Expert Electrical Fault Finding in Bristol

Fast, Accurate, and Reliable Diagnosis of Electrical Issues

Electrical faults can be disruptive, frustrating, and, in some cases, dangerous. From tripping circuits to flickering lights, unexplained power losses, or faulty sockets, these issues need expert attention to ensure they are diagnosed and resolved safely.

At Fairway Electrical, I specialise in electrical fault finding in Bristol. With years of hands-on experience, professional testing equipment, and a logical, methodical approach, I am confident I can locate most electrical faults within the first hour of investigation. Unlike some electricians who prefer straightforward installations, I genuinely enjoy the challenge of fault finding and take pride in getting to the root of the problem—no guesswork, no unnecessary repairs, just expert solutions.

Great Communication & Reliable Service

I understand that when you have an electrical issue, you want a quick response and clear communication. That’s why I make it a priority to provide excellent customer service every step of the way:

📞 I’ll always call you back – If you reach out and I’m busy on a job, I’ll return your call as soon as possible.
📅 Appointment confirmations & reminders – You’ll receive a text reminder of your appointment so you know exactly when to expect me.
⏳ Estimated arrival times – I’ll send an update with my expected arrival time so you’re not left waiting around.
👷 Friendly, professional service – I explain everything in plain English, keeping you informed without confusing jargon.

Common Electrical Faults I Fix

Electrical issues can range from minor annoyances to serious safety risks. Some of the most frequent faults I deal with in homes and businesses across Bristol include:

✅ Tripping RCDs and Circuit Breakers – If your RCD keeps tripping, it could be caused by a faulty appliance, water ingress, or damaged wiring. I’ll pinpoint the issue and resolve it.

✅ Flickering or Non-Working Lights – This can be due to loose connections, faulty switches, or degraded wiring. I’ll ensure your lighting is safe and reliable.

✅ Faulty Sockets and Switches – If a plug socket or switch isn’t working correctly, I’ll test the circuit and replace any faulty parts as needed.

✅ Overheating Consumer Units – If your consumer unit feels hot or emits a burning smell, this is a serious warning sign. I’ll inspect for loose connections or an overloaded circuit.

✅ Partial Power Loss in Your Property – If some areas of your home or office lose power while others remain functional, I’ll locate the fault and restore your supply safely.

✅ Buzzing Noises or Electrical Arcing – A buzzing or crackling sound from a switch, socket, or fuse board could indicate electrical arcing, which is a potential fire hazard.

✅ Intermittent Electrical Issues – These faults can be tricky, but with the right approach, I can diagnose even the most unpredictable problems efficiently.

    Jason found the cause of our mould issue in our en suite, which was the pipe for the extractor fan having a bend which meant it was not functioning as needed. Jason replaced the part and did all this…
