When an electrical fault only happens occasionally, the smallest detail you notice can make a big difference.

We recently attended a property in Tiverton to investigate an RCD that had been tripping intermittently.

The difficulty with intermittent faults is that everything can be working perfectly normally by the time we arrive. That’s why one of the first things we want to understand is what the customer has noticed.

In this case, there was a pattern.

The customer told us the RCD seemed to trip roughly every other day when the dishwasher was being used.

They didn’t need to know why it was happening. That simple observation gave us somewhere useful to start.

We ran the dishwasher on a rapid cycle and watched what happened. Initially, everything operated normally. Then the dishwasher reached the stage where the pump started emptying the sump.

The RCD tripped.

We had successfully reproduced the intermittent fault and, importantly, narrowed the investigation down to a particular appliance and stage of its operation.

That’s valuable evidence. It doesn’t, by itself, prove exactly which component is ultimately responsible – but it gives us a much clearer direction for the next stage of fault finding.

Good fault finding isn’t about guessing or immediately replacing parts. It’s about gathering evidence, reproducing the problem where possible and gradually narrowing down the possibilities.

So if you’ve got an intermittent electrical problem, tell your electrician everything you’ve noticed – when it happens, what’s running and whether there’s a pattern.

You don’t need to diagnose the fault yourself. Sometimes the information you provide is one of the most useful diagnostic tools we have.

When you hear “variation” during a project, do you immediately think “unexpected extra cost”?

It shouldn’t mean that.

We’re currently carrying out a full rewire where two changes arose after the original quotation had been agreed — but for two very different reasons.

The original quotation allowed for the existing consumer unit to remain. As the rewire progressed and the requirements of the completed installation became clear, we established that the existing board didn’t have sufficient capacity or the right protection and configuration for the new installation.

That created the first variation: a change that became necessary because an assumption made at quotation stage was no longer appropriate once the full requirements were known.

The second came through further discussion with the customer. An electric shower hadn’t been included in the original scope, but the customer wanted one installed.

With the property already being rewired and cable routes accessible, this was the sensible time to install the new shower circuit rather than waiting until the walls and finishes had been reinstated.

Two variations. Two completely different reasons.

And that’s really what a variation is.

A quotation records what we’ve agreed to do based on the information and requirements available at the time. If something subsequently changes, a variation clearly records what has changed, why, and the additional cost before that work proceeds.

We document our variations separately so there’s a clear distinction between the original quotation and anything subsequently agreed.

A good quotation defines what we’ve agreed to do. A good variation defines what we’ve subsequently agreed to change.

No surprises on the final invoice. Just clear communication as the project develops.

The best electrical work often happens before the walls are even closed.

When most people picture an electrician’s work, they think of the finished sockets, switches and lights. What many don’t realise is that some of the most important decisions are made long before any of those are fitted.

We’re currently carrying out the first-fix electrical installation during the complete refurbishment of a property in Tiverton. Good planning now means fewer compromises later.

The clue came as soon as we walked onto site. Instead of working around an existing installation, the property had been stripped back to its structural shell, giving us a genuine blank canvas.

It’s easy to assume that first fix is simply a case of running cables from A to B. In reality, this is the stage where every cable route, accessory position and future connection needs to be carefully planned before the walls are closed and the plasterboard goes up.

Working with the exposed structure allowed every cable run to be planned and installed methodically, coordinating with the building work and creating an installation that will be safe, practical and easy to maintain for years to come.

By the time the refurbishment is finished, none of this work will be visible. The cables will be hidden behind plasterboard and the only things on show will be the finished sockets, switches and lighting.

Sometimes the most important part of an electrical installation is the part that’s hidden behind the walls.

Modern electrical installations don’t just need power… they often need reliable Wi-Fi too.

We recently visited a rural property in East Village, near Crediton, where the customer was experiencing poor Wi-Fi coverage due to the property’s thick stone walls.

The home relies on an EE cellular broadband connection, which worked well in some areas but struggled to provide a reliable signal where it was needed most. With connected technology becoming an increasing part of modern homes, the customer wanted to future-proof the installation.

One clue stood out straight away. Their existing Pod Point EV charger had always struggled with connectivity, and with future smart meters expected to make greater use of customers’ own Wi-Fi networks, it made sense to solve the wider coverage issue rather than just one individual problem.

After assessing the property, we designed and installed a weatherproof external networking system using SWA Cat5e cable, Power over Ethernet (PoE) equipment and two outdoor Wi-Fi access points housed within robust weatherproof enclosures.

By taking the network outside the building and distributing the signal externally, we were able to provide reliable coverage where the property’s construction had previously made that difficult.

Modern electrical installations are becoming increasingly connected. EV chargers, energy management systems and smart metering technology all depend on reliable communication as much as they do reliable electrical supplies.

Sometimes the right solution isn’t adding another electrical circuit — it’s making sure the technology has the reliable network connection it needs to do its job.

Not everything electrical is as straightforward as it looks.

We recently installed this Samsung induction hob and noticed something that can easily be missed if you’re unfamiliar with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Many modern ceramic and induction hobs are designed to be installed in different countries and on different supply arrangements. Because of this, they often have multiple connection options within the terminal block.

In this case, the hob can be connected to either one or two supplies. For a typical UK domestic installation, a link must be fitted between the terminals as shown in the manufacturer’s wiring diagram.

Miss that small detail and you could end up with only part of the hob working correctly.

It’s a good example of why electrical installation isn’t always just about connecting the cables. Understanding the manufacturer’s requirements is just as important as making the connections themselves.

Sometimes it’s the small details that make all the difference.

Sometimes it’s the things you don’t see that provide the greatest protection.

When we install or replace consumer units, we now include a heat-activated aerosol fire suppression device as an additional layer of safety.

The device sits inside the consumer unit and is designed to activate automatically in the unlikely event of a fire developing within the enclosure. Once activated, it releases a fire-suppressing aerosol to help extinguish the fire and limit damage.

Modern consumer units are already designed with multiple safety features, including RCBO protection and surge protection devices. This additional device simply provides another layer of protection and peace of mind.

In many cases, if a fault were to develop within a consumer unit, limiting the spread of fire and damage could make a significant difference to the repair required afterwards.

For that reason, we’ve made these devices a standard part of our consumer unit upgrades and replacements, and we also regularly recommend them following EICR inspections where appropriate.

Electrical safety is often about reducing risk wherever possible, and sometimes the smallest additions can provide valuable protection when it matters most.

Not Every Heating Problem Is a Plumbing Problem

We were recently contacted by a customer whose heating and hot water system appeared to be running continuously.

An S-Plan heating system relies on a combination of controls, motorised valves, thermostats and wiring all working together correctly. When one component fails, it can often mimic the symptoms of a fault elsewhere in the system.

The customer had already had the two-port motorised valves replaced, as these are a common cause of heating control issues. However, the problem remained.

One clue stood out during our visit: the customer mentioned that the hot water coming from the taps was becoming excessively hot.

That pointed us towards the hot water cylinder controls rather than the valves themselves.

After carrying out a series of tests, we identified a faulty cylinder thermostat which was continually calling for heat and never signalling the system to switch off. As a result, the boiler continued running and the cylinder temperature kept rising.

We sourced the replacement thermostat, carried out the installation, tested the controls, and returned the system to normal operation.

Heating control systems can involve a surprising amount of electrical fault finding. While many people associate heating systems solely with plumbing, modern heating and hot water controls rely heavily on electrical components and control wiring working together correctly.

Sometimes the key to solving a fault isn’t replacing parts — it’s understanding how the whole system is supposed to operate.

High-level electrical work requires more than just a ladder.

This week we carried out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) inspection within St John the Baptist Church.

Buildings like this present additional challenges when it comes to inspection and maintenance, particularly with high-level lighting and electrical equipment positioned well above normal working height.

Working at height can be dangerous without the correct equipment and preparation. Using the proper access tower allowed us to carry out the inspection safely, thoroughly, and without compromise.

For us, it’s not just about completing the job — it’s about carrying out the work properly, safely, and to the standard the customer should expect.

Having the right equipment available means we can confidently undertake inspections, maintenance, and electrical works in more complex environments where access is a major part of the project.

Buying a new home? Don’t forget… you inherit the electrics too.

We were asked to take a look at the setup in this property after the new owner moved in — and straight away it was clear an upgrade was needed.

The existing consumer unit was an older MK Century board, mounted high up with no spare ways and limited flexibility for any future work.

Not ideal — especially when you want something safe, accessible, and ready for the years ahead.

So we:
✔ Replaced the outdated consumer unit
✔ Installed a modern board with room for future additions
✔ Relocated it to a more practical height
✔ Fully reorganised and labelled the installation

Now everything is:
✔ Safer
✔ Easier to access
✔ Set up for future improvements

It’s not just about how it looks on the outside — what’s behind the cover matters most.

Intermittent electrical faults are often the hardest to diagnose — especially when nothing looks obviously wrong.

We were recently called out to a property where the breaker was intermittently tripping. The initial concern was that one of the heaters may have been causing the issue.

After testing all heaters and finding no immediate faults, we began tracing the circuit and looking at other likely causes — particularly anything exposed to potential moisture.

On further inspection, we came across a socket in a lower-level bedroom where external ground levels were higher than the internal wall. Although nothing was immediately obvious from the front, closer inspection showed signs of corrosion.

Once removed, the issue became clear — significant moisture ingress had caused internal corrosion and contamination on the conductors.

Faults like this can be difficult to diagnose. They often start as intermittent trips and gradually worsen over time as the damage increases.

To make the installation safe, we removed the socket, terminated the conductors securely within an enclosure, and advised on the underlying issue that would need to be resolved before reinstating the outlet.

Another good example of why electrical faults aren’t always where you expect them — and why proper investigation matters.
