Emergency electrician

Stay clear of sparking fittings and flood water near electrics; the visit traces whether the fault is at the consumer unit, circuit or supply.

What this covers

No power to part of the property, burning smells, sparking sockets or a consumer unit that will not reset.

Do this first

  • Keep clear of sparking fittings, burning smells or flood water near electrics.
  • Do not keep resetting a breaker or RCD that trips immediately.
  • Note which rooms lost power and photograph the consumer unit if it is safe.

No power, a hot consumer unit or a new circuit? Tell us what is happening. Request an electrician
