Electrical fault finding in Monmouth
- 01
Common signs of a fault
An RCD or breaker that trips, sockets or lights that stop working, flickering, buzzing from switches, or a tingle when you touch an appliance. Faults can come and go, so note when it happens and what was switched on. That detail helps us find it faster.

How we track it down
We start by narrowing the fault to one circuit, then test that circuit's wiring, connections and insulation with specialist meters. Plug-in appliances are checked too, as a faulty kettle or outdoor socket is often the cause. Testing like this finds the real problem instead of guessing.

When a fault takes longer
Some faults are hidden under floors, behind plaster or in damp outside cables. These can take longer to find, and we'll keep you updated as we go. If we need to lift a floorboard or open up a wall, we'll explain why and agree it with you first.
What to expect from electrical fault finding
Before we visit, we ask what's happening, when it started and whether anything new has been fitted. On the day, we check the consumer unit, find which circuit is affected and work through it with test equipment until the cause shows up.
Once we've found the fault, we explain it in plain words and tell you what the repair involves and costs before doing it. After the repair, we test the circuit again to prove it's safe and give you a certificate for the work.

Electrical fault finding questions
How much does electrical fault finding cost in Monmouth?
It depends on how long the fault takes to find. Some show up in minutes, while hidden faults can take longer to trace. There's no call-out charge, we keep you updated as we work, and we price the repair before doing it so you can decide.
Why does my RCD keep tripping in my Monmouth home?
Usually because something on that circuit is leaking current to earth. Common causes are a faulty appliance, water in an outdoor socket or light, a damaged cable or an old immersion heater. If unplugging everything doesn't stop it, the fault is in the wiring and needs testing.
Can you find a fault in Monmouth that only happens now and then?
Yes, although intermittent faults can take longer. It helps if you note when it happens, the weather and what was switched on. We test the suspect circuits and check for loose connections, which are a common cause of faults that come and go.
Is it safe to reset a tripping breaker myself in Monmouth?
Yes, once. Unplug the appliances on that circuit first, then reset it. If it trips again straight away, or you notice a burning smell, heat or scorch marks, leave it off and call an electrician. Resetting a breaker over and over can hide a fault that needs fixing.
