What Counts as an Electrical Emergency?

Not every electrical issue is an emergency, but some problems require immediate attention. You should call us urgently if you experience:

  • Complete power loss — Your whole property has lost electricity and it's not a power cut in your area
  • Burning smell from sockets or fuse board — This could indicate a serious fault that poses a fire risk
  • Sparks or arcing from switches or sockets — Visible sparks are a clear sign of dangerous wiring problems
  • Flickering lights that won't stop — Could indicate loose connections or overloaded circuits
  • Electric shock from appliances — Any shock from touching an appliance is an emergency
  • Smoke from electrical fittings — Turn off your consumer unit immediately and call us
  • Recurring circuit breaker trips — If your RCD keeps tripping, there's a fault that needs investigation
  • Water near electrical fittings — Flooding or water ingress near electrics is extremely dangerous

If you're ever in doubt about whether you have an electrical emergency, it's always better to err on the side of caution and call us. We'll advise you over the phone and dispatch help if needed.

Why You Shouldn't DIY Electrical Emergencies

It might be tempting to try to fix an electrical problem yourself to save money, but this is extremely dangerous—especially in an emergency situation. Here's why you should always call a qualified electrician:

  • Safety first — Electricity is lethal. Without proper training and equipment, you risk serious injury or death
  • Legal requirements — Electrical work in the UK must comply with Part P of the Building Regulations. DIY work can void your insurance and make your property unsaleable
  • Proper diagnosis — The visible problem is often a symptom of a deeper issue. We find and fix the root cause
  • Right tools — We have specialist equipment to safely diagnose and repair electrical faults
  • Peace of mind — Our work is guaranteed, giving you confidence the problem is properly fixed
