Almost all of the electrical circuits in my house suddenly stoped working, with onyt the lighting srill being OK. I found Wells Elec via a websearch, phoned them and Steve answered immediately. Steve talked me through the steps of finding out which circuit had shorted; I found it was the one to which my washing machine was connected. There was nothing he could do about that but he recommended I contacted A&D appliances of Lees, which I have done. I'm hopeless when it comes to practical matters such as electrics, so I found Steve's manner extremely helpful. And a bonus is that I now know a reliable electrician to replace my previous one who has retired.
