Repairs we carry out
Cracked or loose sockets and switches, scorched plug tops, damaged flexes, broken light fittings, faulty outdoor sockets and cables nicked during DIY or building work. We also repair circuits after a fault has been traced, replacing damaged sections of cable or accessories so the circuit is safe to use again.

Repair or replace?
Some accessories are cheaper to replace than repair, especially if they're old or the wrong type for where they are. If wiring is damaged in several places or very old, a repair may only be a short-term fix. We'll explain the options honestly and let you choose.

What's safe to do yourself
Changing a light bulb or resetting a tripped switch is fine to do yourself. Anything that means opening up a socket, switch or fitting, or working on fixed wiring, is best left to an electrician. Damaged cables, scorch marks or a smell of burning should always be checked by a qualified person.
What to expect from electrical repairs
Tell us what's broken and, if you can, send a photo. On the visit, we isolate the circuit, open up the damaged part and check the wiring behind it for heat damage or loose connections. That way we fix the cause, not just the part you can see.
Simple repairs can often be finished on the same visit. If a repair needs special parts or more time, we'll quote for it first. After the repair, the circuit is tested, and you get a Minor Works Certificate where the work alters a circuit.

Electrical repairs questions
Is a scorched or warm socket in South Croydon dangerous?
Yes, it can be. Scorch marks or a socket that feels warm usually mean a loose connection or an overloaded socket, both of which can overheat. Stop using it, switch off the circuit if you can and have it checked. We'll replace the socket and check the cable behind it.
Can you repair a cable I've drilled through in Croydon?
Yes. Switch off the circuit straight away and don't use it. We'll expose the damaged section, join or replace the cable using a method that's suitable for inside walls, and test the circuit before switching it back on. It's a common DIY accident and usually a quick fix.
Do you charge to come out and look at a repair in South Croydon?
No, there's no call-out charge. We look at the problem, explain what's needed and give you the cost before starting anything beyond a quick fix. If you'd like time to think about a bigger repair, there's no pressure to go ahead there and then.
Will I get a certificate for an electrical repair?
For like-for-like repairs, such as replacing a damaged socket, a certificate isn't always required, but we still test the work. Where a repair alters or extends a circuit, you'll get a Minor Works Certificate to show it was tested and meets the wiring regulations.
