Common electrical emergencies we fix

If any of these are happening, call us.

Burning smell or scorch marks

A burning smell from a socket, switch or fuse board can mean a connection is overheating. Switch off at the fuse board if it's safe to, then call us.

Sparking or buzzing sockets

Sparks or buzzing point to a loose or damaged connection. Stop using the socket and unplug anything in it if you can do so safely.

Fuse board keeps tripping

A trip switch that won't stay on is cutting the power because something is wrong. We find the faulty circuit or appliance and fix it.

No power

Check whether your neighbours have power. If it's only your home, the fault is usually in your installation and we can trace it.

Water near electrics

Leaks into light fittings or sockets are dangerous. Keep away and switch off at the fuse board if you can reach it safely.

Exposed or damaged wiring

Don't touch it, and keep children and pets away until we've made it safe.

What to do while you wait

  1. If you see smoke or flames, get everyone out and call 999.
  2. If it's safe to reach, switch off the main switch at your fuse board.
  3. Don't touch damaged sockets, wires or anything wet.
  4. Unplug appliances on the affected circuit if you can do it safely.
  5. If the whole street is out, it's a power cut. Call 105, the free number for your local electricity network.

What our emergency customers say

Urgent call-outs and fault finding, in our customers' own words.

5 stars

Urban Volt electrical are very, very good

If I'm honest, I hadn't actually checked their reviews before instructing them on some Emergency work they did for us in our moment of need. They came to one of our properties within 48 hours of our initial inquiry, completed the work and provided a report within a very short period.

Very professional

Thank you!

Jay provided a great service today. Identified the fault with a main light not working in double quick time. Tested and checked everything was good and proper and was tidy, polite and good humoured throughout. Couldn't ask for a better service. Thanks Jay!

Would definitely recommend!

FAQs

Straight answers about emergency call-outs

When are you available?

Our normal hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. We take out-of-hours emergency call-outs every day except Sunday. Call 07375 965566.

Is it an emergency or can it wait?

Call straight away for burning smells, sparking, water near electrics, exposed wires or no power at all. A single dead socket or light usually isn't urgent, but give us a ring and we'll tell you honestly.

What should I do if the power goes off?

Check whether your neighbours have power. If they don't, it's a power cut, so call 105. If it's just you, look at your fuse board. If a switch has tripped, try resetting it once. If it trips again, leave it off and call us.

Can you fix whatever caused it?

Fault finding is part of the call-out. If the cause is an old fuse board or worn wiring, we'll explain what we found and quote for a fuse board replacement or rewire.
