Starting prices cover systematic testing to identify the cause of an electrical issue. Any replacement fittings or extensive remedial wiring are quoted separately.
- Fault finding is charged by time spent testing and isolating the issue at the property.
- Small immediate adjustments to wiring connections during testing are carried out where possible.
- Replacement components, accessories and distribution equipment are quoted before fitting.
- Planned maintenance schedules depend on property size and the quantity of installed equipment.

## Fault finding price questions

### How much does fault finding cost in Collier's Wood?

Bello Electrics Ltd charges £95 per hour — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.

### How much to change a socket front?

Our rate for this work is £95 per hour. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.

### Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?

A breaker or RCD trips due to an earth leakage fault, short circuit, or circuit overload. We test the circuit with meters to distinguish between a damaged cable, an overloaded socket, or a broken household appliance.

### How long does it take to find an electrical fault?

Many common faults are located within one to two hours of systematic testing. Complex faults concealed inside floors or walls can require additional diagnostic time to trace without opening unaffected sections of the building.

### Can you repair the issue during the same appointment?

If the problem is a loose wire, damaged socket faceplate, or faulty switch module that we carry in stock, we fix it immediately. If the fault requires specialised components or extensive rewiring, we make the circuit safe and quote the repair.
