What Truro Customers Say
Recent callouts, in their own words.
“Whole house lost power late at night. He was with us within the hour, found a failed junction in the roof space and sorted it there and then.”
“Our board kept tripping and the last person just reset it. These traced it to damp tracking through the granite into the meter cupboard and explained exactly why.”
“Holiday cottage that had stood empty since October greeted us with a dead board. They sorted it before the first guests arrived and sent photos through.”
“Supply down to the boathouse had been in the ground for years and finally failed. They tested the whole run rather than guessing at the far end.”
“Burning smell from a socket on a Sunday evening. Told me what to isolate while driving over, then replaced the back box and tested the ring.”
“Shop lost power an hour before opening. Someone arrived quickly despite the distance and we traded on time. Invoice matched the quote exactly.”
Granite, Damp and Properties That Stand Empty Half the Year
Cornwall is hard on an electrical installation. Thick granite walls, constant damp, salt off both coasts and thousands of properties that nobody switches on between October and Easter.
In Truro itself we meet Georgian and Victorian buildings divided into flats, with circuits shared in ways nobody recorded. Out towards Feock, Devoran and the creeks it is cottages and holiday homes where a seized RCD greets you after months of standing empty, and where supplies often run a long way to outbuildings or moorings. Damp tracking through solid granite will trip a board repeatedly while everything indoors looks perfectly dry. We check for that before anything else.

Questions From Truro Callers
If what you are seeing is not here, phone and ask. It costs nothing to check.
Call 01872712328How quickly can you reach me in Truro? +
Usually within thirty to forty minutes in and around the city, including Highertown, Threemilestone and Kenwyn. Villages out towards St Agnes, Perranporth or the creeks add a little, and we give you a realistic window on the call rather than a stock promise.
Are you really based in Cornwall? +
Yes. Our electricians live and work here rather than travelling down from Devon or Bristol, which is the only way a call from Truro gets someone the same night instead of the next afternoon.
Is there a travel charge for the villages? +
No. A cottage twenty minutes down a single-track lane costs the same call-out as a house in the city centre. One figure agreed before we set off, nothing added for mileage.
Our board trips but everything looks dry indoors. What causes that? +
Damp tracking through solid granite or into an outside meter box is one of the most common causes in Cornwall. It will trip an RCD again and again while the inside of the house looks perfectly fine, so we test for it rather than reset and leave.
Can you look after a holiday let or second home while I am away? +
Yes. We attend for owners and letting agents, can work while the property is empty, and send photos and certificates digitally the same day so you do not need to travel down.
Can you work on granite, cob and listed cottages? +
Yes. Thick walls limit where cable can run and how walls can be opened, so we plan the route before touching anything and will tell you plainly if a job needs consent first.
