Fault Finding Electrician in Stockton-on-Tees
A trip that comes and goes, or sockets that have gone dead? We find the cause and tell you what it is before replacing anything.
Intermittent faults rarely show themselves while someone is looking. We test circuit by circuit until the fault shows up.
Then we explain what we found and fix it at the source.
