“Called them at 11pm when our entire upstairs lost power and the smell from the consumer unit was terrifying. Someone answered straight away, talked me through making it safe, and had an electrician here within 40 minutes. Turned out to be a serious fault that could've caused a fire. He had the parts needed and sorted everything that night. Genuinely think they saved our house.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and how we can help you
How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies in Birmingham?
We respond to new emergency inquiries within 5 minutes and dispatch the nearest qualified electrician to your location immediately. Most customers in Birmingham and across the West Midlands receive an electrician within 40-60 minutes, depending on traffic conditions. We provide accurate arrival times when you call our emergency line.
What counts as an electrical emergency that needs immediate attention?
You need emergency help if you experience sparks from outlets or switches, burning smells from your consumer unit, complete power loss, exposed live wires, or electrical shocks when touching appliances. These situations pose immediate fire risks or electrocution hazards. We also respond urgently to flickering lights accompanied by buzzing sounds, which often indicate dangerous wiring faults.
How much does an emergency electrician callout typically cost?
You only pay after we've diagnosed the actual problem, not before. Our pricing depends on the fault discovered and parts needed, but we provide transparent quotes before starting work. Unlike many emergency services charging inflated rates, we offer fair pricing without surprise fees. Most customers find our rates reasonable considering the 5-minute response time and same-visit repairs.
Will you have the parts needed to fix my problem?
We carry 90% of commonly needed electrical parts on our vans, meaning most emergency repairs get completed in one visit. This includes circuit breakers, consumer unit components, wiring materials, switches, and outlets. For unusual faults requiring specialist parts, we'll make your property safe immediately and return to complete permanent repairs quickly.
Are your emergency electricians properly qualified and insured?
Every electrician we dispatch holds full 18th Edition qualifications, and we're NICEIC Approved Contractors with comprehensive insurance coverage. All technicians are background checked and drug tested. Our Principal Duty Holder holds C&G 2391 certification, and we're registered with CheckATrade. You're getting qualified professionals, not unvetted contractors responding to emergencies.
What happens during an emergency electrical callout?
Your electrician arrives with professional testing equipment to diagnose the actual fault using thermal imaging and circuit testers. We explain what's wrong, the safety risks involved, and repair options with transparent pricing. After you approve, we complete repairs using quality parts already on our van. Every callout includes a complimentary safety inspection of your electrical panel and smoke alarms.
Do you provide emergency electrical services outside normal business hours?
Yes, electrical emergencies don't follow business hours, so we respond to urgent callouts evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. Our emergency line connects you directly to dispatch, not an answering service. Whether it's 11pm on a Sunday or early morning on a bank holiday, we'll get a qualified electrician to your property quickly.
Why should I call professionals instead of fixing electrical problems myself?
Electrical faults involve live voltages that can cause fatal electrocution or house fires if handled incorrectly. Even seemingly simple issues often have underlying causes requiring professional diagnosis. Our NICEIC electricians use proper testing equipment to identify hidden dangers and complete repairs to current safety codes, protecting your family and property insurance validity.
What areas around Birmingham do you cover for emergency callouts?
We cover all Birmingham postcodes and the entire West Midlands region for emergency electrical work. Our electricians are strategically positioned across the area, allowing us to dispatch the nearest qualified technician to your location. Whether you're in the city centre like Paradise Circus or surrounding areas, we provide the same 5-minute response commitment.
Will I receive documentation after emergency electrical repairs?
You receive detailed documentation of all work completed, parts replaced, and test results confirming your electrical system meets safety standards. This includes certification suitable for insurance claims or property records. We explain any recommended upgrades to prevent future faults and provide clear guidance on maintaining your electrical system safely.
Can you handle commercial electrical emergencies as well as domestic?
Absolutely. We've completed challenging commercial projects including emergency work for Yorks Cafe in Paradise Circus when previous contractors failed. We're trusted by Birmingham City Council, Windrush Housing, and Eden Adaptions Limited. Whether it's a domestic property or commercial premises, we have the expertise and parts inventory to resolve urgent electrical faults quickly.
What if the problem turns out to be more complex than initially thought?
We diagnose thoroughly before starting work, so you understand the full scope upfront. If testing reveals additional safety concerns beyond the immediate emergency, we explain everything clearly and let you decide how to proceed. There's no pressure or pushy upselling. Our priority is making your property safe, then discussing any further work needed to prevent future emergencies.
