How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies?
Our emergency electrical repair response aims for arrival within 1-2 hours for urgent Birmingham call-outs, depending on location and current demand. We prioritize dangerous situations and complete power failures for fastest response times. Non-emergency repairs are typically scheduled within 24-48 hours, while routine electrical repairs can often be completed same-day when parts are readily available.
What electrical problems do you commonly repair?
Common electrical repairs include tripping RCDs and circuit breakers, dead socket outlets and lighting circuits, faulty switches, flickering lights, overheating electrical equipment, and intermittent power supply issues. We also repair consumer unit faults, wiring problems, earthing issues, and electrical safety device malfunctions. Our Birmingham electricians handle both simple component replacements and complex circuit fault finding and repairs.
Can you find electrical faults without damaging my property?
Yes, our electrical fault finding uses advanced diagnostic equipment and non-destructive testing methods to locate problems without unnecessary damage to your Birmingham property. We use cable fault locators, thermal imaging, and systematic testing procedures to pinpoint faults accurately. When access is required, we minimize disruption and coordinate with you to reduce any necessary investigation work to property surfaces.
Do electrical repairs come with warranty coverage?
Yes, all electrical repairs by The Electrical Folks include warranty coverage on workmanship and replacement components. Repair warranties typically cover 6-12 months depending on work type, with manufacturer warranties on electrical components. We guarantee repair work quality and provide ongoing support if issues arise with repaired circuits, giving you confidence in the reliability of our Birmingham electrical repair services.
Can you repair old electrical systems safely?
Yes, our experienced electricians specialize in repairing older electrical systems while maintaining safety and bringing installations closer to current standards where possible. We can repair aging wiring, upgrade components to modern equivalents, and improve safety features during repair work. However, some older Birmingham properties may benefit from partial rewiring rather than continued repairs for optimal safety and reliability.
What should I do if my RCD keeps tripping?
If your RCD keeps tripping, switch off all circuits and appliances, then try resetting the RCD. If it stays on, gradually switch circuits back one at a time to identify the problematic circuit. If the RCD continues tripping or won't reset, call for emergency electrical repairs as this indicates a potentially dangerous fault requiring professional diagnosis and repair by qualified Birmingham electricians.
Can electrical repairs be completed the same day?
Most electrical repairs in Birmingham can be completed same-day when common replacement parts are available and faults are straightforward to diagnose and fix. Simple repairs like socket replacements, switch repairs, and basic circuit faults typically take 1-3 hours. Complex faults requiring specialist parts or extensive investigation may require follow-up visits, but we strive to restore power and safety as quickly as possible.
Do you provide certificates after electrical repairs?
Yes, significant electrical repairs include appropriate certification such as Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificates or Electrical Installation Certificates depending on work scope. All repairs undergo safety testing with documented results provided. The Electrical Folks ensure repair work complies with current electrical standards and provide necessary documentation for insurance, property records, and future electrical work requirements in your Birmingham property.
