Electrical repairs Southampton

Local electrical repairs in Southampton

We look after the electrics in homes across Southampton, from light fittings and sockets to fuse boxes and switches. Your electrician will repair the fault and any damaged wiring behind it.

Scorch marks on a socket or plug usually mean a connection has overheated. Your electrician will replace the damaged socket and check the wiring behind it for heat damage.

You can book online at any time and choose the date you want. We'll confirm the visit and let you know what to expect.

After finding the fault, your electrician will talk you through the repair before they begin. When the job is done, they'll make sure everything is safe to use.

We repair faults in every type of home, from flats to large family houses. Your electrician will explain each step, so you always know what's happening in your home.

If an appliance fuse keeps blowing, the cause may be a damaged plug or cable, a fault in the appliance or a faulty socket. Your electrician can test each one.

Adaptors and extension leads can overload a socket if too many appliances are used at once. If you rely on them a lot, your electrician can talk to you about adding extra sockets.

Electrical services in Southampton homes

Some faults are hard to pin down. The power might cut out now and then, or a circuit might trip only when certain appliances are on.

Our electrical fault finding service in Southampton traces the cause. Your electrician tests each circuit until they find the problem, then repairs it.

Loose connections, damaged cables, faulty appliances and damp in the wiring are all common causes.

It helps to make a note of when the fault happens before your visit, as this can point your electrician in the right direction.

Faults that come and go can be frustrating, but they're worth tracing early. A loose connection can heat up over time and damage the fitting or the cable.

Southampton Electrical Repairs FAQs

Find answers to common questions about electrical repairs in Southampton here. For anything else, see our FAQs.

Can a burning smell from a switch be dangerous?

It could be serious, so don't wait to get it checked. Burning smells usually point to overheating, often from a worn connection or an overloaded socket. Switch off the power at the fuse box if it's safe to reach. Then call us and we'll arrange an electrician.

Do I have to be in for the electrical repair?

Yes, please plan for someone to be in. Your electrician will ask what you've noticed, check the fault and explain the repair before starting. Choose a date when you or another adult can be home, and keep the way to your electricity meter clear.

Can you replace a consumer unit?

Yes. Our electricians can take out an old or faulty fuse box and fit a new consumer unit. They'll test your circuits first and explain the work before they begin. If your current fuse box can be repaired instead, they'll tell you.

Can you do an EICR on a rental property?

Yes, we do. An EICR is a formal check of the electrics in your rental property, and landlords need one every 5 years. Our electricians test the installation against the wiring regulations and list anything that needs fixing, which we can then put right.

Why are my LED lights flickering?

Usually there's a simple cause, like a bulb that isn't screwed in tightly. If the flicker happens in several rooms or when appliances switch on, there may be a fault in the wiring. In that case, book an electrician to trace it before it gets worse.
