FAQs
What electrical situations require an emergency electrician?
Electrical situations requiring immediate emergency attention include total loss of power to a commercial or domestic property, burning smells or visible scorch marks near electrical fittings or the fuse board, sparking from sockets or switches, electrical shock from any fitting, a tripping MCB or RCD that cannot be reset, flooding affecting electrical installations, and any situation where you believe there may be an immediate electrical risk. Call 0203 439 9474 immediately.
Is it safe to use the building if I have an electrical fault?
It depends on the nature of the fault. A single non-critical circuit fault – such as a lighting circuit that has tripped — is generally safe to leave until a planned repair. However, burning smells, scorching, sparking, or a fault affecting the main supply or fuse board should be treated as potentially dangerous. If in any doubt, isolate the affected circuit or isolate the main supply at the fuse board and call 0203 439 9474 immediately.
Can an emergency electrician fix the fault on the same visit?
Yes, in the majority of cases. Our emergency electricians carry a comprehensive range of common electrical parts and materials and can resolve most electrical faults on the initial visit. For complex faults requiring specialist parts or extensive investigation, a temporary safe arrangement may be made before a permanent repair is scheduled. Call 0203 439 9474.
Do you provide emergency electricians for commercial buildings out of hours?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency electrician cover for commercial buildings – including offices, retail premises, hotels, restaurants, and industrial facilities – including out-of-hours and overnight attendance. Loss of power in a commercial building can have serious operational and security consequences and we treat commercial electrical emergencies as a priority. Call 0203 439 9474.
What should I do if there is a total power failure at my property?
First, check whether the failure is limited to your property or affects the whole street — if it is widespread, contact your electricity distributor (the number is on your electricity bill or on the National Power Cut helpline: 105). If only your property is affected, check your fuse board for tripped MCBs or RCDs and attempt to reset them. If they continue to trip or the board has no obvious tripped breakers, call 0203 439 9474 immediately as the fault is likely within your installation.
