Electricity company power cuts may be inconvenient, but they’re not an emergency. And while a loss of power that only affects your property due to faulty equipment may not be a real electrical emergency, it indicates there is a problem that you need a professional electrician to repair before it becomes an emergency situation.

Electrical faults can cause property damage and human injury if you ignore them too long. Electrical systems are complex, so don’t take risks when it comes to safety. If in doubt, call an expert.

In an emergency where there is a danger to life, we aim to be there within 45 minutes if you are local. In lesser emergencies, if you run a business and your livelihood is impacted, we still aim to respond within 2 hours of your call, even if you are located elsewhere in southwest London.
Despite our best efforts, not every electrical problem can be fixed on the spot. While we always make your electrical installation safe immediately, it may take a little longer to fix if we need to replace a component or appliance. In that event we will still aim to find the part and fix the problem as soon as practically possible.
Electrical Emergencies
9 Common Electrical Emergencies That Need An Electrician ASAP
Overloaded Sockets: Overloaded soxkets are an electrical hazard at any time, but even more so when they are positioned next flammable objects, where heat build up in the socket can be the cause of an electrical fire.
Burning Smell: If any device or appliance is giving off a smell of burning you should contact an emergency electrician immediately. Electrical fires can start with no other warning signs other than a burning smell so if you notice one, it’s a warning sign that there could be a serious issue about to cause a lot of damage if ignored.
Power Loss: A complete loss of power that only affects your property needs an electrician to investigate and fix.
Sparks: Sparks from an outlet when plugged or unplugged – This could potentially cause an electrical fire so be sure to get all your plugs serviced if sparks are an issue.
Faulty Wiring: Dimming or flickering lights can be indicative of an issue with your wiring. This can pose a massive danger to the safety of your home and your family so it’s not an issue that should be overlooked. Despite the age of your home – whether it’s brand new or old – be sure to get it looked at as soon as you can.
Blown Fuses: If the circuit breaker is tripping regularly, it’s a sign that your wiring needs to be re-done as it’s not capable of catering for the demands that are being put on it in terms of energy output.
Plugs Overheating: An overheated plug can become a much bigger issue if it’s not looked at. The usual cause is a loose wire – either in the socket or in the plug – but it’s still cause for concern.
Loose Sockets: A loose electrical outlet has the potential to start a fire behind the wall.
Flickering Lights: If your lights in your house are flickering sporadically, it can be a symptom of a serious electrical problem lurking. The same applies to appliances if power comes and goes at random. It's important to call emergency electrical services right away to ensure your family’s safety and prevent more serious issues.
Electric Shocks: Electrical shocks when touching a plug or cord could lead to devastating damage or even death so it’s essential that the relevant plugs / cables are inspected and repaired by a professional.
