This service covers inspection, fault diagnosis, repair, and related electrical checks for a consumer unit, with the aim of restoring safe and reliable operation where practicable.
The consumer unit and surrounding installation are reviewed for safe access, visible damage, labelling, isolation arrangements, and any signs of overheating, moisture ingress, or previous alteration. Relevant circuit information, reported symptoms, and site constraints are noted before work proceeds.
A structured review is carried out to identify the likely fault, confirm the scope of the consumer unit issue, and determine whether the matter relates to the unit itself, a connected circuit, protective devices, or an upstream supply condition. Specialist qualifications may be required for regulated electrical work and testing.
Where appropriate, defective components are repaired or replaced, connections are tightened and checked, and any necessary remedial work is completed within the agreed scope. The work remains limited to the condition of the installation, access available, and the suitability of existing equipment for repair.
Safety checks and functional testing are completed to confirm correct operation of protective devices, circuit isolation, and restored supply to affected circuits where possible. Testing may include verification of tripping performance, polarity, continuity, and other relevant checks according to the fault and installation type.
The outcome of the inspection and any remedial work is summarised, including faults identified, work completed, outstanding defects, and any limitations that remain. Where further action is required, the findings are explained clearly so that the next stage of remedial work can be planned.
