FAQs

Why are my lights flickering?

Often caused by loose bulbs, but consistent flickering may indicate loose wiring or circuit issues that require professional inspection.

What should I do if an outlet smells "fishy" or like burning?

This is a sign of serious overheating or arching; you should turn off the power at the main breaker and call an electrician immediately.

What is an RCD?

These are life-saving safety devices that instantly cut power if they detect a current leakage to ground, protecting against electric shocks.

Why is my MCB circuit breaker tripping?

This is often due to a circuit overload (too many devices plugged in), a short circuit, or a ground fault.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the safety of a property’s permanent wiring. In 2026, landlords are typically required to have every 5 years.

Do you provide free quotes/estimates?

Yes, we offer free, no-obligation quotations for most electrical work.

Will you install electrical items that I supply?

We can install customer-supplied items, but we recommend purchasing through us as we cannot offer a warranty or guarantee on third-party parts.

What is the "green goo" leaking from my electrical outlets & switches?

It is a sticky, dark green, oily substance that can be found oozing from electrical sockets, switches, or light fittings. Its correct name is "cable greening". It is the result of a chemical reaction between the copper conductors and the plasticiser in the PVC (polyvinyl chloride) insulation of older cables (typically those installed in properties built or rewired between the mid-1960s and early 1970s). Green goo is a significant safety hazard and a sign that your electrical installation is degrading.
