What counts as an emergency
Call straight away if you smell burning, see scorch marks or sparks, hear crackling from a socket, or lose power to the whole house while neighbours still have theirs. Water leaking near electrics, exposed live cables and a board that trips the moment you reset it are also urgent.

What to do while you wait
If it's safe, switch off the main switch at your consumer unit. Don't touch damp or damaged fittings, and keep children and pets away from the area. If there's smoke or flames, get everyone out of the property and call 999 before anything else.

Making it safe comes first
Our first job on arrival is to isolate the fault and make the property safe. Once that's done, we explain what caused the problem and whether it can be fixed there and then or needs a return visit with the right parts.
What to expect from an emergency electrician call-out
When you call, we ask what's happening so we can judge how urgent it is and talk you through any immediate safety steps. We then confirm when an electrician will reach you. There's no call-out charge, so you only pay for the work agreed.
On arrival, the electrician finds the faulty circuit, isolates it and tests the rest of the installation so you can keep power where it's safe. Simple repairs are often done on the spot. Larger jobs get a free quote, and you receive a certificate for any completed work.

Emergency electrician questions
How quickly can an emergency electrician get to me in Manchester?
We offer a same day response and 24/7 emergency call-outs across Manchester. When you call, we'll give you an arrival time based on where you are and how urgent the fault is, then talk you through making things safe until the electrician gets there.
Is there a call-out charge for an emergency electrician in Manchester?
No. There's no call-out charge, even for emergencies. You pay for the work needed to make the fault safe and any repair you agree to. We explain the cost before starting anything beyond making the property safe, so you always know where you stand.
Should I call an electrician or the network during a power cut in Manchester?
It depends on whether the problem is inside or outside your home. If neighbours have also lost power, it's likely a network fault, so call 105, the free power cut number. If only your property is affected, or your consumer unit keeps tripping, call an electrician.
Can you fix an emergency fault on the same visit in Manchester?
Often, yes. Many faults, such as a damaged socket, a failed connection or a tripping circuit, can be repaired during the call-out. If a part needs ordering or the repair is larger, we make the fault safe first, then arrange a return visit with a free quote.
