18th Edition Certified | Same-Day Response | 24/7 Emergency | All London Postcodes

Pristine Gas Ltd’s certified electrician Matt provides electrical fault finding across London from £85. Tripping RCDs, flickering lights, sparking sockets, and total power loss diagnosed and resolved same day in Holborn WC1N, Islington N1, and all London postcodes. Call 07472 251465.

Electrical faults are not just inconvenient — they can be dangerous. A tripping RCD, sparking socket, or flickering circuit can indicate faulty wiring, damaged insulation, moisture ingress, or an overloaded circuit. Left undiagnosed and unresolved, electrical faults are a leading cause of domestic fires in the UK.

Matt works alongside gas engineer Ralf on combined heating and electrical jobs, and also carries out consumer unit replacements and emergency electrical call-outs across all London postcodes.

Common Electrical Faults We Diagnose

Matt diagnoses and repairs all of the following across London properties. If your fault is not listed, call 07472 251465 — it is almost certainly something we have dealt with before.

  • RCD tripping repeatedly — a fault to earth on one or more circuits, often caused by a faulty appliance or damaged wiring
  • Total power failure — complete loss of power to part or all of a property
  • Sparking or burning sockets — loose connections, damaged contacts, or faulty socket face
  • Flickering or dimming lights — loose connections at the light fitting, switch, or distribution board
  • Circuit breaker tripping under load — overloaded circuit or a failing circuit breaker
  • Burning smell from sockets or switches — arcing or overheating within the accessory, requires immediate attention
  • Dead sockets or outlets — open circuit in the ring main or spur wiring
  • Outdoor socket or light not working — moisture ingress, faulty RCD outlet, or cable damage

Why Faults Must Not Be Ignored

Electrical faults are responsible for approximately 20,000 domestic fires in the UK every year. A fault that causes intermittent tripping or flickering today can develop into a fire risk if the underlying cause is not identified and repaired.

If you notice a burning smell, discolouration around a socket, or repeated RCD trips, do not continue using the affected circuit. Call 07472 251465 for same-day attendance from Matt. If you have a sparking socket or smell burning, isolate the circuit at the consumer unit and call immediately.

The Fault Finding Process

Matt uses systematic diagnostic methods to locate electrical faults precisely, avoiding unnecessary rewiring or component replacement.

Step 1 — Initial Assessment

Matt begins by gathering information about when the fault started, what symptoms you have noticed, and whether any recent work has been done. He then visually inspects the consumer unit and affected circuits before any testing begins.

Step 2 — Circuit Isolation and Testing

Using insulation resistance testing, loop impedance testing, and RCD testing equipment, Matt systematically isolates the fault to a specific circuit. For RCD trips, he identifies which appliance or circuit section is causing the fault before anything is replaced.

Step 3 — Fault Located and Quoted

Once the fault is precisely located, Matt explains what has caused it and what repair is required. You receive a clear price for the repair before Matt proceeds — no surprises on completion.

Step 4 — Repaired and Tested

The fault is repaired and all affected circuits are retested to confirm correct operation. Where required, a minor works certificate or Electrical Installation Certificate is issued.

What Customers Say

★★★★★

“Ralf came out promptly to look at the boiler issue and quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. During the visit, he also identified an electrical issue that needed attention. Matt then attended and efficiently sorted out the electrical problems. Both were professional, knowledgeable, and reliable throughout. Excellent service from start to finish — highly recommended.”

Electrical Fault Finding — Common Questions

An RCD trips when it detects a difference between the current flowing out and returning on a circuit — a sign of a fault to earth. Common causes include a faulty appliance, damaged wiring insulation, a faulty socket, or moisture ingress in an outdoor fitting. Matt can identify the exact cause and repair it. Call 07472 251465.
