Damaged Cables & Wiring
Damaged cable is one fault we won't guess at. A nail through a wall, rodents in a loft, water finding its way into an outdoor run: whatever caused it, the affected circuit gets isolated before anything else happens.
Where a cable is buried in a wall or under a floor, we trace its route first with a cable locator, not guesswork, so the repair stays targeted instead of exploratory. Once it's exposed, we decide there and then whether a section repair holds or the run needs replacing outright.
Every repair gets re-tested before the circuit goes back into use. That means insulation resistance and continuity checks, not just a visual once-over.
Sound Familiar?
Cable damage isn't always visible. Often the first clue is what it's doing to the rest of the circuit, not the cable itself.
If you can reach the consumer unit safely, switch off the affected circuit. Leave the cable itself alone: no inspecting it, no moving it, no trying to gauge how bad the damage is yourself.
Wiring that's been in contact with water needs treating as live until we say otherwise. Don't touch the water, the cable or any nearby switches — leave the room and call us.
See smoke, smell burning, or just suspect fire? Get out of the property first, then dial 999. We're the second call, not the first.

FAQ
Feel free to contact us for more information
Cut, chewed, or soaked, most cable damage is repairable rather than a full rewire. If a cable's buried in a wall, we trace the route before opening anything up, then make the circuit safe before we touch it.
Stay away from it entirely if you're not sure whether it's safe. Switch off the circuit at the consumer unit only if it's dry and easy to reach; otherwise leave everything alone and ring us. Mixing water and electricity is a job to hand over, not investigate yourself.
A cable locator does the work: a tone generator sends a signal down the cable, and a tracer picks it up through the wall or floor to map the exact route. That narrows the damage down to within a few centimetres, so we open plaster or boards only where the fault actually sits. Trickier routes get backed up with insulation resistance testing or a thermal camera before anyone reaches for a chisel.
Policies vary more than you'd expect on this one. Some insurers cover the resulting damage, a fire or the repair itself, even when general pest infestation is excluded, while others rule out rodent damage completely, so it's worth checking your policy wording or calling your insurer before we start work if you're planning to claim. What we can give you is a written report and repair invoice setting out the damage and its likely cause, which is usually the evidence insurers ask for.
