A Safety-First Approach to Electrical Repairs
At Dorset Electrical Solutions, keeping our customers safe is the number one priority. We will take the time to conduct an electrical safety test with every callout, free of charge, to ensure that all electrical installations in your home comply with the relevant safety standards. Our electricians have a duty to inform you of anything that poses a risk to your personal safety – such as exposed wiring or an overheated fuse – and advise on the solutions available, allowing you to make an informed decision.
How We Can Help
Power Cuts
A power cut can be annoying at the best of times, but it could also indicate that there’s a fault with the electrics in your home. Sometimes it will just be a case of flicking the relevant switch in your fuse box, but if you’re unsure of the cause or would rather not take the risk, calling a professional is the safest course of action. Our electricians will be able to diagnose the problem and provide a quick fix, or, if necessary, escalate it to your electricity provider.
Flickering Lights
If your lights are flickering, buzzing, or not turning on and off, it could mean that the wattage is wrong. Alternatively, there may be a bad connection between the bulb and switch. If replacing the bulb doesn’t help, Dorset Electrical Solutions will be able to establish the root cause and get your lights shining again.
Electrical Device Arcing
If you detect a weird fishy smell from a switch or wall socket, it might mean that the connection to an electrical device’s circuit has been damaged – commonly known as ‘arcing’. When this happens, the electricity will jump to complete the circuit, which can result in a fire. Our local presence and 24/7 coverage allows us to respond promptly in such cases.

Related electrical services & areas we cover
Electrical repairs often go alongside an EICR safety inspection to find the root cause, and many faults are solved with a consumer unit upgrade or, in older homes, a rewire. For urgent problems we offer 24/7 emergency call-outs, and we also handle new installations. We repair electrics across Dorset, including Poole, Bournemouth and the surrounding towns.
Electrical repairs FAQs
What kinds of electrical faults do you fix?
Everything from tripping circuits, dead sockets and flickering lights to loss of power, faulty switches, immersion and heating faults, and burning smells. If it’s electrical, we can diagnose and repair it.
Can you find a fault you can’t see?
Yes — our electricians carry out systematic fault finding and diagnostics to trace intermittent and hidden faults quickly, so we fix the cause rather than just the symptom.
Do you offer emergency electrical repairs?
We do — our team is on call 24/7 for electrical emergencies. See our emergency call-outs page or phone us any time if you’ve lost power or have a dangerous fault.
How much does an electrical repair cost?
We diagnose the problem first, then give you a clear price before carrying out the repair — no surprises. Call-outs and smaller works are quoted up front too.
When should I switch the power off and call an electrician?
If you notice a burning smell, scorch marks, buzzing, sparking, or you get a shock from a socket or switch, turn off the affected circuit at the consumer unit and call us straight away.
