About Our Emergency Callout Service in Carbrooke
Ring us and the first thing that happens is triage on the phone. Smoke, a burning smell, water on the installation, anyone relying on power for medical equipment. Then one more question: are the neighbours dark too?
That question matters. If the supply itself has failed, the cut-out, the main fuse or the incoming cable, it belongs to UK Power Networks and not to us. Dial 105 free from any phone and it routes to them by postcode. Rural Norfolk and Suffolk carry a lot of overhead supply and a storm takes out whole feeders. Nobody should pay an electrician for that.
If it is your installation, it gets made safe before it gets repaired. The faulty circuit is isolated and proved dead, then the rest of the property goes back on, so the heating and the freezer keep running while the repair is planned.
We take emergency calls 7 days a week, daytime and after hours. Callout is £120 + VAT Mon-Fri 8am-6pm with the first hour of labour included, or £180 + VAT after hours. Price confirmed on the phone before we come out.

Frequently Asked Questions
The power is off. Is that an electrician job or the network's?
Check the street first. If the neighbours are off too, or the lights are out along the road, it is a network fault and UK Power Networks deal with it. Dial 105 free from any phone and it routes to them automatically by postcode, day or night, at no cost to you. If it is only your property, look at the trip switches in the consumer unit (the fuse box). A breaker that will not stay in is ours.
What actually counts as an emergency?
A burning smell or scorch marks at a socket or the fuse box. Smoke. Sparking or arcing. Exposed live conductors after damage. Water onto the installation after a leak, a flood or storm damage. A shock from an appliance or a switch. A circuit that trips instantly every time you reset it. One dead socket or a broken extractor fan is not an emergency, and it costs you less as a booked visit.
What does an emergency callout cost?
£120 + VAT Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, with the first hour of labour included. £180 + VAT after hours, again with the first hour included. Beyond that it is £80/hr + VAT standard and £100/hr + VAT after hours, billed in 30-minute increments. Parts and materials are separate and charged at cost. No travel charge within our service area, and the price is confirmed on the phone before we set off.
Can you fix it the same night?
Sometimes. Sometimes the honest answer is make safe now and repair properly in daylight. A faulty circuit can be isolated at the consumer unit in minutes so the rest of the property keeps power, and that removes the danger. A repair needing a part nobody stocks at 11pm waits until morning. Repairs to an existing circuit are signed off on a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. A new circuit or a board change needs an Electrical Installation Certificate.
