What's involved
A priority call-out to make the fault safe fast — day, night, weekends or bank holidays. We diagnose the cause (a tripping RCD, a dead circuit, an overloaded board, water ingress or a burnt-out accessory), isolate the danger and either carry out an immediate repair or give a clear quote to fix it.
- Vans carry common parts — RCDs, MCBs, RCBOs, sockets and switches — so most faults are made safe and repaired on the first visit.
- We give a realistic ETA and safety advice over the phone while you wait, and confirm the call-out fee before we set off.
- Out-of-hours, weekend and bank-holiday rates are higher than a standard daytime visit — we're upfront about that.

24hr Emergency Electrician — FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in an emergency?
We aim to reach most Billericay, Wickford and Basildon postcodes within 60–90 minutes, day or night. Call us and we'll give you a realistic ETA and safety advice while you wait.
Do you charge more at night or at weekends?
Yes — out-of-hours, weekend and bank-holiday call-outs carry a higher rate than a standard daytime visit. We'll confirm the call-out fee before we set off so there are no surprises.
What should I do while I wait for you?
If it's safe, switch off the affected circuit (or the main switch) at the consumer unit and unplug any appliance that caused the trip. Don't touch wet, scorched or sparking fittings, and keep everyone clear.
Can you fix the problem there and then?
In most cases yes — our vans carry common parts such as RCDs, MCBs, sockets and switches, so the majority of faults are made safe and repaired on the first visit.
