Don’t Ignore the Signs: Electrical Faults Can Be Dangerous
A flickering light. A tripping fuse. An unusual smell near a socket. These may seem like minor issues — but they’re often early warnings of more serious electrical faults developing behind the scenes.
At Two40 Electrical, we provide fast, accurate, and compliant fault-finding and electrical repair services across Somerset, North Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Devon, London, and Gloucestershire. Whether you’re in a rural cottage, a modern office, or a holiday caravan, we’ll get to the heart of the issue quickly and safely.
What Exactly Is an Electrical Fault?
Electrical faults come in many forms. Some are immediately noticeable, like a sudden power loss or sparks from a socket. Others develop gradually and silently, posing increasing risks if left unchecked.
Common faults we identify and repair include:
- Power loss to specific circuits or rooms
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Buzzing light switches or warm sockets
- Overheating wiring and the smell of burning plastic
- Constantly tripping RCDs or circuit breakers
- Damaged consumer units or outdated wiring
- Wiring issues in static caravans or touring vans
Whether it’s a farmhouse in Wiltshire, a café in North Somerset, or a guest lodge in Dorset, we bring the same urgency and expertise to every job.
How We Diagnose Electrical Problems
At Two40 Electrical, fault finding is not guesswork — it’s a process backed by advanced diagnostic tools and years of hands-on experience.
We use:
- Thermal imaging to detect overheating components
- Continuity and insulation resistance testers to locate wiring faults
- Load and RCD testing to ensure safe current flow
- Visual inspections guided by BS 7671 safety regulations
Our engineers work efficiently, minimising disruption while ensuring the highest level of safety and compliance.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Delaying fault repairs can have serious consequences:
- Fire Hazards – Faulty wiring is a major cause of domestic and commercial fires.
- System Failures – One small issue can lead to a full electrical breakdown.
- Insurance Risk – Non-compliant systems may invalidate your cover.
- Property Damage – Electrical faults can damage appliances, infrastructure, and building fabric.
Proactive diagnosis protects people, property, and peace of mind.
