Rusty, mouldy exhaust fan
One Thornton 3-in-1 bathroom unit had rusted, with moisture inside the light. Another ensuite fan had seized solid, so we cut it out and replaced it.

A new oven that would not plug in
A Thornton wall oven came out and a new one went in. The old one was hardwired and the new one was plug-and-play, so the outlet had to be fitted first. The stove circuit was already sharing a safety switch with the cooktop, so we tested both before we left.

Lights that only tripped in the rain
One Thornton property tripped its lighting circuit in wet weather and tested perfectly dry. With seventeen floodlights on the place, the honest answer was that it could not be pinned down on a dry day, so we said so and came back to it.
Fault finding >
A dog through the hot water cable
A dog chewed straight through the cabling to a Thornton hot water system. We isolated it, ran new cable inside corrugated conduit so it could not happen again, and re-energised and tested it.
Repairs and fault finding >Electrical work in Thornton: common questions
Why did my ensuite exhaust fan stop spinning?
Corrosion can seize it solid. In one Thornton ensuite we cut out the seized fan and fitted a new one.
Why is there water in my bathroom exhaust light?
Moisture is getting into the fitting, often through a rusted or failing unit. Switch it off and call us: we found exactly that in a rusted 3-in-1 unit in a Thornton bathroom.
My phone or internet wall point stopped working. Can you fix it?
Often, yes. In one Thornton home we repaired a point running on old star-wired cabling.
Can you replace my oven, or do I need the appliance place to do it?
We can do it. Most new ovens are plug-and-play while older ones are wired straight in, so the outlet often has to be fitted first. We did exactly that on a Thornton wall oven. You get a compliance certificate when it is done.
My lights only trip when it rains. What causes that?
Water getting into a fitting or a cable, almost always outside. It is one of the harder faults to find because everything tests fine on a dry day. On one Thornton property with seventeen floodlights we told the owner plainly that it could not be pinned down until it was wet, rather than guessing and charging for it.
Our switchboard still has the old ceramic fuses. Does that matter?
It means the house has no safety switch, so a fault has to melt a fuse wire instead of cutting the power in milliseconds. It matters most where there are children in the house. We will tell you what it costs to put RCD protection in, and we will tell you if it can wait.
