Emergency electrician call-outs in Sanderstead
- 01
Faults after heavy rain or storms
Water getting into outside lights, garden sockets or a damaged cable is a common reason for the power to trip during wet weather. If your RCD trips every time it rains, leave the affected circuit off and call us. We'll find where the water is getting in and make it safe.

No heating because of an electrical fault
Boilers and heating controls need power to run. If a trip, a blown fuse in a fused spur or a faulty timer has left your Sanderstead home without heating, we can trace the electrical side and get it working, or tell you if a heating engineer is needed.

Being ready before something goes wrong
Know where your consumer unit and main switch are, keep a torch somewhere easy to reach and save our number in your phone. In an emergency, those few minutes saved make it easier to switch off safely and tell us exactly what's happening.

Emergency electrician in Sanderstead: your questions
Do you cover Sanderstead for emergency electrical call-outs at night?
Yes. Our emergency call-outs run 24/7, including nights, weekends and bank holidays, and Sanderstead is close to our South Croydon base. Call us, explain what's happened and we'll tell you how soon an electrician can get to you and what to do in the meantime.
My outside lights keep tripping the power in Sanderstead, what should I do?
Switch off the circuit that feeds the outside lights at the consumer unit and leave it off. Water in an outdoor fitting or junction box is the usual cause. Keep the rest of the house running, and we'll test the outside circuit, find the problem and reseal or replace what's needed.
Can an emergency electrician get my heating working in Sanderstead?
If the problem is electrical, such as a tripped circuit, a blown fuse in the boiler's spur or a faulty wiring centre, yes. We test the supply to the boiler and controls. If the boiler itself has failed, you'll need a Gas Safe engineer, and we'll tell you so.
How do I turn off the electricity in an emergency in Sanderstead?
Find your consumer unit, often under the stairs, in a cupboard or garage, and switch the main switch to off. Only do this if you can reach it safely and without touching water. Then call us, and don't switch back on until the fault has been checked.
