Electrical Fault Finding Bristol
Get help with tripping circuits, faulty sockets and power loss.
Business Electrical provides electrical fault finding in Bristol for homeowners and landlords dealing with tripping circuits, faulty sockets, flickering lights, power loss and other electrical problems.
We inspect, test and trace the issue safely, then explain what we’ve found and what needs to happen next.
Typically Common Electrical Faults
Electrical faults in the home are not always obvious at times. The problem can be anything – from a damaged socket or switch, consumer unit (fuse board) or hidden wiring that is well past its prime.
We can help with:
- Fuse boards or an RCD that keeps tripping
- Sockets not working
- Flickering lights
- Power loss in part of the property
- Warm sockets or burning smells
- Faults found during an EICR
- Suspected damaged or ageing wiring
If something smells burnt, keeps tripping or feels unsafe, stop using the affected socket or circuit and contact a qualified Bristol electrician today!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my fuse board keep tripping?
A fuse board may keep tripping because of a faulty appliance, damaged wiring, moisture, overloaded circuits or a problem with the consumer unit. A qualified electrician can test the circuit and identify the cause.
Why does my RCD keep tripping?
An RCD may trip because it has detected current leakage or a fault on a circuit. This can be caused by damaged wiring, faulty appliances, moisture or issues with sockets, lighting or outdoor electrics.
Can you fix sockets that have stopped working?
Yes. Sockets can stop working because of loose connections, damaged wiring, a faulty accessory, circuit issues or problems at the consumer unit. We can test and diagnose the cause.
Is electrical fault finding disruptive?
Most fault finding is not heavily disruptive. We usually start with inspection and testing. If the fault is hidden inside walls, floors or ceilings, further access may be needed, but we’ll explain this before carrying out extra work.
How much does electrical fault finding cost?
The cost depends on how complex the fault is and how long it takes to trace. Some faults are found quickly, while intermittent or hidden faults can take longer to diagnose.
Should I keep resetting a tripping circuit?
No. If a circuit keeps tripping, there is usually a reason. Repeatedly resetting it without finding the cause can be unsafe. Stop using the affected circuit where possible and contact a qualified Bristol electrician.
