Things We Fix Every Week
Common Electrical Problems in Bradford Homes
If anything below sounds like your house, call us. Most can be diagnosed within an hour and many fixed the same visit.
RCD keeps tripping
An RCD trips because something on the circuit is leaking current to earth. We use a clamp meter and circuit-by-circuit isolation to find the exact culprit, usually inside the first hour of the visit.
Socket is burning hot or scorched
A loose terminal, oversized load or failed faceplate. Stop using it. Call us for a Bradford callout. We replace the socket and inspect the circuit for further damage.
Lights flickering across the house
Usually a loose neutral in the consumer unit or a damaged tail. Could also be a DNO supply fault. We diagnose first and recommend the fix you actually need, not the most expensive one.
What is a Code C2 on my EICR?
C2 means a potential danger. The installation is unsatisfactory and needs remedial work to be made safe. Common C2s include missing earthing, undersized cables and unprotected circuits. We quote remedials at the same visit.
Do I need a new fuse board?
You need a new metal consumer unit if you have a wooden or plastic enclosure, no RCD protection, or an old wire-fuse board. We replace with RCBO consumer units to current 18th Edition standards.
Half my house has no power
One side of the consumer unit has tripped or a circuit breaker has failed. Could also be a broken neutral. Call our Bradford line and we will tell you when we can be on site. Diagnose, isolate, fix.
Buzzing or humming consumer unit
Loose connections inside the CU are a fire risk. Stop touching it. Book a Bradford inspection without delay. We tighten or replace as needed, then issue a Minor Works Certificate.
When does an EICR expire?
For rentals, every 5 years or sooner if the report recommends. For owner-occupied homes, every 10 years. When in doubt, we offer a free EICR validity check on any existing certificate.
Smell of burning near a socket
Treat as an emergency. Switch off the circuit at the consumer unit, do not use the socket. Call our emergency line and we will tell you exactly when an engineer can reach you, based on where they are right now.

Rated 5.0 Across Bradford and Leeds

★★★★★
"Jinder did a full rewire of our Victorian house that we had just purchased. He gave a lot of care and attention to the planning, preparation and execution of the work. There are a lot of period features. He planned his work around preserving those whereas others would just shrug and say they'd probably get wrecked. His care and attention meant that the programme for the works overran but he kept to the original price agreed in advance. Had a slight issue with one plug socket which came loose a few months later and he came by and fixed it that weekend. Was a really big job and we are really pleased with the result."
Patrick Wisheu
★★★★★
