Electrical fault finding in Overton
Are breakers tripping, lights flickering or sockets failing in your Overton home? JD Electricals tests the affected circuit to locate the fault before recommending a repair. Mixed property ages mean problems can sit in old joints, later additions or individual fittings, so Jay follows the test evidence rather than guessing.
“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.”

How much does fault finding cost in Overton?
Electrical fault finding and repair in Overton starts from £75 per hour, which buys the visit, the testing and the time spent putting the fault right. An extra socket, when you want a new point rather than a repair on the old one, starts from £85.
- Both figures are starting prices, not a fixed bill for every Overton job.
- The hourly rate is for testing and repair on site; extra sockets are priced on their own from £85.
Fault finding in Overton
- A dead socket, flickering lights or a circuit that will not stay on in Overton is the fault finding work JD Electricals does for homeowners and landlords.
- When a breaker trips or a circuit goes dead, we test that circuit until we find the failed connection or fitting.
- A dead socket can be repaired on the existing point, or replaced with an extra socket from £85.
- Fault finding from £75 per hour is a booked visit; emergency electrician work is a separate service from £90 per hour.
Electrical faults in Overton houses
- Overton housing is mixed in age, so no single approach fits the village when we look for an electrical fault.
- Around Winchester Street, London Road and Station Road the housing ages are mixed, so we test the actual wiring rather than follow one pattern for every house.
- On a solid wall house, new cable is planned along voids or surface runs rather than chased into the wall.
- On older Overton stock, a report of what we find is usually money well spent before you buy, not only after a fault appears.
What happens on the day
On the day we arrive at the Overton property, confirm the fault you reported, then test, repair and leave the paperwork that belongs with the work.
- 01
Arrival at the property
We walk through the lights, sockets or circuits that fail and note how the house is wired before any covers come off.
- 02
Testing the fault
We test the affected circuit, isolate the cause, and give you a written price for the repair before we start it.
- 03
Repair and paperwork
We complete the repair, test again, and issue the electrical paperwork that belongs with the work done.
Other electrical work in Overton
An extra socket in Overton starts from £85 if you want a new point, and an EICR from £150 inspects the whole installation rather than one failed circuit.

Fault finding questions in Overton
Overton customers ask about the hourly rate, extra sockets, solid wall cable, EICR testing, and what happens after they book.
How much does fault finding cost in Overton?+
Electrical fault finding and repair starts from £75 per hour. That starting price buys the visit, the testing and the repair time, not a fixed total. Extra sockets start from £85 when you want a new point.
— James Dunn
Do you cover Winchester Street and Quidhampton?+
Yes. Winchester Street, London Road, Station Road, Bridge Street, Southington Lane and Quidhampton are all in the Overton coverage. We attend the property for the booked fault finding visit. The next step after booking is the test on site and a written price for the repair.
— James Dunn
Is fault finding the same as an EICR?+
No. Fault finding is a targeted test of the one circuit or fitting that has failed, from £75 per hour. An EICR is the landlord electrical safety certificate, a condition report on the whole installation from £150. On older Overton stock, that report before buying is usually money well spent if you need more than one failed item explained.
Can you run new cable in a solid wall Overton house?+
On a solid wall property, new cable is planned along voids or surface runs rather than chased into the wall. We look at how the house is built before we price any new cable. The written price comes after that look, not before.
Should I book fault finding or an emergency electrician?+
Fault finding from £75 per hour is the booked visit to find and repair a fault that can wait. Emergency electrician work is a separate service from £90 per hour. Book Online for the visit that matches how urgent the job is for you.
What paperwork do I get after a repair in Overton?+
You get the electrical paperwork that belongs with the work done. A minor works certificate starts from £95 when that is the right record for the repair. We confirm which document applies once the fault and the repair are known.
Can you fit extra sockets on the same visit?+
An extra socket starts from £85, separate from the £75 per hour fault finding rate. We price the new point in writing before we fit it. That starting price is not a fixed total for every extra socket.
I am buying an older house in Overton. Do I only need fault finding?+
On older Overton stock, a report before buying is usually money well spent. Fault finding explains one failure, while an EICR from £150 inspects the whole installation. After you book, we attend for the inspection or for the single fault, whichever you asked for.
