- Fault Finding & Repairs
Electrical faults can appear without warning – tripping circuits, flickering lights, buzzing sockets, or appliances suddenly losing power. These issues can be inconvenient at best, and at worst, potentially dangerous if left unresolved. At 12 Electrical & Emergency Electrician Ltd, we provide expert fault finding and repair services designed to quickly diagnose and fix electrical problems in domestic properties across South Wales, Bristol, Gloucester, Cheltenham, and Weston-super-Mare.
With over a decade of experience and full NAPIT certification, our electricians are trained to identify issues efficiently, repair faults safely, and ensure your home’s electrical system is operating exactly as it should.
Fast & Accurate Electrical Fault Diagnosis
Electrical faults can stem from damaged wiring, loose connections, overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, water ingress, or ageing electrical systems. Our skilled engineers use specialist testing equipment to trace problems to their source — whether the issue is localised to a single outlet or affecting an entire circuit.
We carry out a thorough check of:
- Sockets, switches & fittings
- Lighting circuits
- Consumer units and RCDs
- Power circuits and appliance points
- Wiring condition and continuity
- Earthing & bonding
- Signs of overheating, burning or arcing
Once the issue is identified, we’ll explain what’s causing the problem in clear, simple terms and carry out repairs safely and professionally.

Safe, Compliant & Long-Lasting Repairs
We don’t believe in quick fixes that only mask the problem. Every repair is completed to the highest standard using compliant materials and correct wiring techniques. Once the repair is complete, we fully test the affected circuits to ensure they are safe, stable, and functioning correctly before leaving your home.
If we identify any underlying issues – such as ageing wiring or an overloaded consumer unit – we will provide honest advice and recommendations with no pressure to commit to further work.
