Dorian from Bello Electric accepted my enquiry and arrived very quickly. He commenced tracing the fault immediately and carried out his investigation with obvious skill and knowledge. Speedily eliminating a number of possibilities he established that the fault lay with external wiring which appeared to have been damaged by rodents. Repaired. Left site tidy. Really pleased. I'd give 6 stars and very highly recommend. 512 characters is not enough to adequately say how good he is.
