Electrical emergencies in Guildford properties can take many forms: a burning smell from a socket or fitting, sparks when switching a circuit on, a circuit breaker or RCD that will not stay on, a sudden total loss of power, or exposed wiring discovered during building work. In every case, safety comes before anything else.
If you smell burning, see sparks, or suspect that wiring is damaged, switch off the affected circuit at the consumer unit — or the entire consumer unit if you are unsure — and keep people away from the area. Do not attempt to reinstate power until an electrician has assessed the fault.
If there is any possibility of fire or electric shock, call 999 before anything else. This site provides an enquiry channel for electrical emergencies in Guildford.
When submitting your enquiry, include as much detail as possible: what you saw, heard, or smelled; which circuits or areas of the property are affected; whether any recent work has been carried out on the property; and whether any appliances were in use when the problem began. Clear, accurate information helps an electrician understand the situation and prepare appropriately.
