Electrical Emergencies We Respond To
Six common electrical emergencies we deal with every week in Glasgow. If your situation is not listed, call us anyway — we handle all electrical emergencies.
Complete Power Loss
If your entire property has lost power and the neighbours still have theirs, the fault is in your installation. We trace the issue from the meter and consumer unit through to the fault — whether it is a blown main fuse, failed RCD or damaged supply cable.
Burning Smell From Electrics
A burning plastic or rubber smell indicates overheating cables, loose terminals or an overloaded circuit. This is a serious fire risk. We isolate the affected circuit, locate the source with thermal imaging and carry out emergency repairs to make your property safe.
Sparking Sockets or Switches
Visible sparks mean arcing is occurring inside the fitting. Arcing generates extreme heat and can ignite surrounding materials. We isolate the circuit immediately, replace the damaged fitting and inspect the wiring behind it for heat damage.
Exposed or Damaged Wiring
Bare wires from DIY work, rodent damage or accidental drilling are an immediate shock hazard. We make the circuit safe, repair or replace the damaged cable section, and test the entire circuit before restoring power.
Electric Shock Risk
If you have received even a mild electric shock from an appliance, socket or fitting, there is a serious fault present. We carry out emergency isolation, full earth testing and identify the source of the leakage before it causes serious injury.
Water Damage to Electrics
Burst pipes, leaks or flooding can damage electrical systems in walls, ceilings and under floors. Water and electricity are a lethal combination. We isolate all affected circuits, assess the damage and carry out safe repairs or replacements.
