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 Northam & Appledore?
National Grid (South West) owns the supply cable, the main fuse and the cutout in EX39. Your electrician can't touch those. If the cutout is cracked, scorched or old, they'll report it, and National Grid (South West) usually replaces it free.
Water got into my sockets in Northam & Appledore. Is it safe to switch back on?
No, not until it's tested. Leave the main switch off and call an electrician. Wet sockets and cables can look fine and still leak current. Insurers usually want a written test result, so ask for an EICR or a written inspection afterwards.
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.
Can someone fix a fault between guests at my Northam & Appledore let?
Usually, if you ring early. Changeover days are busy in Northam & Appledore, so give the electrician a key-safe code and a list of what's wrong. Expect around £125 for a typical visit. Photos of the fuse box sent ahead save time.
