GERRARD’S ELECTRICAL SOLUTIONS
Fast fault finding and make-safe support when an electrical problem cannot wait.
Some electrical problems cannot reasonably wait for a routine appointment. Loss of power, burning smells, overheating equipment, repeated tripping or visible electrical damage can all indicate a fault that needs prompt attention.
Gerrard’s Electrical Solutions provides emergency electrical fault finding and make-safe work across Chester and surrounding areas. The priority is to identify the immediate risk, make the installation safe and restore appropriate power where this can be done safely.
If there is fire, smoke, arcing or an immediate risk to life, move away from the danger and contact the emergency services where appropriate. Do not keep resetting protective devices if they continue to trip.
Request urgent help →Emergency work is most effective when the cause is properly investigated. We use electrical test equipment to narrow down the fault, isolate unsafe sections where necessary and explain what is required for a permanent repair.
Testing is used to identify the affected circuit and narrow down the likely cause of the problem.
Unsafe equipment or wiring can be isolated so the immediate risk is controlled.
Where a permanent repair cannot be completed immediately, we explain the next steps and any temporary limitations.
Tell us what has happened, what is working and whether there are signs of burning or damage.
We attend with fault-finding equipment and common repair materials.
The affected circuits are tested and the immediate cause investigated.
We repair where practical or make the installation safe and explain any follow-on work.
For urgent electrical faults in Chester, contact Gerrard’s Electrical Solutions. For non-emergency recurring problems, our dedicated electrical fault-finding service may also be suitable.
Examples include burning or overheating, exposed live parts, repeated loss of supply caused by a fault, serious water ingress, or damage that makes the electrical installation unsafe.
No. If it trips again, there may be a fault that needs investigation. Repeatedly resetting a protective device without identifying the cause can be unsafe.
Where the fault can be safely repaired or an unaffected part of the installation can be safely restored, we will do so. Safety takes priority over restoring every circuit.
Where appropriate, we can document the fault, work carried out, limitations and any recommended follow-on repairs.
Contact Gerrard’s Electrical Solutions and tell us what has happened so we can assess the urgency and next steps.
