About Our Emergency Electrician Service in Colney
An emergency call is triage and make safe before it is repair. First question on the phone: is the whole street dark? If your neighbours have no power either, it is a network fault. Call 105 free of charge and UK Power Networks will deal with it. The service cable, cut-out, supplier fuse and meter belong to them. From the meter tails onwards the installation is yours, and that is where we start.
On site we isolate, prove dead, then split the fault down. A tripping RCD is usually reporting an earth fault rather than failing itself. Circuits go off, come back one at a time, and insulation resistance testing finds the damaged cable or the appliance behind it.
Sometimes the honest outcome at 11pm is one circuit isolated and locked off, a warning label fitted, everything else back on, and a return visit once the part is available. Callout is £120 + VAT Mon-Fri 8am-6pm and £180 + VAT after hours, first hour of labour included. Price confirmed on the phone before we come out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an emergency, or can it wait until Monday?
Burning smell from the electrics, smoke, scorch marks, a sparking socket outlet or switch, water getting into a consumer unit or light fitting, an exposed live conductor, or a whole property with no power. Those are emergencies. One dead socket outlet, a single light out, a doorbell or an outside light usually are not, and waiting for a weekday visit puts the callout at £120 + VAT instead of £180 + VAT.
The RCD keeps tripping. Can I just keep resetting it?
No. The RCD is doing its job, and it trips because it has detected an earth fault. Resetting repeatedly into a fault is how a nuisance trip becomes a fire. The usual culprits are a wet outside socket, a failing immersion heater element or a faulty appliance. Unplug everything on the affected circuit, try the reset once, and if it goes again leave it off and call.
Do I still pay if you cannot fix it that night?
Yes. Attendance and diagnosis is the charged work, and on an intermittent fault it is most of the work. The callout covers the first hour of labour: £120 + VAT Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, £180 + VAT after hours. Additional time is £80/hr + VAT standard and £100/hr + VAT after hours, in 30-minute increments. Parts are charged at cost. You get the price on the phone first.
My neighbours have no power either. What should I do?
Call 105. It is free and it connects you to UK Power Networks, who run the distribution network across Norfolk and Suffolk. An electrician cannot repair a network fault and cannot break the seal on the supplier's main fuse. Once the supply is back and your property alone is still dead, it becomes a job for us.
