What changes the price of fault finding
Electrical fault finding and repair starts at £65 an hour. That hour buys testing on site, a named cause, and a figure for the repair before extra work begins.
- The rate is hourly because tracing a trip can take one test or several tests along the same circuit.
- Parts, a new fitting or a follow on repair are priced once the cause is known.
- A fuse board, a rewire or a landlord certificate is a separate service if testing shows the property needs that work.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppHow much does fault finding cost in Basingstoke?
JD Electricals charges £65 per hour — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.
How much to change a socket front?
Our rate for this work is £65 per hour. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.
How much does electrical fault finding cost?
Electrical fault finding and repair with JD Electricals starts at £65 an hour. That hour is testing and labour on site, because a trip can be one failed fitting or a longer hunt along the circuit. Parts and a different service get their own written price before that work starts.
Can you fix the fault on the same visit?
A repair you accept after the cause is named can be done on the same visit at £65 an hour. If the tests show a consumer unit, a rewire or another priced service, that work is quoted as itself. Hourly labour on the visit still covers the testing that reached that result.
Do you do fault finding in Basingstoke?
JD Electricals does electrical fault finding for homeowners and landlords in Basingstoke. The visit is for the circuit that is tripping or dead, not a survey of the whole house unless you book an EICR.
