Common signs are an old fuse board with rewirable fuses, sockets or switches that scorch or feel warm, lights that flicker or dim, frequent tripping, and old rubber- or fabric-covered cabling. An inspection will tell you for certain, and whether a full or a partial rewire is the right answer.

First, look at which switch has tripped. If it's a single circuit breaker (MCB), the problem is usually on that circuit: too many appliances running at once, or a fault in one appliance or in the wiring. If it's an RCD or RCBO (these have a small test button), it has detected electricity leaking to earth, often from a faulty appliance or from water getting into an outside light, socket or junction box.

To narrow it down, switch off and unplug everything on the affected circuit, reset the switch, then plug things back in one at a time. If it trips when a particular appliance goes on, that appliance is the likely cause. Kettles, ovens, immersion heaters, washing machines and outdoor equipment are common culprits.

Never hold a switch on, tape it up or fit a higher-rated breaker. If it won't reset with everything unplugged, trips with nothing in use, or you notice a burning smell, scorch marks or a hot consumer unit, switch off at the main switch if it's safe to do so and call us on 02922 780 300. We'll test the circuits, find the fault and put it right.
