No Electricity?
Whether it's the whole property or a single circuit, the cause is usually traceable. Complete loss points one way, a single dead room points another, so we start by working out which side of the consumer unit the problem sits on.
Common causes include a faulty appliance (a kettle or an old fan heater are frequent culprits), a damaged cable, water getting into wiring or an outdoor fitting, a loose connection behind a socket or in the consumer unit, an overloaded circuit, or wiring that's simply deteriorated with age.
We aim to diagnose the fault and make the installation safe as quickly as possible. If a full repair needs parts we don't carry, or better light than a torch gives you at midnight, we isolate the affected circuit, restore everything we safely can, and book the follow-up before we go.
Sound Familiar?
These are the calls that come in most often once the power's down. Any one of them is worth ringing us about.
If it's safe to reach, check the consumer unit for a tripped switch before assuming it's a wider cut. A single tripped breaker looks exactly like a supply fault from inside the house — the board is the only way to tell them apart.
Unplug whatever appliance was running when the power went. Leave it out of the socket until we've had a look at it.

FAQ
Feel free to contact us for more information
Partial power loss is one of the most common calls we get. Usually it means a single circuit has tripped and won't stay reset, so we trace which circuit's affected, find the cause, and put back on whatever we can safely restore.
If your neighbours still have power, the fault sits on your side of the supply, not the network's. It's usually the main switch, the service fuse, or wiring inside your own property giving out, rather than anything the distribution network operator needs to fix. Ring the free national power cut helpline on 105 first, since if nothing's logged for your postcode, the problem is inside your property and needs an electrician, not the network operator.
Your consumer unit splits the installation into separate circuits: lighting, sockets, the cooker, and so on, each protected by its own breaker or fuse. When only some rooms lose power, one circuit has failed or tripped while the rest of the board stays live, which points to a fault on that specific circuit rather than the supply. We isolate and test each circuit in turn to find which one's down and why.
The cut itself rarely causes damage. It's the moment supply returns that's the real risk, since a voltage surge can follow, especially after a storm-related outage. Fridges, freezers, and sensitive electronics take the brunt of it, so switch them off at the socket while the power's out if you're home to do it. Once everything's back on, give compressor appliances like fridges and freezers a few minutes before switching them on again.
Start at the consumer unit, if it's safe to reach. A switch flipped to off means a trip, not a cut, and resetting it can bring the power straight back. A genuine cut usually takes out your neighbours too, and every switch on your board stays sitting normally in the on position throughout. Board untouched and the whole street's dark? That's one for the network operator. Isolated to your property with a switch down? That's one for us.
