Electrical Emergencies We Handle
From total power failures to burning smells and exposed wiring — we respond quickly and make your property safe.
Total Power Failure
Complete loss of electricity to your property. We'll diagnose the cause — whether it's a tripped main switch, a faulty RCD, or a supply issue — and restore power as quickly as possible.
Burning Smell or Smoke
A burning smell from sockets, switches, or your consumer unit is a serious warning sign. Switch off the main supply immediately and call us. We'll identify and repair the fault safely.
Sparking or Arcing
Visible sparks from sockets, light fittings, or switches indicate a potentially dangerous fault. Don't use the affected fitting — call us for an urgent inspection and repair.
RCD/MCB Won't Reset
If a circuit breaker keeps tripping and won't stay on, there's an underlying fault on that circuit. We'll trace the fault, isolate it, and carry out the necessary repair.
Exposed Live Wiring
Damaged cables or exposed conductors are immediately dangerous. Keep everyone away from the area, switch off the supply if safe to do so, and call us for an emergency response.
Water Near Electrics
Water ingress near electrical installations — from leaks, flooding, or burst pipes — creates a serious shock risk. Don't touch any wet electrical fittings. Call us immediately.
