Electrical fault finding in Rooksdown
Are breakers tripping or sockets losing power in your Rooksdown home? JD Electricals starts by testing appliances and individual circuits, since the newer fixed wiring may not be the cause. Jay then traces any remaining problem through the installation and explains the evidence before a repair is agreed.
“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 Rooksdown?
Electrical fault finding and repair in Rooksdown starts from £75/hr, which buys time to find the fault and repair it on that visit where the repair is possible.
- An extra socket in a Rooksdown house starts from £85.
- Both figures are starting prices, not a fixed bill for the visit.
Fault finding in Rooksdown
- A circuit that trips or a dead socket in a Rooksdown house is traced and repaired by JD Electricals from £75/hr.
- A charger, garden circuit, garage feed, outside socket or new lighting in Rooksdown that has started tripping or stopped working.
- Late 1990s houses on Rooksdown Avenue usually have a modern board, so the check starts on the added circuit.
- Converted Park Prewett buildings need the supply arrangement checked before the fault can be found and made safe.
Rooksdown houses and electrical faults
- Most Rooksdown housing from the late 1990s onward is new build, so the fuse board is a modern consumer unit and usually has a spare way, a free slot, left.
- Houses on Rooksdown Avenue and Highpath Way are late 1990s onward new builds, so fault finding starts at a modern consumer unit that usually still has that free slot.
- Garden and garage circuits on Watertower Way and Pumphouse Way are additions rather than a full replacement, so a trip is traced on those later circuits first.
- Chargers, outside sockets and extra lighting on Vespasian Gardens and Claudius Drive sit on added circuits, which is what we test when a fitting stops working.
What happens on the day
We arrive at the Rooksdown house, confirm the trip or dead socket you have seen, then open the fuse board to see which circuit has failed.

Arrival at the fuse board

What brings Rooksdown households to JD Electricals
Households across Rooksdown book us because a dead circuit gets proved first, a written figure is locked in, and the repair on the property waits until both are done. Whatever turned up on the newly added circuit is put into everyday language, and that briefing holds from the opening contact right through the wiring paperwork for the job.

— James Dunn
Will you change the fuse board in a Rooksdown new build?+
Late 1990s Rooksdown houses usually already have a modern consumer unit with a spare way, so the visit traces the added circuit. Converted Park Prewett buildings are the exception and need the supply arrangement checked first. A fuse box replacement, if it is needed, starts from £650.
Can you add a socket after you find the fault?+
Yes, extra sockets start from £85. Late 1990s Rooksdown boards usually have a spare way, which is a free slot for a new circuit. The socket price is a starting figure, not a fixed total.
What if I live in a converted Park Prewett building?+
Converted Park Prewett buildings need the supply arrangement checked first, because they are not the late 1990s new build pattern. Fault finding still starts from £75/hr. The rest of the test follows once that supply is clear.
Do you cover Watertower Way and Claudius Drive?+
Yes, fault finding is available on Rooksdown Avenue, Park Prewett Road, Watertower Way, Pumphouse Way, Vespasian Gardens, Claudius Drive, Highpath Way and Rooksdown Lane. You book the visit online.
Can I book a Rooksdown electrician at night?+
The booking line answers at any time. That does not mean an electrician attends a Rooksdown house at every hour. Emergency electrician visits are a separate service from £90/hr.
What happens after I book fault finding in Rooksdown?+
You get a booked visit to the Rooksdown property. We start at the fuse board, test the added circuit that has failed, and leave the electrical paperwork for the work done.
