How much does fault finding cost in Ashby-de-la-Zouch?
The price of a fault finding visit in Ashby-de-la-Zouch depends on the symptom and how far the testing has to go. The figure covers the visit and leaving the installation safe, with parts and further work always priced in writing before they go ahead.
Included when agreed
- Visual inspection of the consumer unit, accessible cables, switches, and sockets on the affected circuit
- Dead testing to check conductor continuity, polarity, and insulation resistance
- Live testing to measure operating voltages and earth fault loop impedance
- Isolating dangerous or compromised wiring to leave the property safe
- Clear explanation of the problem found along with transparent options for repair
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- The visit covers inspection of the consumer unit and meter testing of the affected circuit until the cause is found.
- Making a damaged section safe by isolating it, so the rest of the property keeps power, is included.
- New cable, replacement accessories and work on other circuits are quoted in writing before they begin.
- Opening a wall or floor to reach a cable is talked through first, and plaster repair afterwards is not part of the job.

We serve Ashby-de-la-Zouch from our base in Swadlincote.
What happens on the day
Every fault visit starts with what you have seen, whether that is a breaker dropping, a dead socket or a burning smell. From there the work moves through the consumer unit, meter readings on the suspect circuit and the repair itself.
- Your account of the faultThe visit opens with what happened: when the breaker first tripped, which sockets or lights stopped working, and any smell of burning or brown marks on a fitting. That account points the first checks, so clear space around the consumer unit, the box housing the breakers and safety switches, helps testing begin sooner.
- Readings on the suspect circuitWith the suspect circuit switched off, the meter measures insulation resistance, continuity and polarity. Worn insulation and broken conductors inside walls and floors show up in those readings without a single wall being opened, and only that circuit loses power.
- Pinning the fault to a pointEach reading narrows the cause down to a fitting, a joint or a stretch of cable. Sockets, switches and junctions on that run are opened one by one and checked for loose terminals, heat damage and moisture until the exact cause shows.
- Fixed there and then, or made safeA loose terminal or failed accessory is repaired during the visit where the right part is on the van. Where the fix needs new cable or more labour, the faulty stretch stays switched off so the rest of the property keeps power, and a written quote sets out the work.
