Industrial Machinery Fault Finding & Repair
We were called to attend an industrial pot-making machine in Ashford after the equipment had stopped operating. The client had previously arranged for another electrical contractor to investigate the fault, but unfortunately the issue had not been resolved.
Industrial Machinery Fault Diagnosis
We carried out a thorough assessment of the machine and its associated electrical systems, methodically working through the equipment to establish the cause of the fault.
Electrical Fault Finding & Component Replacement
Once our team identified the problem, we sourced and collected the necessary replacement components, allowing us to proceed with the repair without unnecessary delay.
Machine Repair & Testing
Our team successfully repaired and tested the machine and returned it to service on the same day, minimising disruption and allowing the client to resume normal operations.
Return to Service
The client was very pleased with our service, particularly our prompt and practical approach to diagnosing and resolving the fault.

Two-Post Vehicle Lift Fault Finding & Repair
We were called to investigate a two-post vehicle lift in Gillingham which was repeatedly tripping the main fuse.
Vehicle Lift Electrical Fault Finding
The fault proved to be complex and required detailed electrical fault finding and testing to identify the underlying issue. During the investigation, it was established that the component requiring replacement was obsolete and no longer readily available, making a straightforward repair impractical.
Alternative Repair Solution
Rather than recommending replacement of the entire two-post lift, our engineers developed an alternative electrical solution to overcome the fault and restore the equipment to operation.
Repair, Testing & Recommissioning
The repair successfully returned the lift to working order and saved the client the significant cost of replacing the complete unit.
A Practical Solution to an Obsolete Component
The client was extremely pleased with the outcome and our practical approach to resolving the issue. The solution avoided what initially appeared to be a much more costly problem.
Works Included
Two-post vehicle lift fault finding
Electrical fault diagnosis
Investigation of repeated fuse tripping
Testing of associated electrical components

Outdoor Defibrillator Unit Electrical Installation
We were called to a commercial premises in Lordswood to install an external defibrillator and provide a suitable electrical supply for the equipment.
Dedicated Electrical Supply Installation
We installed a new dedicated electrical supply circuit from the existing electrical installation to the external defibrillator location. Due to the layout of the premises and the route required for the new supply, the installation presented a number of practical challenges.
External Electrical Installation
We planned the installation carefully, installed the new supply and completed the necessary electrical connections and testing to ensure the defibrillator unit was safely and reliably powered.
Testing & Commissioning
We completed the work to a high standard, providing the client with a suitable and dependable electrical supply for the outdoor unit.
Works Included
Outdoor defibrillator electrical installation
New dedicated supply circuit
Commercial electrical installation
External cable installation
Electrical connections and testing
Final inspection and commissioning
Industrial Control Panel & PLC Fault Finding
We were called to investigate a fault on a 15-year-old industrial electrical control panel for a client in Canterbury. The panel incorporated a Sigmatek PLC rack, and the age of the equipment and legacy control system made the fault-finding process particularly challenging.
Legacy Industrial Control System Investigation
Accessing the system itself presented an additional difficulty, as the original setup required an older PS/2 keyboard and mouse connection to communicate with the control system. Working with this type of legacy equipment required a methodical approach and a strong understanding of PLC systems and programming.
PLC Diagnostics & Fault Finding
The fault-finding process put our PLC programming and diagnostic skills to the test. We carefully worked through the control system to identify the cause of the machinery fault.
Control System Troubleshooting & Repair
After extensive investigation and troubleshooting, we were able to identify and resolve the underlying issue and successfully return the system to working order.
Testing & Recommissioning
The fault was complex and required a thorough technical approach. The successful outcome demonstrated the value of experience with older industrial control systems and PLC equipment.
Project Works Included
Industrial electrical fault finding
Legacy control panel investigation
Sigmatek PLC diagnostics
PLC programming and troubleshooting
Legacy PS/2 interface connection
Control system fault diagnosis
Testing and recommissioning
Restoration of the system to working order
Three-Phase Pump Control Upgrade
We were called to investigate an intermittent electrical fault affecting a three-phase pump in Rainham, which was occasionally tripping the electrical supply during start-up. As the fault was not occurring consistently, identifying the cause required careful testing and investigation of the existing control system.
Three-Phase Pump Fault Finding
We discovered that the pump was operated through an older star-delta starting arrangement, with a faulty component within the control system. Unfortunately, the original component was no longer readily available, making a like-for-like repair impractical.
Soft Starter Installation
Rather than replacing the complete system, we designed a modern solution using a soft starter, allowing the existing pump to reach operating speed in a smoother and more controlled manner.
Control Panel Modifications
The existing control panel presented an additional challenge as no electrical drawings were available. We therefore had to trace and understand the existing wiring before making significant modifications to the control circuit to accommodate the new soft-start arrangement.
Testing & Recommissioning
Following the modifications, the pump was tested and recommissioned. The new starting arrangement provides smoother pump operation and a more modern method of motor control, resolving the intermittent start-up issue for the client.
Project Works Included
Three-phase pump fault finding
Intermittent start-up fault diagnosis
Investigation of existing star-delta controls
Replacement of obsolete control equipment
Soft starter installation
Control panel wiring modifications
Tracing existing wiring without drawings
