Electrical emergencies we handle

If you're seeing any of these, don't risk it. Call a qualified electrician and we'll make it safe.

Power cut / no power

Lost power to part or all of the property and it's not the wider grid? We trace the fault and get you back on safely.

Tripping fuses / RCD keeps going

A breaker or RCD that keeps tripping the moment you reset it usually means a fault we need to find and fix.

Burning smell or sparking

A burning smell, smoke or sparks from a socket, switch or fuse box is a fire risk. Switch off and call us straight away.

Faulty wiring or sockets

Dead, scorched or buzzing sockets, flickering lights or exposed wiring. We make it safe and put it right.

While you wait for us

What to do right now

A few quick steps to stay safe, then leave the rest to us.

1

Don't touch anything sparking or burning

If a socket, switch or appliance is sparking, smoking or hot, keep well clear and don't touch it.

2

Switch off at the consumer unit

If it's safe to reach, turn off the affected circuit, or the main switch, at the fuse box (consumer unit).

3

Keep clear of water near electrics

Never touch electrics with wet hands or where there's water nearby. Keep people and pets away from the area.

4

Call us

We'll talk you through it and get a qualified, insured electrician out to you, usually within the hour.

Burning smell, smoke or sparks? Switch off at the fuse box if safe, keep clear and call us straight away. If there's a fire, leave the property and call 999.
Why it's happening

Common causes of an electrical emergency

Most faults trace back to a few usual culprits. We find the cause and make it safe.

Faulty appliance

A failing kettle, washing machine or heater is one of the most common reasons a breaker keeps tripping.

Water reaching electrics

A leak or damp getting into wiring, sockets or a light fitting can trip the supply and create a real hazard.

Worn or overloaded circuits

Old wiring, loose connections or too much load on one circuit can overheat and cause repeated trips.

Failing fuse box or RCD

An ageing consumer unit or a sensitive RCD can trip repeatedly and may need testing or upgrading.

Whatever the cause, we make the fault safe first, then explain exactly what's wrong and the fixed price to put it right, honestly.
