Electrical Call-Out in Chelsea – Fast Fault Finding & Power Restored

Urgent Electrical Assistance for Chelsea Property

Electricians4London were recently called to an urgent electrical breakdown at a property in Chelsea, where the occupants suddenly lost power to several sockets. With equipment in use and safety a concern, our engineers attended promptly to diagnose the issue and restore full functionality to the electrical system.

Emergency Attendance to Investigate Power Failure

Upon arrival, our engineer discovered that one of the floor-mounted socket enclosures had lost power, preventing multiple appliances from operating. The customer reported intermittent tripping and complete circuit failure earlier that day.

We began with safety checks before accessing the recessed floor box to locate the root cause.

Inspection of Floor Box and Socket Outlets

We opened the floor box and tested the socket outlets using a professional socket testing device.
The readings confirmed that the circuit was not receiving a reliable supply, indicating a wiring or termination fault somewhere within the installation.

The condition of the sockets, terminals and internal plate fixings were inspected thoroughly before progressing to cable checks.

Fault Located: Damaged Supply Cable

Further investigation revealed a damaged cable feeding the sockets, which had caused instability and eventual power loss.
The cable showed signs of physical stress, and part of the insulation had been compromised—consistent with what was visible in the damaged flex shown in your images.

This damage resulted in:

  • Loss of continuity

  • Unreliable connection to the floor box

  • Protective device activation due to the unsafe condition

Repairs Completed & Power Restored

Once the damaged cabling was identified, our engineer:

  • Isolated the affected circuit

  • Removed the compromised section of cable

  • Re-terminated and secured all connections

  • Reinforced strain relief to prevent future damage

  • Retested the circuit using a calibrated tester

  • Verified correct polarity, earth continuity and RCD operation

After repairs, full power was restored to the sockets, and the floor box was safely reassembled.
