Why Choose Us
Common Reasons Your Steyning Home is Tripping
In older Steyning properties, ranging from historic High Street timber-framed cottages to mid-century homes in the Penlands area, electrical faults often stem from specific local issues. We frequently encounter moisture ingress in external security lighting, which affects RCD protection, and rodent damage to cables within roof spaces, a common issue in rural Bramber and Ashurst. Additionally, many older homes in the area operate on TT earthing systems that rely on earth rods; if these rods deteriorate due to wet soil conditions, it can lead to persistent nuisance tripping. We also assess whether your current appliances, such as aging immersion heaters, are leaking current and triggering your modern safety devices.

Who We Are
Our Professional Diagnostic Process
We move beyond quick fixes by utilising precision diagnostic equipment to ensure the root cause is resolved. Our process begins with a thorough visual inspection of your consumer unit and accessible wiring. We then perform sequence testing using calibrated Multi-Function Testers to conduct Insulation Resistance (IR) checks. This identifies 'leaky' circuits that might be causing RCDs or RCBOs to trip. By systematically isolating each circuit, we distinguish between simple appliance faults and more complex issues with fixed wiring, ensuring we only recommend necessary repairs that comply with current BS 7671 standards.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Tripping Circuits Repair in Steyning Questions
Answers to common questions about our Tripping Circuits Repair in Steyning
Why does my RCD trip when it rains in Steyning?
This is a common issue for local homes with outdoor lighting, garden power, or weather-sealed sockets. Even a tiny amount of moisture getting into an IP66 enclosure or an outdoor junction box can cause a "fault to earth," which triggers the RCD to cut power for safety. We can test your external circuits and seal or replace any compromised fittings.
Can I just keep resetting the circuit breaker?
It is tempting to keep pushing the switch back up, but if it trips again immediately, you must stop. Repeatedly resetting a breaker against a "hard fault" can damage your wiring and, in some cases, lead to an electrical fire. If it trips more than once, it is time to call a professional for electrical fault finding.
How long does it take to find an electrical fault?
Most faults are identified within the first hour of testing. We start at the consumer unit and work our way through the affected circuit. While some complex issues hidden under floorboards or behind walls can take longer, we keep you updated throughout the process.
Why are my kitchen sockets tripping but the lights still work?
Modern consumer units split your home into different circuits. This means a fault with a kitchen appliance or a damp dishwasher element will only cut power to that specific circuit, leaving your lights and other areas of the house active. This is a safety feature designed to prevent a total blackout.
Does my Steyning home need a new fuse box if it keeps tripping?
Not necessarily. Tripping is often a sign that the safety devices are doing their job correctly. However, if your board is an old-style wooden-backed unit or uses rewireable fuses, it may lack the sensitive RCD protection required by modern BS 7671 standards. We can assess your board and advise if an upgrade to a metal-clad RCBO unit is needed.
