Fuse Box Repair
Is your fuse box causing electrical problems?
If your fuse box keeps tripping, won’t reset, or parts of your property keep losing power, it could be a sign of an electrical fault that needs professional attention. Problems with your consumer unit should never be ignored, as they can affect the safety and reliability of your electrical system.
Faulty breakers, overloaded circuits, damaged wiring, or outdated fuse boxes are some of the most common causes of power issues in homes and businesses. While some faults may seem minor at first, repeated tripping or burning smells can indicate a more serious problem developing behind the scenes.
Our emergency electricians are available 24/7 to diagnose fuse box and consumer unit faults quickly and safely. We use professional testing equipment to identify the issue, carry out reliable repairs, and restore your electrics with minimal disruption.
Whether your fuse board won’t reset, keeps cutting power, or needs urgent attention, we’re here to help with fast response times, clear communication, and upfront pricing from start to finish.
Why Is My Fuse Box Tripping?
If your fuse box keeps tripping, it’s usually a sign that something within your electrical system isn’t working properly. Common causes include overloaded circuits, faulty appliances, damaged wiring, moisture issues, or problems within the consumer unit itself.
While resetting the breaker may temporarily restore power, repeated tripping often points to an underlying fault that needs professional attention. Our electricians quickly diagnose the problem, carry out safe repairs, and make sure your electrical system is operating safely again.
If certain appliances, sockets, or lighting circuits trigger the issue, this can often help identify where the fault is coming from. We’ll safely trace the problem and restore your power with minimal disruption.
Common Fuse Box & Consumer Unit Problems
Fuse box problems can cause sudden power loss, repeated tripping, or electrical safety concerns. Below are some of the most common issues we diagnose and repair.

Fuse Box Keeps Tripping
If your fuse box trips repeatedly, it could be caused by overloaded circuits, faulty wiring, or an electrical fault that needs immediate attention.

Faulty Circuit Breakers
Damaged or worn circuit breakers can fail unexpectedly and cause parts of your property to lose power or trip without warning.

Outdated Consumer Units
Older fuse boxes may struggle to cope with modern electrical demand and could require repairs or upgrades to improve safety and reliability.
What To Do If Your Fuse Box Trips
If your fuse box keeps tripping or won’t reset, follow these simple safety steps before calling an electrician.
Unplug appliances
Disconnect electrical devices to rule out overloaded circuits or faulty appliances causing the issue.
Reset the breaker once
If it’s safe to do so, try resetting the breaker a single time. If it trips again, stop and seek professional help.
Avoid repeated resetting
Repeatedly resetting a tripping fuse box can worsen the fault and create a safety risk.
Watch for warning signs
Burning smells, buzzing sounds, or warm sockets can indicate a serious electrical problem requiring urgent attention.
Electrical faults within a fuse box should always be inspected and repaired by a qualified electrician.

Ben came out in a hour as promised and fixed the issue as well as found another problem with our socket we didnt know about and fixed that too saved us a expensive bill later down the line great servicePosted on Matthew WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent job - prompt and efficient!Posted on A RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super fast service. Came out on a bank holiday and sorted it quickly. Thank you.Posted on JessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got a call out to fix our lights on a bank holiday and Steven was super helpful and informative. Also managed to solve our shower issue at the same time. Fixed the issues and was very knowledgeable and happy to talk us through the issues and how he resolved them. Clean and tidy while working and got excellent value for money. Would reccomend to anyone. Thank you so much to Steven.Posted on Martin DonaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say. I am so paranoid about electricity. Decided to finally wall mount my Dyson vacuum cleaner after 3 years just before Easter. 5 minute job, except when the drill hits a live cable buried in the wall which wasn't picked up by a cable tester. Can't understand why I wasn't thrown across the kitchen as the drill bit was fried. Fridge, cooker etc dead as rfd tripped. I'm thinking, great, that's easter stuffed as I'll never get someone out to fix this. Once reset, all working again except there's a damaged fire potential cable lurking behind the plaster . One of those should have just left it moments! Anyway, phoned electrition contacts out of local directory no availability. Google emergency call outs and this local company appears with great feedback. Make the call, owner, I presume Steve, is out walking the dog but says I will be called back straight away which I am. Upfront cost explained and someone will be round in half an hour. That's exactly what happened, problem sorted plus a few other bits and pieces by a very personable Albanian gentleman. Turns out, if I'd been a few centimeters higher or lower I would have missed it as it was running horizontally! Yes cost a bit more than I was anticipating, but Easter would have been a right off and all was sorted very quickly, very professionally and I did not feel duped at all. So many thanks, great service and would recommend you to anyone in an emergency or just looking at getting some electrical work carried out.Posted on Pauline GuillembetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Stephen on Sunday for an emergency and he was at my house in under 30 minutes. Really efficient, polite and professional and the price was very fair for a Sunday call-out. Great service and would definitely recommend.Posted on David BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

All good David BPosted on Penny JarrettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Highly recommend!Posted on Kevin Fane-SaundersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found that Stephen was highly professional and went out of his way to ensure that I was a satisfied customer. I simply cannot praise my experience adequately to convey my gratitude and am more than happy to recommend him.Posted on Josh SnellingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
