An electrical emergency is any fault that puts people or property at risk: sparks, a burning smell, a hot or melted socket, exposed live wires, water reaching electrical fittings, or a sudden loss of power with signs of damage. These faults should be treated as urgent, not left until later.
While you wait for an electrician, switch off the main breaker if you can reach it safely, keep people and children away from the area, and do not touch exposed wires or wet electrical fittings. Never put water on an electrical fire. If there is a fire and it is safe to do so, use an extinguisher rated for electrical fires, or leave the building and call for help.
Call us and describe what you see, and we will tell you what to do while an electrician is arranged. On site we make the fault safe first, then find the cause and repair it.
You can call us at any hour, day or night, for urgent electrical problems. Tell us what you can see, hear or smell, and we will explain what to do while an electrician is on the way.
