Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Basically anything that poses an immediate safety risk or has left you without power. That includes complete power loss you can't restore, a circuit breaker that keeps tripping and won't reset, sparking from sockets or switches, a burning smell near electrical fittings, water getting into anything electrical, or if someone has received an electric shock. If there's any risk to life, call 999 first, then give us a call.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in West Sussex?
During business hours (Mon–Fri 8am–8pm, Sat 9am–5pm) we aim to be with you within the hour across Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and surrounding West Sussex. Emergency calls outside of these times will incur an out of hours surcharge. Call us and we'll give you an honest ETA and confirm pricing before we travel.
Do you charge extra for emergency callouts?
We're always transparent about pricing. During business hours (Mon–Fri 8am–8pm, Sat 9am–5pm) there's no emergency premium on top of the job cost. Emergency calls outside of these times will incur an out of hours surcharge. Either way, you'll get a clear quote before any work starts and we'll be upfront about costs before we travel.
Is it safe to stay in my home during an electrical emergency?
If you can smell burning, see sparking, or someone has had an electric shock, switch off the main switch at your consumer unit and get everyone out if there's any doubt. Don't try to investigate the wiring yourself. If there's any risk to life, call 999 first. Then call us and we'll talk you through the safest steps while we're on our way.
Can you restore power the same day?
In most cases, yes. Tripped circuits that won't reset, failed MCBs, damaged sockets or switches can usually be diagnosed and fixed in one visit. If we find something more involved underneath, like wiring damage that needs a partial rewire, we'll make everything safe and restore power to unaffected circuits before we leave, then talk you through the next steps.
Do you cover emergency callouts across all of West Sussex?
Our main emergency coverage is Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead, Cuckfield, Lindfield, Balcombe, Horsted Keynes, and the broader Mid Sussex district, plus parts of East Sussex bordering our area. Give us a call with your postcode and we'll confirm straight away.
