It depends on where you are and what's happening, but we'll talk you through the problem on the phone, help you make the situation safe, and give you an idea of when an electrician can be with you.
We'll explain our emergency charges on the phone before anyone is sent, so there are no surprises. If the fault needs further work, we'll give you a clear quote before carrying it out.
If your neighbours or street lights are also off, it's likely a power cut on the network. Call 105, the free national power cut number, to report it. If it's only your property, check your consumer unit for a tripped switch and call us if the power won't stay on.
Try switching off all the circuit breakers, resetting the RCD, then switching the breakers back on one at a time. If it trips on a particular circuit, leave that one off and call us. Don't keep resetting a switch that trips straight away.
