Electricians in Brighton Looking After Sussex Electrics
Say for example the electricity is not working or there is a water leak, and we can’t get in contact with the landlord. Are we within our rights as tenants to call out an electrician or plumber for example and then charge the landlord? I am in the UK.
The overhead light in my living room stopped working. I’ve tried all I can think of to fix it and would REALLY rather not have to call an electrician. I am fairly competant with home repairs and such, but I’m totally stumped.
So far I’ve tried changing the light fixture and changing the light switch. The breaker also controls the light in my kitchen, so I’m pretty sure it isn’t the breaker or anything.
My attic is tiny…it goes over the LR light, but there’s maybe 1′-2′ clearance, so it’ll be pretty hard to get up there, but I can if that’s what it takes…
ANY help or ideas would be very appreciated. Thanks!
If it is wired this way won’t the light shut off if the GFI trips?
It IS wired this way. I asked him if the box is a junction and he said no.
Ripped off by Electrician who charged by hour and another Electrician who charged by the job Both over charged and did not fix problem.

Their are big burn marks on the floors of our house, which we rent out. We had a repair guy (not an electrician) look at it, and he said that there is no way that it is our fault, that it was caused by the tenant’s fan. There is no damage to the wall outlet or the cord of the fan – only to the fan and our floors and the ceiling and walls (smoke stains). The tenant swears the fan was turned off and refuses to pay for fixing the damage. This shouldn’t be a problem as we could take it out of the deposit, but unfortunately, he’s left and his roommates have given him back his part of the deposit. Thus, the roommates would be left paying for his damages, which doesn’t seem fair since they’re nice guys. Anyway, our question is: is it as obvious that he is lying as we think? Or is it possible that the fan really was turned off and that there really was some sort of electricity surge that could legitimately be our responsibility?
