Fault Finding & Electrical Repairs in Devon

Electrical faults can happen without warning and can range from a faulty socket or light to a problem affecting an entire circuit.

JB Electrical South West provides professional electrical fault finding and repair services for homes, landlords and businesses across Devon. We investigate the problem, identify the likely cause and carry out the appropriate repair.

Whether you have a circuit that keeps tripping, lights that are not working properly or an electrical problem that only happens occasionally, we can help find the cause and provide a practical solution.

Common Electrical Problems We Can Help With

Electrical faults can present themselves in many different ways. Common problems include:

Frequently tripping circuit breakers
RCDs repeatedly switching off
Flickering or dimming lights
Faulty sockets
Faulty light switches
Burning smells around electrical accessories
Buzzing or crackling sounds
Intermittent power loss
Lights or appliances cutting out
Damaged sockets or switches
Electrical circuits not working
Other unexplained electrical problems

If an electrical problem keeps occurring, it is important to find out why rather than simply resetting the circuit each time.

Electrical Fault Finding

Some electrical faults are straightforward to identify, while others can be intermittent or hidden within the electrical installation.

We use a systematic approach to investigate the problem and identify where the fault is occurring.

Our fault finding service can include:

Inspecting electrical circuits
Checking sockets and switches
Investigating lighting faults
Testing electrical circuits
Checking consumer units and protective devices
Identifying damaged or faulty wiring
Investigating circuits that repeatedly trip
Locating intermittent electrical faults
Advising on appropriate repairs

Once the cause has been identified, we will explain the problem and discuss the required repair with you.

Electrical Repairs for Homes

Electrical problems around the home can be inconvenient and may prevent you from using important appliances, lighting or parts of your property.

We provide electrical repairs for a wide range of domestic issues, including:

Faulty sockets and switches
Lighting repairs
Circuit faults
Wiring repairs
Tripping circuits
Damaged electrical accessories
Consumer unit-related problems
Power supply issues
Electrical alterations and replacements

We aim to resolve the underlying problem rather than simply dealing with the symptoms.

Commercial Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs

Electrical faults can also disrupt businesses and affect the normal operation of commercial premises.

JB Electrical South West provides commercial electrical fault finding and repair services for businesses across Devon.

We can investigate problems with:

Commercial lighting
Power circuits
Sockets and switches
Electrical equipment connections
Distribution and protective devices
Wiring
Intermittent electrical faults
Other electrical installations

We will assess the problem, explain what has been identified and carry out the appropriate electrical repair.

Emergency Electrical Faults

Some electrical problems require attention as soon as possible, particularly where there are signs of overheating, burning smells, damaged wiring or other potentially dangerous issues.

If you notice a serious electrical problem, avoid touching damaged electrical equipment or attempting to carry out the repair yourself.

Where appropriate, we can investigate electrical faults and advise on the necessary repairs to make the installation safe and functional.

Fault Finding After a Power or Circuit Problem

If one part of your property has lost power while the rest of the property is working normally, the issue may be related to a particular circuit or electrical installation.

We can investigate problems such as:

One room losing power
A circuit repeatedly tripping
Certain sockets not working
Lights suddenly stopping
Appliances causing a circuit to trip
Power returning and then cutting out again

Testing and inspection can help determine whether the issue is with the electrical installation, an accessory or connected equipment.

I called Jeff for a rewire for a 1 bedroom flat and to get an electrical safety certificate for the property. He did the entire job in one day, I had been previously told this was a two day job atleast!! He uprated all of the electrics including fusebox and ensured everything was up to code. His work ethic, knowledge and patience has been outstanding! I would thoroughly recommend him, and will be using him for all future work. Thank again James

Jeff is a reliable, helpful and a very honest man. He quoted for a re-wire in my elderly parents house which they recently bought. When going through the wiring system he noticed that some of the newer parts of the house were not necessary to have new wiring put in and let my parents know. He also told them that the original quote would now be reduced because of this which they were very pleased about. He also did the first fix for them and is kindly working around my parents timings whilst certain rooms are put back together ie. plastering and decorating and coming back to do the second fix as and when the rooms are ready. As a family, we would definitely recommend Jeff to anyone that needs any wiring done. 10 out of 10 from us 👌 Natasha Biddle & all the family
