The Emergency Electricians handle every kind of electrical emergency across Greater Manchester and Cheshire East, 24 hours a day. An electrician answers, the call-out fee is confirmed before we set off, and repairs are quoted before any work starts.
Whether the whole house has gone dark or only some rooms, we trace where the supply stops and restore it safely. If the fault is on the network rather than your installation, we tell you straight away so you can call 105, the free power cut line, and you do not pay us for a fault that is not yours.
An RCD that keeps tripping is detecting a real fault, usually damp, damaged cable or a failing appliance. We test each circuit with proper instruments, find the leak, and either repair it there and then or isolate it so the rest of the house works while the repair is quoted.
A fishy or hot-plastic smell, a crackle, scorch marks or a socket that is warm to the touch all mean insulation is overheating somewhere. Switch off at the main switch and call. We find the source, isolate the damaged circuit and replace the burnt socket, fitting or section of cable.
Water getting into a ceiling rose, downlight or socket can make fittings live and trips RCDs repeatedly. Stay clear, switch off at the mains if you can reach the board dry-handed, and call. We isolate the wet circuits, dry-test them and restore everything that is safe to use.
Buzzing, a hot smell, scorch marks or an old rewireable fuse box that keeps blowing: we make it safe first, repair faulty breakers or connections, and where a board has to be replaced we quote it in full before we start. Notifiable work is certified properly.
A whole lighting circuit dead, lights flickering, a switch that crackles or a socket that has stopped working. Persistent flicker can point to a loose connection, so it is worth a call. Most of these are fixed in a single visit.
Immersion heater, electric shower, cooker, boiler supply or outdoor circuits down after a fault. One visit wherever possible, and a fixed quote before anything beyond making safe.
After a scorch, a flood or a nasty shock, or when you have just moved into a property that worries you, we test the parts of the installation at risk and tell you plainly what is safe and what is not. Full EICRs and planned upgrades go to our sister company Wired & Certified.
Tenants can call us directly out of hours. We make the property or premises safe and you get a written report and a proper invoice for your records. Shops, offices, restaurants and small industrial units get the same response as homes.
One call-out fee, covering time and travel to reach you urgently, confirmed before we dispatch. See how it works.
We assess first. If it is a small fix or it can wait for a daytime visit, we tell you and explain the options.
Installations, inspections, rewires and EV chargers are handled by our sister company Wired & Certified.
Burning smells, sparks, scorch marks, water near electrics, shocks, a board that buzzes or feels hot, and power loss you cannot reset. Our guide explains what can safely wait.
Most of the time, yes. We always make it safe first. If a part has to be ordered or a bigger job is needed, we isolate the fault so the rest of the property works and quote the repair in full.
Planned work is handled by our sister company Wired & Certified, so the emergency line stays free for emergencies.
