A tripping RCD, a dead socket or lights that flicker for no obvious reason can be frustrating – and sometimes dangerous. Atlas Electrical provides electrical fault finding in Nottingham, using professional test equipment to locate the cause quickly and repair it properly, rather than guessing.
Faults We Diagnose
- RCDs or circuit breakers that trip repeatedly
- Partial or complete loss of power
- Sockets, lights or appliances that have stopped working
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Burning smells, buzzing or warm accessories
- Nuisance tripping when certain appliances are used
How We Find the Fault
Many faults are intermittent or hidden inside walls, so we work methodically. Our electrician isolates each circuit, carries out insulation resistance and continuity tests, and checks accessories, junction boxes and appliances until the problem is pinpointed. Common causes include water ingress, damaged cables, loose connections, failing appliances and deteriorating older wiring.
Repairing the Problem
Once the fault is found we will explain it in plain English and, in most cases, repair it on the same visit. If the investigation shows a wider issue – such as an ageing consumer unit or wiring that needs replacing – we will give you a clear quote before any further work. For a full health check of your installation, consider an EICR.
Fault Finding FAQs
Is it safe to keep resetting a tripping RCD?
An RCD trips to protect you. If it keeps tripping, unplug appliances and call an electrician rather than repeatedly resetting it.
Do you offer urgent call-outs?
Yes – see our emergency electrician service.
