Emergency electrical dispatch

Emergency electrician costs and our call-out charge

Our call-out is £50 plus VAT (£60 total). Remaining work is quoted before it starts. Quotes are free when no visit is needed, and we do not use a fixed hourly or day rate.

If there is smoke, fire, electric shock risk, exposed live wiring or water near electrics, move away from the hazard and call emergency services first.

£60 call-out including VAT

The call-out charge is £50 plus £10 VAT, making £60 in total. This is the attendance charge, not a fixed total price for finding and repairing every fault. Confirm what investigation is proposed before approving it.

We do not publish a fixed hourly or day rate. The remaining work is quoted before it starts. A quote that can be provided without a visit is free.

How the rest of the price is agreed

The scope depends on the fault, affected circuits, access, parts, testing and any work needed after the immediate problem is made safe. Tell us what has failed, the postcode and any access restrictions. The electrician explains the findings and the proposed next stage so you can agree the work and price.

If the scope changes, ask for the revised quote before additional work proceeds. We do not provide invented price ranges or automatic time-of-day surcharges on this page.

Questions to settle before work starts

  • What attendance and investigation am I authorising?
  • Which repair, parts and testing are covered by the proposed quote?
  • Will any circuit have to remain off?
  • Does the work need a return visit, and how will that be quoted?
  • What job records and any applicable certificates will I receive?

For recurring trips, read about electrical fault finding. For planned board work, see consumer-unit replacement quote factors. Request a quote with your postcode and the work you need.
