24/7 Emergency Callouts

When it cannot wait until Monday

Some electrical problems can wait for an appointment. A burning smell, exposed conductors, a board that will not stay on or a building with no power are not among them.

Our emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for homes, businesses and industrial sites across Wellingborough and Northamptonshire. Call 07968 914685 — the same number also takes WhatsApp messages.

The first job on any callout is to make the installation safe. Once it is, we will tell you plainly what has failed, what it needs, and whether that is something to fix now or plan properly in daylight.

What we come out to

The faults that genuinely should not wait.

  • Burning smells & scorching

    Heat, smell or discolouration at a socket, switch or board — isolate and call.

  • Tripping breakers & RCDs

  • What counts as an electrical emergency?

    Anything unsafe or anything that stops a property or site functioning: loss of power, a board that will not stay on, a burning smell, scorching at a socket or switch, exposed conductors, or water damage to wiring. If in doubt, isolate what you safely can and call.

  • Is the emergency line really answered at night?

    Yes. 07968 914685 is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year. The same number also takes WhatsApp messages if you would rather send photographs of the problem.

  • What should I do before you arrive?

    If it is safe to do so, switch off at the consumer unit or isolator and keep people away from the area. Do not try to open equipment or reset a device that keeps tripping — it is tripping for a reason.

  • Will the repair be certified?

    Yes. A callout often starts with making things safe, but any permanent repair or replacement is tested and certified to the 18th Edition exactly as it would be on a planned job.

  • Do you cover businesses and industrial sites out of hours?

    Yes. Homes, commercial premises and industrial sites across Wellingborough and Northamptonshire, including sites we hold service contracts for, where already knowing the installation usually means finding the fault faster.
