When to call an emergency electrician
Call straight away if you smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, hear buzzing from a socket or switch, or lose power to the whole house when your neighbours still have it. Water leaking near lights or sockets is also an emergency. These faults can start a fire or give someone a shock.

What to do while you wait
If it is safe to reach, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit. Unplug anything near the problem and keep people away from it. Do not touch wet fittings or exposed wires. If the whole street is dark, call 105 to report a power cut to your network operator.

What happens when we arrive
Our first job is to make the installation safe, which may mean isolating one circuit so the rest of the house can stay on. We then find the cause and tell you what it needs. Many faults are fixed on the same visit, and bigger repairs are quoted before we start.
What to expect from an emergency electrician
When you call, we ask what you can see, smell or hear, and talk you through switching off safely if needed. We confirm your address and give you an idea of when we can get to you. There is no call-out charge for coming out to look at the fault.
On site, we isolate the faulty circuit, test it to find the cause and explain what we have found in plain words. If the repair can be done there and then, we agree the price with you first. Once it is fixed, we test the circuit again before switching it back on.

Emergency electrician questions
How quickly can an emergency electrician get to me in Talke?
We aim to respond the same day across Talke and Stoke-on-Trent, and urgent faults are dealt with as quickly as we can manage. When you call, tell us exactly what is happening so we can give you safety advice straight away and a realistic idea of when we will arrive.
Is a tripping consumer unit an emergency in my Talke home?
Not always. If one circuit trips once and resets, unplug the appliances on it and try again, because a faulty appliance is a common cause. If it will not reset, trips again and again, or you can smell burning, call us and leave it switched off.
Do you charge extra to come out in an emergency near Kidsgrove?
There is no call-out charge for coming out to look at the problem around Kidsgrove, Talke or the rest of our area. Once we have found the fault, we tell you what the repair involves and agree the price with you before we carry out any work.
What if the emergency repair needs more work later?
Sometimes a fault shows a bigger problem, such as old wiring or a board without RCD protection. We make everything safe on the day, explain what we found and give you a separate quote for the longer-term fix, so you can decide in your own time.
