Content
This out of hours call-out in Derby came through our 24/7 emergency line late one evening, when a homeowner lost power to most of the house and the RCD would not reset. Our call handler asked a few quick safety questions over the phone, including whether there was any burning smell, heat or visible damage, and talked them through switching off the affected circuits while an emergency electrician in Derby was dispatched. Our NICEIC approved engineer arrived within [X] minutes, safely isolated the supply and used insulation resistance testing to trace the fault circuit by circuit rather than guessing. The cause was [water getting into an outdoor socket], which was pushing current to earth and tripping the RCD every time it was reset. The engineer disconnected and made safe the faulty accessory, restored power to the rest of the house the same night, and tested every affected circuit before leaving to confirm it was safe to use. The homeowner was given a clear explanation of what had gone wrong and a fixed price for the permanent repair, which was completed at a follow-up visit booked at a time that suited them. They received their Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate through WhatsApp and their UES online account.
