None of the lights in the house are working. The “Protected Light” breaker trips immediately when it is reset. Looking for a licensed electrician to attend, fault find, and repair the issue on the spot if possible. Please check the lighting circuit, light switches, wiring terminations, and switchboard breaker/RCBO to identify and fix the fault. It may be a faulty cable, loose termination, light switch, or breaker, but I need the exact cause diagnosed and repaired. Please only respond if you’re able to carry out the repair, not just provide a quote for a full switchboard replacement. If major work is genuinely required, please explain why before proceeding.

Amazing service, knew exactly what they were doing. Would recommend again 100% Thank you.

My ceiling-mounted smoke alarm, is doing a periodic chirp, indicating it needs a battery change. I don't have a ladder, I suspect it takes one of the rectangular batteries.

James was very considerate, careful about ensuring the tricky smoke detector wasn't damaged in opening it. Was punctual and lovely. Thank you - you saved me, as the chirping was driving me nuts.
