If there is immediate danger, switch off power if safe to do so and call 999. For urgent non-life-threatening electrical faults — power failures, tripped circuits, sparking sockets — submit a request and we'll route your enquiry urgently.
TradeSpan Electrical routes urgent electrical enquiries to qualified local electricians. Submit a request and we aim to respond quickly during business hours. Availability depends on contractor capacity and location.
If your property has lost all power and it is not a street-wide outage, there is likely a fault at your consumer unit, main fuse or supply connection. Submit a request and we'll route your enquiry to a local electrician.
An RCD or breaker that keeps tripping after reset indicates a fault in the circuit or a connected appliance. Do not keep forcing a reset — request a professional diagnosis.
Burning smells from sockets, switches or consumer units and visible sparking are signs of a serious fault. If there is immediate danger, switch off power if safe and call 999. Otherwise submit a request immediately.
Power lost to specific rooms or circuits while the rest of the property works normally indicates a ring main fault, junction box issue or tripped individual breaker.
External wiring, meter boxes and underground cables can be damaged by severe weather. Do not attempt to restore power without a professional assessment first.
Power loss or tripped circuits following self-installed appliances, sockets or light fittings. Submit a request for a professional assessment before continuing.

Your Details
By submitting, you agree that TradeSpan may contact you and share your enquiry with a suitable local electrician for quote purposes only.What counts as an electrical emergency?
A genuine emergency involves immediate risk to life or property — burning smells, visible sparking, flooding near electrical installations, or total power loss in vulnerable households. If there is immediate danger, call 999 first.
Can I reset my fuse box myself?
You can attempt a single reset of a tripped breaker or RCD. If it trips again immediately, do not force it — there is a fault that requires professional diagnosis.
How quickly can you get an electrician to me?
We aim to respond to urgent enquiries quickly during business hours. Availability varies by location, time of day and contractor capacity. We cannot guarantee same-hour attendance.
Is it safe to leave the power off overnight?
If you have isolated the fault by switching off the affected circuit, it is generally safe to leave the rest of the property powered. For total power loss in winter or with vulnerable occupants, treat it as urgent.
Do you cover emergency call-outs?
We route emergency enquiries to qualified local electricians in our network. Availability depends on location and contractor capacity. Submit a request and we will aim to respond quickly.
