Lost Power? Here’s What Could Be Causing It
Power cuts can happen for a number of reasons. Below are the most common causes — if you’re unsure, we’ll quickly diagnose the issue and restore your power safely.

Power Cut or No Power
Lost power suddenly or part of your property has no electricity? This could be caused by a tripped circuit, wiring fault, or issue with your electrical system. We’ll quickly find the cause and restore your power safely.

Tripped Fuse Box
A tripped fuse box is one of the most common reasons for a power cut. If your consumer unit won’t reset or keeps shutting off, we’ll safely inspect and fix the issue.

Overloaded Circuit
Too many appliances running at once can overload your system and cause a sudden loss of power. We’ll identify the issue and get your electrics back up and running.
What To Do During a Power Cut
Follow these simple steps:
Check your fuse box
See if a breaker has tripped. If it’s safe to do so, you can try resetting it once.
Unplug appliances
Turn off and unplug electrical devices to prevent overload when power is restored.
Do not keep resetting the power
If your electrics keep tripping, don’t repeatedly reset the fuse box — this could indicate a serious fault.
Stay clear of any burning smells or sparks
If you notice anything unusual, avoid the area and call an emergency electrician immediately.
Electrical faults can be unpredictable, so it’s always best to get professional help as soon as possible.

Ben came out in a hour as promised and fixed the issue as well as found another problem with our socket we didnt know about and fixed that too saved us a expensive bill later down the line great servicePosted on Matthew WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent job - prompt and efficient!Posted on A RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super fast service. Came out on a bank holiday and sorted it quickly. Thank you.Posted on JessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got a call out to fix our lights on a bank holiday and Steven was super helpful and informative. Also managed to solve our shower issue at the same time. Fixed the issues and was very knowledgeable and happy to talk us through the issues and how he resolved them. Clean and tidy while working and got excellent value for money. Would reccomend to anyone. Thank you so much to Steven.Posted on Martin DonaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say. I am so paranoid about electricity. Decided to finally wall mount my Dyson vacuum cleaner after 3 years just before Easter. 5 minute job, except when the drill hits a live cable buried in the wall which wasn't picked up by a cable tester. Can't understand why I wasn't thrown across the kitchen as the drill bit was fried. Fridge, cooker etc dead as rfd tripped. I'm thinking, great, that's easter stuffed as I'll never get someone out to fix this. Once reset, all working again except there's a damaged fire potential cable lurking behind the plaster . One of those should have just left it moments! Anyway, phoned electrition contacts out of local directory no availability. Google emergency call outs and this local company appears with great feedback. Make the call, owner, I presume Steve, is out walking the dog but says I will be called back straight away which I am. Upfront cost explained and someone will be round in half an hour. That's exactly what happened, problem sorted plus a few other bits and pieces by a very personable Albanian gentleman. Turns out, if I'd been a few centimeters higher or lower I would have missed it as it was running horizontally! Yes cost a bit more than I was anticipating, but Easter would have been a right off and all was sorted very quickly, very professionally and I did not feel duped at all. So many thanks, great service and would recommend you to anyone in an emergency or just looking at getting some electrical work carried out.Posted on Pauline GuillembetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Stephen on Sunday for an emergency and he was at my house in under 30 minutes. Really efficient, polite and professional and the price was very fair for a Sunday call-out. Great service and would definitely recommend.Posted on David BakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
