Emergency Call-Outs
The faults we get called out to most, day and night. If your problem isn't listed, ring us anyway — we'll tell you straight away whether it needs an electrician tonight or can wait until morning.
Intermittent and hidden faults traced with proper test equipment, so the repair fixes the cause rather than the symptom.
An RCD that won't reset, or a consumer unit tripping every time you plug something in. We isolate the offending circuit and make it safe.
Whole house dark, or half the sockets dead while the lights still work. We find where the supply stops and restore what we safely can.
Scorch marks, a socket that's warm to the touch, or sparking when you unplug. Stop using it and call — this one shouldn't wait.
Lighting circuits that trip, flickering fittings, or failed emergency lighting in a commercial premises that needs putting right.
Cables cut during building work, rodent damage in a loft, or wiring soaked after a leak. We isolate, repair and re-test.
Who We Are
Fast Fix started with one van and one rule: nobody sits in the dark waiting on a callback. Today we run a full emergency fleet backed by qualified electricians, stocked vans and a phone line that's answered around the clock.
You get the responsiveness of a local firm with the qualifications, insurance and wiring-regulations knowledge of a much larger contractor — on domestic call-outs and commercial systems alike.
Sound Familiar?
These are the calls we take most often. Any of them is worth a phone call — several of them shouldn't wait until morning.
If it is safe to reach, switch off the affected circuit at the consumer unit and leave it off. Unplug the appliance you were using when the fault appeared.
Do not touch damaged cable, a scorched socket or anything wet near wiring, and do not keep resetting a breaker that trips straight back — it is tripping for a reason.
If you can smell burning, see smoke or suspect a fire, leave the property and call the emergency services first.

Fault Finding
An intermittent trip that behaves perfectly while you're watching still has a cause. We work through the installation circuit by circuit with proper test equipment, so the repair fixes what's actually wrong rather than guessing at it.
Read how we trace faults → BOOK FAULT FINDINGWhat To Expect
Tell us what's happening. A real electrician picks up — evenings, weekends and bank holidays included.
You get a realistic arrival window and our call-out rate up front — before anyone sets off.
Safe isolation first, then testing to find the actual cause — explained to you in plain English.
Stocked vans fix most faults on the first visit. Anything we can't finish that night is isolated and made safe.
No Electricity?
Whether it's the whole property or a single circuit, the cause is usually traceable. Here's what we look for at a glance.
See how we diagnose it → 0333 3543 786Nothing anywhere. We check whether the supply has failed before the consumer unit or after it.
Upstairs works, downstairs doesn't. Usually one circuit that has tripped and won't stay in.
Sockets in a single room with no power, often after an appliance fault or a nail through a cable.
An RCD that drops as soon as it's reset is detecting an earth fault somewhere on the circuits it protects.
Points to an overload or a short on that specific circuit rather than the whole installation.
A washing machine, shower or kettle that trips the board is often the fault itself, not the wiring.
Whatever the cause, we aim to diagnose it and make the installation safe as quickly as possible — where a full repair needs parts or daylight, we'll restore everything we safely can and book the follow-up before we leave.
