Fault Finding Specialists · Northampton
Tripping breakers, dead sockets, flickering lights or a circuit that's just stopped working — diagnosed properly with test equipment, usually fixed the same visit, across Northampton.
What's involved
Electrical faults rarely fix themselves, and repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker just masks the real problem. We trace faults with calibrated test equipment, find the actual cause, and explain it in plain English before doing anything further.
Northampton is the furthest area we cover, so for anything beyond a simple visit we'll aim to combine it efficiently with other jobs nearby — but urgent faults still get a fast response.

Common faults in Northampton homes
A breaker that keeps tripping is protecting you from a fault — usually a damaged cable, faulty appliance, or overloaded circuit. We trace it rather than just resetting it.
Faults in HMOs — communal lighting, fire alarm circuits, or individual room supplies — diagnosed and fixed with licensing compliance in mind.
Flickering lights or tripping after a kitchen refit or DIY work? We find what was missed or done incorrectly and put it right properly.
Right on your doorstep
Northampton is the furthest of the four areas we cover, so we plan appointments efficiently — but urgent faults still get a fast, honest response.
What Northampton customers say
"Kitchen kept tripping after a refurb someone else did. Found a botched cooker circuit and sorted it same day. Should've called first time."
"Sorted the EICR on my rental so I could get it re-let. Clear certificate, honest about what needed doing, no scare tactics. Will use again."
"Full rewire on our HMO ahead of licensing renewal. Surveyed properly, quote matched what we actually paid, and the certificate was exactly what the council needed."
Common questions
It depends on how long the fault takes to trace. We'll always explain what we've found and quote any further work clearly before doing it — no surprises on the invoice.
Often, yes. Most faults — a loose connection, a faulty socket, a failed circuit breaker — are fixed in the same visit once found. Some faults need a follow-up if parts are needed.
A tripping breaker is your consumer unit doing its job — protecting you from a fault. It shouldn't be ignored or repeatedly reset without knowing why it's happening, so it's worth getting checked promptly.
Yes. We trace faults with calibrated test equipment rather than guesswork, so the actual cause gets fixed rather than just the symptom.
