Basic fault checks

A basic fault check is the right first check for local lighting faults around a fitting, switch, dimmer or one small area.

Serving Brent, wider NW London, and selected West London postcodes. Send your postcode and 2–4 clear photos for a clear first answer.

This suits local problems such as a dead fitting, intermittent light, suspect switch accessory or trips linked to one point or one small area. It is not sold as a full inspection of the whole installation. If the first check points to wider age, damage or safety issues, the next step may move to deeper testing or a larger quote.

Useful first details

  • Your postcode and which room or fitting is affected.
  • 2–4 photos showing the fitting, switch or dimmer, and any visible damage.
  • A short note on whether it is dead, intermittent, tripping, hot, buzzing or recently changed.

What can change the scope

  • The aim is to find the likely cause and next step quickly.
  • Wider installation concerns may need a broader inspection.
