Common Electrical Emergencies We Diagnose & Fix
If you are experiencing any of these critical issues, turn off your main supply if safe and contact our team immediately.
Consumer Unit Tripping Continuously
If your RCD or main breaker keeps tripping when reset, there is an active ground fault or short circuit requiring immediate professional isolation.
Burning Smells or Sparking Outlets
Smell of hot plastic, discoloured socket faceplates, or visible arcing are major fire hazards. Switch off the main supply and call us immediately.
Complete Loss of Power
When your neighbours have light but your property is dark, an internal main switch or supply fault needs urgent diagnosis by an approved electrician.
Exposed Wires or Water Ingress
Water leaking into light fittings or damaged live cabling creates an immediate electric shock hazard that requires swift isolation.
