NAPIT-registered and fully insured, we respond fast to power loss, tripping circuits, burning smells, and electrical faults across Warwick and the surrounding CV34/CV35 area.
When the power goes off, a circuit keeps tripping, or you smell burning from a socket, waiting until Monday morning is not an option. Warwick is a town of contrasts: tightly packed Georgian and Victorian terraces inside the historic centre, post-war semis in Myton, and newer builds spreading out towards Hatton Park and Leek Wootton. Each property type brings its own electrical quirks, from ageing wiring in period cottages to consumer units struggling to cope with modern demand in newer estates.
We are NAPIT-registered electricians based in Redditch, roughly 35 minutes west of Warwick via Henley-in-Arden. We cover the whole CV34 and CV35 postcode area. When you call us with an emergency, you speak to someone who actually does the work, not a call centre. We carry full public-liability and employer's liability insurance, and every piece of remedial work is quoted in writing with no hidden costs before we start.
What's included
A rapid response visit to your Warwick property, with a thorough visual and instrument-based inspection of your consumer unit, circuits, and visible wiring to locate the source of the fault before any remedial work begins.
Safe isolation of the affected circuit or supply where needed, protecting your family, your appliances, and the structure of your property while we carry out fault-finding diagnostics.
Full fault-finding using calibrated test equipment to trace earth faults, short circuits, overloads, and insulation breakdown, covering ring finals, radials, lighting circuits, and earthing arrangements.
A plain-English verbal explanation of exactly what we found and what needs fixing, followed by a free written, itemised quote so you know the full scope before we proceed.
Remedial repair work once the quote is accepted, including like-for-like component replacement, rewiring of damaged sections, and resetting or replacing the consumer unit where required.
Before-and-after photographic record of the fault and the repair, emailed to you on completion so you have a clear audit trail, particularly useful for insurance claims or landlord compliance records.
Local knowledge
Warwick's historic core, centred around the castle and the medieval street pattern of the old town, contains a high concentration of listed and pre-1919 properties. In these buildings it is common to find rubber-insulated or lead-sheathed cables, obsolete round-pin sockets, and consumer units that were installed decades before modern load demands were even imagined. When a fault develops in wiring of this age, isolating the cause requires patience and methodical testing: thermal imaging alone is rarely sufficient in a building where cables are buried inside lath-and-plaster walls or run through inaccessible roof spaces.
The residential streets of Myton and the newer developments at Hatton Park and Leek Wootton present a different set of challenges. Properties built between the 1980s and 2000s often have plastic-sheathed twin-and-earth wiring that is still serviceable but may show signs of stress if heavy loads, such as EV chargers or large heat pumps, have been added without a consumer unit assessment. In these areas, a tripping RCD or MCB is frequently the first sign that the existing installation is being pushed beyond its original design. We can diagnose whether the issue is a genuine fault, an overloaded circuit, or a nuisance trip caused by a failing appliance.
Warwick sits within Warwickshire County, and properties within the town's designated conservation areas may require consent before any external electrical work, including new meter tails routing or external cable management. Internally, listed-building consent considerations can affect how remedial wiring is concealed or surface-run. We are familiar with working sensitively in these environments and can advise on what permissions you may need before permanent remedial work is carried out. For emergency situations where safety is the immediate priority, safe isolation takes precedence; the paperwork question is resolved afterwards.
Why Warwick
Warwick homeowners and landlords call us back because we fix the fault properly the first time, explain what we found in plain English, and never start work without a written quote.
We are NAPIT-registered, which means our work meets the current BS 7671 wiring regulations and we can self-certify notifiable electrical work without you having to involve building control separately, saving you time during an already stressful situation.
Every emergency visit ends with a written, itemised quote before any chargeable remedial work begins. There are no surprise costs added after the job, and no pressure to proceed on the spot. You decide, we do the work.
We carry full public-liability and employer's liability insurance. Every job is covered before we step through your door, which matters particularly in Warwick's older and listed properties where unexpected complications can arise during fault-finding.
Our before-and-after photo record is standard on every job, not an optional extra. For landlords dealing with a tenant emergency, or homeowners making an insurance claim, that documented evidence is often worth more than the repair itself.
We are based in Redditch and reach central Warwick via the A4189 and A46 corridor in around 35 minutes, covering CV34 and CV35 without the excessive travel costs some Coventry or Birmingham-based firms add for the distance.
How it works
Tell us your CV34 or CV35 postcode when you call 01527 337155 and we confirm immediately whether we cover your area. For Warwick and the surrounding villages we do. No holding music, no automated system: you speak to us directly.
We arrive at your property and carry out a full initial inspection at no charge before any remedial work is quoted. We test the consumer unit, trace the affected circuits, and identify the fault using calibrated instruments, explaining what we find as we go.
Once we understand the scope, we produce a written, itemised quote on the spot. No verbal estimates, no hidden extras added later. You can see exactly what the repair involves and what it will cost before you agree to anything.
If you accept the quote on the same visit, we can often complete the repair immediately for straightforward faults. For more involved work requiring parts, we agree a follow-up date that suits you before we leave the property.
We complete the repair, test the installation to BS 7671, and take before-and-after photographs of the fault and the completed work. These are sent to you by email the same day, giving you a clear record for insurance, landlord compliance, or your own peace of mind.
Often booked together
An emergency fault often reveals broader wiring concerns in a property. Once the immediate problem is resolved, an EICR gives you a full picture of the installation's condition, which is especially important in Warwick's older housing stock and is required by landlord law for rented properties.
After an emergency repair, many Warwick homeowners take the opportunity to address other known electrical issues in one visit, from adding sockets to upgrading lighting circuits, avoiding a second call-out fee and keeping disruption to a minimum.
Tripping consumer units in Hatton Park and Leek Wootton newer builds are sometimes triggered by EV chargers on undersized circuits. Combining the emergency repair with a properly installed, dedicated EV charging circuit removes the root cause rather than just resetting the breaker.
Worth knowing
Many Warwick properties inside the conservation area, particularly around the castle and old town, have listed-building status. Internal wiring alterations may require listed-building consent as well as an electrical sign-off. In a genuine emergency, safe isolation comes first, but you should factor consent into any planned remedial work that follows.
Older properties in Warwick's historic streets commonly have earthing arrangements that predate current Part P regulations, including TN-C-S systems that may not match modern consumer-unit specifications. A fault-finding visit may reveal underlying earthing deficiencies that need addressing beyond the immediate repair, and a full EICR may be advisable once the emergency is resolved.
If your property is rented out in Warwick, your landlord obligations require a valid EICR in place. An emergency call-out is not a substitute for that periodic inspection. If the fault we attend to reveals wider installation concerns, we will flag this clearly so you can arrange a formal EICR before the property is re-let.
FAQs
From our base in Redditch, we reach central Warwick in around 35 minutes via the A4189 and A46, and the wider CV34 and CV35 area in a similar timeframe depending on traffic. We do not promise an impossible 20-minute window and then arrive an hour later. When you call 01527 337155, we give you an honest arrival estimate based on where we are that day. For situations involving a burning smell, exposed live conductors, or flooding near electrics, please also call 999 or the National Grid emergency line first if there is any immediate danger to life.
A repeatedly tripping MCB or RCD is the circuit's way of telling you something is drawing too much current or there is a fault to earth. Common causes in Warwick properties include a failing appliance on the circuit, insulation breakdown in older wiring, a damp ingress issue affecting a socket or junction, or an overloaded circuit that was not designed for modern load. In newer Hatton Park or Leek Wootton properties, an EV charger or large heat pump added to an existing circuit is a frequent culprit. We use test equipment to identify the exact cause rather than simply resetting the breaker and hoping for the best.
A burning smell from a socket or fitting is a serious warning sign and should not be ignored. Switch off the socket at the wall and, if it is safe to do so, turn off the relevant circuit at the consumer unit. Do not use the socket until it has been inspected. In many cases the smell comes from a loose connection arcing inside the back box, which can cause a fire inside the wall cavity without any visible external signs. Call us on 01527 337155 and we will attend as soon as possible. If you can see flames, smell burning from multiple locations, or feel heat through a wall, call 999 immediately.
Yes. A significant number of Warwick's central properties are listed or located within the conservation area, and we are experienced working in these environments. Fault-finding in a building with lath-and-plaster walls, original joinery, and period features requires a careful, considered approach rather than the invasive methods that might be routine in a modern property. We can carry out emergency safe isolation and diagnosis without unnecessary damage. For any follow-on remedial work that involves altering the wiring route or surface-mounting new conduit, we will advise you on whether listed-building consent is needed before we proceed.
Always. We do not start chargeable remedial work on the basis of a verbal estimate. After we have diagnosed the fault, we produce a written, itemised quote that sets out exactly what needs doing and what it will cost. There are no hidden charges added afterwards. The diagnostic inspection itself is free. You are never under pressure to accept on the spot: if you want to get a second opinion or speak to your landlord before agreeing, that is entirely your decision. Our quote is valid so you can come back to us.
As a landlord in Warwick you are legally required to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report for the property, renewed at least every five years or at every change of tenancy. An emergency call-out to fix a fault does not replace that obligation. If we attend an emergency and find evidence of wider installation deficiencies, we will note these clearly in writing so you can act on them. We can carry out an EICR at the same property once the immediate fault is resolved, which is often the most practical approach. All our landlord work is NAPIT-registered and fully documented.
Our commitment
We take on a limited number of jobs each week because doing electrical work properly, particularly fault-finding in complex or older properties, takes time. Cutting corners on diagnostics creates callbacks and, in a worst case, a hazard that was not there before. Warwick's mix of historic and modern properties means we cannot apply a one-size approach. We give each job the time it needs, and we only quote for work we are confident we can complete to the required standard.
