Your local electricians in Lisvane

Big properties with long cable runs. Finding the fault takes method.

Lisvane's homes are among the largest in Cardiff, often with several consumer units, detached garages, garden offices, pool or hot tub supplies and long runs of outdoor cable. A fault anywhere along those runs can trip circuits in the main house.

We work through the installation methodically, testing each part until the fault is found, rather than guessing. Once it is fixed, we make sure every protective device is doing its job.

Common call-outs in Lisvane:

  • Outbuilding supply failures
  • Hot tub and pool circuits
  • Electric gate power loss
  • Garden lighting faults
  • Multiple boards tripping
  • EV charger problems

In an electrical emergency

Stay safe until we arrive.

What to do in the first few minutes, while a qualified electrician is on the way to you.

Step 1

Switch off at the main switch

If it is safe to reach and your hands are dry, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit. That cuts power to the whole property.

Step 2

Do not touch anything damaged

Keep away from sockets, switches or cables that are sparking, hot, buzzing or wet. Never try to fix them yourself.

Step 3

Unplug what you safely can

If one circuit keeps tripping, unplug the appliances on it. A faulty kettle, heater or washing machine is often the cause.

Step 4

Check if neighbours have power

If the whole street is dark it is a network fault. Call 105 to report it to the network operator. If it is only you, call us.

Step 5

Smoke or fire: get out, call 999

If you see smoke or flames, leave the property straight away and call 999. Do not go back in. Call us once everyone is safe.

Step 6

Call us and keep everyone clear

Tell us what you can see, hear or smell. We will talk you through staying safe and give you an honest arrival time.

Warning signs

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Common questions from customers in Lisvane. Still unsure? Call us and a qualified electrician will talk it through.

Our hot tub keeps tripping the power. Is it the tub or the supply?

It can be either. We test the supply cable, its protection and the connection to the tub, and tell you if the fault is in the tub itself so you can call its supplier.

We have power in the house but not in the garden office. Why?

The underground cable, a sub-board or its protection may have failed. We test the run from end to end to locate the fault.

Can you label our consumer units so we know which is which?

Yes. Clear labelling makes future emergencies much easier, and we are happy to do it while we are there.
