Emergency electrician help in South Croydon
- 01
What counts as an electrical emergency
Call straight away if you smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, hear buzzing from a socket or switch, find exposed wires or lose power to part of the house while neighbours still have theirs. Water leaking near electrics, or a trip switch that won't reset, also needs prompt attention.

What to do while you wait
If it's safe to reach, switch off the main switch at your consumer unit and keep everyone away from the problem area. Don't touch anything that is wet, hot or damaged. If you smell burning or see smoke, leave the building and call 999 first.

When the whole street is off
If your neighbours have lost power too, the problem is most likely on the network rather than in your home. Call 105, the free national power cut number, to report it. If only your property is affected, the fault is usually on your side of the meter and we can help.
What to expect from an emergency electrician
When you call, we ask what you can see, hear or smell, and talk you through making the area safe. An electrician then comes out, isolates the faulty circuit and tests to find the cause. Our first aim is always to make the installation safe and get your power back where we can.
Some faults can be fixed on the spot, such as a failed switch or a damaged length of cable. Others need parts or more work, so we make things safe and give you a free quote for the full repair. Anything we repair is tested before we leave.

Emergency electrician questions
How quickly can an emergency electrician get to me in South Croydon?
We aim to respond the same day, and our emergency call-outs run 24/7. How soon an electrician can arrive depends on the time and the jobs already booked, so we'll give you an honest idea when you call. If there's immediate danger, we'll tell you how to make things safe first.
Do you charge a call-out fee for emergencies in South Croydon?
No. There's no call-out charge for emergency visits, day or night. You pay for the work needed to make things safe and fix the fault, and we explain the cost before carrying out any repair that goes beyond making the installation safe.
My power keeps tripping in my Croydon home, is it an emergency?
It can be. A trip switch that keeps going off is a sign that something is wrong, such as a faulty appliance, damp in a fitting or damaged wiring. Unplug everything on that circuit and try resetting it. If it still trips, or you smell burning, call an electrician.
What should I do if water gets into my electrics?
Switch off the power at the main switch if you can reach it without touching water, and don't use any sockets or lights in the wet area. Call an electrician before switching back on. Wiring that has been wet needs testing, even once it looks dry.
