How quickly can someone attend?
It depends on the job and availability. Call 01792 677543 for urgent issues so we can advise straight away.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything that presents an immediate risk — burning smells, sparking, exposed live wires, water near electrics or a complete loss of power you cannot restore.
What should I do while I wait?
If it is safe to do so, switch off the main switch at your consumer unit and keep people away from the affected area.
Can you repair just one socket?
Yes. Small jobs are welcome — just tell us what you need when you get in touch.
How long does a house rewire take?
A typical three-bedroom house takes around 5–10 working days depending on size, access and whether the property is occupied.
Can I stay in the house during a rewire?
Often yes, although there will be disruption. Your electrician will talk you through the options.
How long does a consumer unit replacement take?
Usually around half a day to a day, with the power off for part of that time.
How often do I need an EICR?
Rented properties typically need one every 5 years. Homeowners are advised to have one every 10 years.
What happens if my EICR is unsatisfactory?
You will be told exactly what needs fixing and can request a quote for the remedial work.
Why does my fuse box keep tripping?
Common causes include a faulty appliance, moisture in an outdoor socket, damaged cables or an overloaded circuit.
Can you fit lights in a bathroom?
Yes, using fittings with the correct IP rating for each bathroom zone.
Do I need a new consumer unit for an EV charger?
Not always. It depends on the age and capacity of your existing board — this is checked during the survey.
