Fault Finding & Repairs in Maidstone
The fault-finding calls we get from Maidstone cluster around the town-centre flat conversions, and there's a good reason for that. When a house is split into flats without the wiring being properly re-scoped, you end up with borrowed neutrals, circuits crossing between units and shared earths — and the symptom is an RCD that trips for no apparent reason, sometimes when a neighbour uses an appliance. That's not a fault you find by swapping accessories; it needs proper testing to isolate. Older rented stock around Tovil and Shepway throws up the more conventional version: aging circuits with failing insulation.

How it works
Diagnose
We isolate the fault methodically rather than guessing, using proper test equipment.
Repair
We fix or replace the faulty part and make the circuit safe.
Test
The circuit is re-tested to confirm it's sound before we leave.
“Called Gary at 4am he was at my house for 5am and stopped the leak from doing any further damage and arranged for the repair to be carried out by a plumber. Had him back a few weeks later to find the problem with a socket in my garage that kept tripping. He rewired it all for me and now it works perfect.”
“I phoned him on a Saturday morning. He said could he pop round later and give us a quote. He checked everything and said the job was quite straightforward. The price was very reasonable and Gary said he could fit them there and then. Gary is very knowledgeable, he explained everything and carried out the work cleanly and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gary.”
“I had a problem with my lights, I had no lights in the house at all. Gary came over to the house and got all the electricity sorted for us in under an hour, so I have no problem recommending him and his company for any electrical issues. He was clean and tidy, good value, friendly and fast.”
“Gary has completed work for me a number of times, including fitting a new kitchen light, repairing a broken plug socket, fitting Hive, fitting alarm/security system and changing light switches to dimmer switches. He always completes work to a high standard.”
Fault Finding in Maidstone — common questions
My Maidstone flat trips when my neighbour uses something — is that possible?
Yes, and it's a classic sign of a borrowed neutral or shared circuit from a poorly executed conversion. It's more common in older Maidstone conversions than people expect. It needs proper testing to prove which circuits are crossed, and the fix is usually re-routing and re-scoping the boards so each flat is genuinely independent.
How do you charge for fault finding?
We charge for the time to diagnose, then quote separately for the repair once we know what it actually is. We won't quote a repair price blind over the phone, because diagnosing properly is the job — guessing at parts and swapping accessories costs more in the end and often doesn't fix it.
Why does my RCD keep tripping?
Usually a faulty appliance or a circuit fault letting current leak to earth. We isolate the cause circuit by circuit rather than just resetting it.
Can you come out quickly?
