Out-of-hours electrical help
Out-of-hours call-outs are for problems that can't safely wait until the next working day: no power at all, burning smells, sparking or water in electrical fittings. If the problem can wait, booking a daytime appointment is usually simpler and avoids out-of-hours rates.
Common problems
- No power overnight or at the weekend
- Fuse box tripping late at night
- Burning smell from a fitting
- Water leaking into a light fitting
When you may need an electrician
- The property is unsafe to leave as it is
- You have no heating, lighting or refrigeration and vulnerable people at home
- A business can't open safely without power
What we can help with
- Making the installation safe
- Restoring power where it's safe to do so
- Temporary repairs until a full repair can be arranged

Frequently asked questions
How much is an emergency call-out?
The call-out price is shown when you book. It covers an electrician attending, making the installation safe and finding the fault. Any repair is priced and agreed with you before work starts.
Should I wait until morning?
If nothing is hot, smoking, sparking or wet and you have safe light and heat, it can often wait. If you're unsure, call us and describe what's happening.
What should I do if there's smoke or fire?
Leave the property and call 999. Don't try to deal with an electrical fire yourself. Book an electrician once the fire service says it's safe.
Is it a power cut or my electrics?
If your neighbours are also without power, call 105. If only your property is affected, book an electrician.
Can I book online at night?
Yes, the online booking is available at any time.
