Cheltenham's older housing, the Regency conversions around Montpellier and the Victorian villas of Charlton Kings and Leckhampton in particular, often develops the kind of intermittent fault that is easy to live with for months and then suddenly impossible to ignore: a breaker that trips only on damp days, a socket that has quietly gone dead, lights that flicker when the kettle goes on.
Rather than resetting the board and hoping, we test methodically with calibrated equipment, tracking the fault to the exact circuit, connection or fitting causing it. Anything dangerous is made safe immediately, and we explain what we found in plain English with a fixed price to fix it, so a fault in a Cheltenham period property is diagnosed properly rather than guessed at.
Built for period wiring
We know how Cheltenham's older conversions were originally wired, which makes tracking an intermittent fault far quicker than starting from scratch.
Made safe immediately
Anything dangerous is isolated on the spot, before anything else happens.
Fixed and re-tested
The repair is tested under load so you know an intermittent fault is genuinely gone, not just resting until the next damp spell.
Your questions, answered
How much does fault finding cost in Cheltenham?
Fault finding typically costs between £80 and £150 for the first hour or two, which is usually enough to trace the problem in most Cheltenham homes. Describe the symptoms on the phone and we will give you an honest idea, then confirm a fixed price before any repair work starts.
Why does my fault only happen sometimes?
Intermittent faults are often caused by moisture in an outdoor fitting, a loose connection that only fails under load, or an ageing cable behind period plasterwork. We test circuit by circuit rather than guessing.
How quickly can you get to a Cheltenham property?
We keep space in the diary for faults, and anything that sounds dangerous is prioritised. Call and we'll give you an honest arrival time.
