Electrical fault finding in London
Fault finding is diagnostic work: an electrician attends to trace the cause of a specific electrical problem. It is a different job from an EICR, which inspects and reports on the condition of an installation as a whole rather than chasing one fault.

This page does not yet state what this service covers.
Haven offers this service, and you can ask us for it. What is missing is the verified detail — scope, the legislation behind it, how often it should be repeated and what it costs. Rather than fill those in from general knowledge and present them as Haven’s position, they are left out until somebody with the relevant competence has checked them.
OUTSTANDING · Scope, diagnostic method, what is and is not included in an attendance, whether remedial work is covered, and the competence required are all unverified. No Haven source describes this service.
What an EFF actually records.
This page describes what the service is called and how to ask for it. What an attendance covers, what it costs and what happens if the fault needs remedial work beyond diagnosis have not yet been confirmed by Haven.
If you need a scheduled inspection and report on a whole installation rather than diagnosis of one fault, an EICR is the document you are looking for.
LEGAL BASIS
Requires technical and legal review
Haven has not yet established which legislation applies to this service, so none is stated here. That is not the same as saying none applies. If you need to know the statutory position before instructing us, ask and we will confirm it in writing rather than guess.
Who this is for, and the properties it applies to.
Anyone with a specific, identified electrical fault
A tripping circuit, a dead socket, intermittent lighting — where the problem is known and the cause is not.
Not a substitute for an EICR
Fault finding answers one question. It is not a condition report and does not satisfy the inspection duty on a rented home.
