Diagnosis & Repair
Electrical fault finding & repairs in Solihull
When something electrical stops working, or keeps tripping, the answer is a proper diagnosis, not guesswork. DGC Electrical finds and fixes electrical faults across Solihull methodically, so the problem is solved rather than patched over.
What we fix
Faults we diagnose and repair
Electrical faults rarely announce themselves clearly, a circuit that trips at random, a socket that works one day and not the next, a light that flickers for no obvious reason. We work through the installation systematically to find the actual cause, then put it right. Common faults we're called out to include:
- An RCD or breaker that keeps tripping
- Part of the property with no power
- Dead or intermittent sockets
- Lighting that fails or flickers
- Loose, damaged or overheating connections
- Faults after DIY work or water damage
A methodical approach
Chasing an electrical fault by swapping parts is slow and expensive. Instead we test to isolate the cause, then repair with confidence. When we attend, you can expect:
- Systematic testing to isolate the cause
- A clear explanation of what's wrong
- The repair options and cost before we proceed
- The fault put right and re-tested
- Advice on preventing a repeat

Fault finding FAQs
Common questions
Why does my RCD keep tripping?
It's usually a fault on a circuit or appliance causing a small leakage to earth. We test each circuit to find the source rather than just resetting it.
Can you find intermittent faults?
Yes, intermittent faults take a methodical approach, and that's exactly how we work through them.
Do you offer emergency or out-of-hours call-outs?
Our standard hours are Monday to Friday 08:00 to 18:00 and Saturday mornings; call us as early as you can and we'll fit urgent faults in as quickly as possible.
How much does fault finding cost?
The cost depends on the nature of the fault and how long it takes to trace, we'll be clear about any charge before we start and quote the repair before proceeding.
