Use it to stay safe, describe the problem clearly and decide whether to request electrical help.

Request help when there are signs of electrical damage, repeated tripping, loss of power or a planned electrical change needs a closer look.

Start with the room, circuit or fitting, visible symptom, access and whether the power is safely isolated.

Separate urgent safety concerns from planned repairs, upgrades or non-urgent investigation.

Share the safest photos you can take, the Edinburgh area, access notes and whether the issue is getting worse.
