When to Call an Emergency Electrician

If you're experiencing any of these warning signs, it's safer to get professional help straight away rather than risk further issues:

Sparks from sockets or appliances – Visible sparking is a serious fire risk and needs immediate attention.
Burning or 'fishy' smells – Overheating wires or components can quickly lead to fire – don't ignore this.
Hot sockets, switches or cables – Warm or hot-to-touch electrics indicate overload or faulty connections.
Electric shocks – Even mild tingles when touching appliances or switches mean the system isn't safe.
Water near electrics – Flooding, leaks, or damp around sockets/wiring creates dangerous shock and corrosion risks.
Visible damage – Cracked or burnt sockets, exposed wires, or scorched marks require urgent replacement.
Frequent circuit breaker or RCD tripping – Repeated trips often signal an underlying fault or overload.

If any of these sound familiar, stay safe and call our local team right away.

More About Common Emergency Electrical Issues

Click any issue below for a quick explanation and what to do next.

A partial or complete power loss that isn’t caused by a known power cut usually means a serious fault in the wiring, consumer unit, or main supply. Don’t keep resetting breakers – call us straight away to find and fix the problem safely.

Frequent tripping is a safety feature warning of an overload, earth fault, or damaged appliance/wiring. Repeated resets can hide a dangerous issue, so get it checked quickly.

Lights that flicker, dim, or brighten suddenly often point to loose connections, overloaded circuits, or faulty wiring. This can lead to overheating and fire risk if ignored.

Any burning plastic smell or visible smoke is an immediate fire hazard. Switch off power at the main isolator if safe to do so and call an emergency electrician right away.

Visible sparks, crackling, or buzzing sounds mean loose or arcing connections. These can cause fires very quickly – treat as urgent.

Warm or hot sockets and switches usually show an overload or poor connection that is heating up. This is a common cause of electrical fires.

Water and electricity can be very dangerous together. If safe to do so, turn off power at the mains first. Then call us immediately so we can make the installation safe again.

Feeling even a mild tingle when touching an appliance, tap, or pipe means current may be leaking where it shouldn’t. These sensations definitely require further investigation by a qualified electrician.

Examples of common Residual Current Devices (RCDs/RCCBs) including 63A 30mA, 80A 30mA and 100A types used in UK consumer units

What is an RCD?

Throughout the course of our job, we address numerous fuse box and circuit board tripping issues. One of the commonest faults or problems would be a tripping "residual current device". A residual current device is also known as an RCD, RCCB, or occasionally an RCBO (an RCD combined with a miniature circuit breaker).

When an RCD trips, it is generally because the device has detected a fault in your wiring system that has resulted in a current imbalance between the live and neutral conductors. This is an essential safety device that detects that some current is now flowing to earth, thus causing the RCD to trip incredibly fast. If resetting the device causes the RCD to trip again, the stray current needs to be investigated and the problem resolved before the circuit can be re-energised. If the RCD trips intermittently, this could be due to poor circuit design, where the combined use of appliances, computer equipment, etc. exceeds the acceptable standards.

Quite often, the device does not trip at all, even when the small test button is pressed (it is recommended that the test button be pressed every six months to ensure mechanical operation). A faulty residual current device or one that doesn't trip when tested definitely requires further investigation. Looking deeper into the problem, one could find that the RCD has been operated frequently past its rated current (again through poor circuit design).
