A licensed gas fitter to fix a dangerous fault at Michael's home in London
Michael has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning, and can't afford a licensed gas fitter to fix it; a few hours of professional help would make the home safe.

In January an inspector told me that my home has faulty wiring that trips the power and smells of burning. It's a safety risk for me and my three children. The landlord has refused to act, and quotes of $1,350 are beyond us.
I'm looking for a licensed gas fitter who may be able to donate a few hours or do the repair at cost. I can cover the parts, which I estimate at $220.
The job should take about six hours. I'll make sure someone is home and will provide refreshments. I can share the inspector's written report on request.
If you're a gas fitter and can help, or know a program that assists with this sort of repair, I'd really appreciate it.
Thank you for reading my story.
