Mixed-age…" canonical: "https://jd-electricals.co.uk/electrician-overton/electrical-fault-finding" --- # Electrical fault finding in Overton > 5.0 Star from 10 reviews · Covering Basingstoke, Kempshott and Hatch Warren · Call 07307 211625 · Electrical fault finding in Overton RG25. Mixed-age… 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. ## 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. - Electrical fault finding and repair: from £65/hr - 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. ### A circuit that will not stay on When a breaker trips or a circuit goes dead, we test that circuit until we find the failed connection or fitting. ### A socket with no power A dead socket can be repaired on the existing point, or replaced with an extra socket from £85. ### Fault finding or emergency electrician Fault finding from £75 per hour is a booked visit; emergency electrician work is a separate service from £90 per hour. ### Fault finding or an EICR Fault finding tests the one failure you have rather than a full EICR, the landlord electrical safety certificate from £150. ### Buying an older Overton house On older Overton stock, a written report of the electrics before you buy is usually money well spent. ## 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. ### Winchester Street, London Road and Station Road 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. ### Solid wall properties On a solid wall house, new cable is planned along voids or surface runs rather than chased into the wall. ### Older stock in Overton On older Overton stock, a report of what we find is usually money well spent before you buy, not only after a fault appears. ### Bridge Street and Southington Lane On Bridge Street and Southington Lane we begin by identifying the failed circuit or fitting, because mixed age housing does not share one wiring layout. ### Quidhampton In Quidhampton we test the installation in that property, explain the cause, then put the repair in writing. ## 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. ### 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. ### Testing the fault We test the affected circuit, isolate the cause, and give you a written price for the repair before we start it. ### Repair and paperwork We complete the repair, test again, and issue the electrical paperwork that belongs with the work done. ## Why customers choose JD Electricals in Overton JD Electricals gives a written price for Overton fault finding, tests the failed circuit carefully, and leaves the paperwork that matches the repair. Communication stays plain from the first enquiry through to completion. ## Recent work from JD Electricals The recent work shown is domestic electrical jobs from the Hampshire towns JD Electricals covers. ## 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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Overton areas for fault finding JD Electricals covers fault finding in Overton on Winchester Street, London Road, Station Road, Bridge Street, Southington Lane and Quidhampton. ## 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. - [Electrician in Overton](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/electrician-overton): Electrician in Overton for EICRs, faults, consumer units and rewiring, with previous alterations, access and cable routes considered first. - [Electrical fault finding (all areas)](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding): Electrical fault finding in Basingstoke from JD Electricals, from £75 an hour, with a written price for the repair once the cause is named. - [All areas](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/): Company details, services, coverage, contact options and quote request. ## Book Online Book an Overton fault finding visit online, where the booking line answers at any time. ## Business facts - Service area: Basingstoke, Kempshott, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Chineham, Popley, Winklebury, Rooksdown, Old Basing, Oakley, Hook, Fleet, Tadley, Overton, Bramley, Whitchurch, Gosport - Hours: Every day 00:00–23:59 - Phone: +447307211625 - Email: team@jd-electricals.co.uk - Qualifications: Nvq level 3 electrical installation, City and guilds, 2009 ## Book Online - [Book Online](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and request a quote from JD Electricals. ## Sitemap - [Full sitemap](https://jd-electricals.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
