Emergency Electrician Call-Out
Sparking sockets, burning smells or sudden power loss require immediate attention. Our NICEIC-registered electricians attend around the clock to assess the danger and make the property safe.
Electrical Make-Safe
Emergency electrical services for power loss, unsafe circuits and electrical hazards after leaks or building damage.
Our NICEIC-registered electricians provide 24/7 emergency electrical make-safe and repair services across Southwark. From tripped breakers to full rewiring, we respond immediately to make your property safe.
Circuit Isolation and Make-Safe
Where a fault presents a fire or shock risk, we isolate the affected circuit immediately, removing danger while keeping unaffected parts of the property powered wherever possible.
Overload and Tripped Breaker Diagnostics
We identify the cause of repeated tripping or overloaded circuits, from faulty appliances to failing wiring, and resolve the issue rather than offering a temporary fix.
Consumer Unit and Breaker Repairs
Damaged or outdated consumer units and circuit breakers are repaired or replaced to restore safe, compliant electrical distribution throughout the property.
Water-Damaged Wiring Repairs
Water ingress into electrical systems is treated as a priority hazard. We isolate, assess and repair affected wiring and fittings to eliminate the risk of shock or fire.
Temporary Power Restoration
Where a full repair cannot be completed immediately, we restore temporary lighting and power safely, keeping your property functional until permanent works are scheduled.
Exposed Wiring Repairs
Damaged, exposed or degraded cabling is a serious safety hazard. We repair or replace affected sections promptly to remove any risk to occupants.
Socket and Switch Repairs
Faulty sockets and switches are diagnosed and repaired or replaced, restoring safe day-to-day use of your electrical installation.
Earthing Checks and Repairs
We inspect and reinstate earthing to ensure your electrical system meets current safety regulations and protects against fault currents.
Full or Partial Rewiring
Following significant fault or fire/water damage, we carry out full or partial rewiring to bring the property back to a safe, fully compliant standard.
Written Reports for Insurers and Building Control
Every emergency call-out can be accompanied by a written summary of the fault found and work completed — suitable for insurers, landlords or building control records.
Electrical Make-Safe FAQs
Is it safe to stay in the property if water has reached sockets or a consumer unit?
No — keep everyone away from the affected area and don't touch any wet switches, sockets or the consumer unit yourself. Call us immediately; our NICEIC-registered electricians will isolate the circuit safely on arrival before assessing further damage.
Are your electricians actually NICEIC registered?
Yes, every emergency electrician we send out is NICEIC-registered, so isolation, repair and rewiring work is carried out to current wiring regulations and can be signed off accordingly.
How much does an emergency electrician call-out cost?
Emergency attendance starts from £150 + VAT for the first hour, covering diagnosis, risk triage and making the circuit safe. Any further remedial work — a consumer unit replacement or rewiring, for example — is quoted exactly before we proceed.
Can you get my power back on the same day?
Usually, yes. Where a full repair can't be finished immediately, we restore safe temporary power so your property or business isn't left without lighting or essential circuits overnight.
Do you provide a certificate after the work?
For notifiable work and consumer unit replacements, yes — you'll receive the relevant electrical certification, plus a written summary of the fault and repair suitable for landlords, insurers or building control.
The same circuit keeps tripping after you've made it safe — what then?
A make-safe removes the immediate danger, but if a fault keeps recurring we'll recommend (and quote for) the underlying fix — whether that's a faulty appliance, degraded cabling or an outdated consumer unit — rather than leaving you to reset the same trip repeatedly.
