Usually 1–2 hrs on site. Your power is off for most of that time, so plan around fridges and alarms.
How soon can an electrician come out in Great Torrington?

Is there a 24 hour electrician in Great Torrington?
Yes. Several firms covering EX38 take calls out of hours. A typical emergency call-out in Great Torrington is £125, which normally covers the first hour and getting you safe. Evenings, weekends and bank holidays sit at the top of the £95–£190 range.
How do Great Torrington prices for emergency electrician compare with Bideford?
Great Torrington typically comes in at £125 and Bideford at £115, with Devon as a whole around £120. The gap is mostly down to property type and travel, so a quote from a firm in either town is worth having.
How do I check an electrician is properly registered?
Look them up on the NICEIC, NAPIT or ELECSA register using their name or postcode, not just the logo on a van. Ask for their registration number and a copy of their insurance. A good electrician will happily send both before you book.
Do you cover the villages round Great Torrington, like Monkleigh and Little Torrington?
We do. The emergency electrician prices on this page already include jobs in Monkleigh, Little Torrington, St Giles in the Wood, Frithelstock, Merton, Langtree. Village visits are usually booked on the same days as Great Torrington work, so the next slot (today) normally applies to you too.
My trip switch keeps going off and won't reset. What should I do?
Turn every circuit breaker off, then reset the main RCD. Flick the breakers back on one at a time. The one that trips it is your problem circuit. Unplug everything on it and try again. If it still trips with nothing plugged in, it's a wiring fault and you need an electrician.
Should I get more than one quote?
Two or three is sensible. Compare what's included, not just the total: testing, certificates, making good, and how they price any extra faults found. The cheapest quote often leaves things out that turn up on the final bill.
The whole street's lost power in Great Torrington. Who do I ring?
Call 105, free from any phone. That goes to National Grid (South West), who look after the lines in EX38. It isn't an electrician's job if the neighbours are off too. If only your house is off, check the fuse box first, then call an electrician.

What counts as an electrical emergency?
Burning smells, scorch marks on a socket, sparking, a buzzing fuse box, water getting into lights or sockets, or no power when the neighbours have it. If it's just one circuit tripping and the rest of the house is fine, it can usually wait for a normal-hours visit, which is cheaper.
Who looks after the cable into my house in Great Torrington?
