issues should be sorted out quickly as fire hazards could exist with wiring damage. The most common form of wiring damage in domestic properties is where a nail or drill has gone through a cable requiring immediate safety measures and repair services. In most cases, repairs can be carried out immediately and, in some cases, further electrical work may be required to ensure a safe and long-lasting repair. 

There are potential risks with repairing very old electrical wiring and in some older homes with older electrical installations, wiring repairs may not be possible nor safe.

You may find that you have received an electrical shock, tripped the consumer unit or blown a fuse with a DIY mishap. It’s important not to reset the switch or restore power to the circuit in these cases. There will be some damage to the cable that exists and should be investigated by an electrician.

5) Circuit Breaker Problems in Eccleston

​Our electrical services include replacing circuit breakers, investigating faults with circuit breakers and the reasons for them tripping. More often than not, there is no issue with a circuit breaker itself but rather an electrical fault on the circuit which the circuit breaker protects. We have many years of experience in fault finding, electrical testing, tracing wiring issues and can efficiently trace faults through an entire house to pin point the location of the problem.

6) Can you fix all problems within an hour?

Many of the electrical issues that we are called to can indeed be fixed within the hour, around 90%. A genuine emergency electrical problem can involve replacing parts and on occasion, some further time to trace issues. We carry a vast range of spares on board and in our storage facility which means that many spares are available to us out of hours when electrical wholesalers are closed. 

Where parts are obsolete, wiring faults are buried under the floors or further time is required, the electrical system will be made safe and reinstated and arrangements will be made to return to complete any larger repairs.

7) Electrical Maintenance​

Many domestic properties have not had an electrical inspection carried out since the electrical system was originally installed. An electrical inspection also known as a periodic electrical inspection, safety check or electrical safety certificate is a vital part of owning a property and looking after the electrics. Without an occasional electrical inspection, dangers can occur that go undetected in your home. Consumer units and fuse boxes should be replaced every 2 or 3 decades as a minimum, wiring should be checked, electrical accessories should be tested for problems and the earthing should be measure to ensure it is correct.

8) Electrical Panel, Consumer Unit and Fuse Box Replacement

Simply because a consumer unit is plastic does NOT mean it needs to be replaced. It certainly is NOT illegal which is a common misconception. 

Older fuse box style consumer units SHOULD now be replaced as they have outseen their serviceable life and may now be dangerous or, as a minimum, not providing the level of protection that a modern electrical system needs.
