Most of the faults we find in Crawley come down to the age of the house. The early New Town neighbourhoods, West Green, Northgate, Langley Green and Southgate, were built in the early 1950s and a lot of the original wiring is still in service. Loose connections, damp in an outside light, an old cable rubbed through in a loft or a faulty appliance are the usual suspects. Newer homes in Maidenbower and Forge Wood get faults too, most often from a DIY job or a damaged cable under a floor.
We test circuit by circuit until we find the cause, then fix it properly rather than just resetting the trip. Most faults in Crawley are found and repaired in one visit and cost between £120 and £350. Tell us what is happening on the phone and we will give you an honest idea of the price. We confirm it before we start and anything that sounds dangerous goes to the front of the diary.
One visit, most of the time
We carry the common parts for the houses round here, so the fix usually happens the same day as the diagnosis.
Fixed, not reset
Resetting a trip that keeps going is not a repair. We find the reason and put it right.
Dangerous faults first
Burning smells, buzzing sockets or sparking get seen the same day.
Your questions, answered
My fuse box keeps tripping. What is the most likely cause in a Crawley house?
A faulty appliance, damp in an outside light or socket or a damaged cable are the top three. We unplug and test to narrow it down, then trace the circuit.
Half my sockets are dead. Is that serious?
It is usually a loose connection on one circuit and very fixable. Loose connections do get hot, so do not leave it. We can normally find it quickly.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No separate call-out fee. You pay for the fault finding and repair at a price agreed before we start.
