Emergency electrician -
24/7 callout.
No power, burning smells, tripping that won't reset - call now and we'll talk you through it immediately, then get to you fast. Nights, weekends and bank holidays included.
When to call
Some faults can't wait.
If something feels dangerous, it probably is. Here's what we treat as urgent, and what happens when you call.
Genuine emergencies, prioritised
Total power loss, burning smells or scorch marks, sparking sockets, exposed live wiring, or a consumer unit that keeps tripping. Call and we'll triage on the phone straight away.
Fast, local response
We're based in Ilford, not a call-centre. That means honest ETAs and an electrician who knows the area - often with you the same hour for genuine emergencies.
Made safe, then fixed properly
First visit makes the danger safe. If a bigger repair is needed, you get a clear written quote before any further work - even at 3am, no pressure and no surprises.
Emergency FAQs
Good questions, straight answers.
If yours isn't here, call us - advice over the phone is always free.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything that's dangerous or leaves you without power: burning smells, sparks or scorch marks, a bang from the fuse box, exposed wiring, water near electrics, or a full power loss that isn't a network outage. If in doubt, call - we'll tell you honestly whether it can wait.
How fast can you get here?
For genuine emergencies in Ilford and nearby, often within the hour. We give you an honest ETA on the phone before you commit to anything.
Do you charge more out of hours?
Night, weekend and bank-holiday callouts carry an out-of-hours rate, which we state clearly on the phone before we set off. No hidden fees, and phone advice is always free.
What should I do while I wait?
If it's safe: switch off the affected circuit at the fuse box, unplug appliances on it, and keep everyone away from the fault. Never touch exposed wiring or anything wet. If there's fire or smoke, call 999 first.
Is it my problem or a power cut?
Check if neighbours have power and look up your postcode on your network operator's site (UK Power Networks for Ilford). If it's just your home, it's likely your installation - that's us.
