Here we have all the information you need to hire a local tradesperson with confidence.

  • How much do electricians charge for an emergency call out?

    Emergency electricians charge an average hourly rate of £90. You can expect to pay between £80 - £100 an hour, plus the cost of any replacement parts needed.

    Emergency electrician costs are determined by the following:

    • Type of repair work needed

    • Replacement parts

    • Time needed to fix the issue

    • Your location - labour costs vary throughout the UK

    Read our electrician cost guide for a closer look at average call out fees, hourly rates and repair costs.

    Due to the out-of-hours service they provide, it costs significantly more per hour to hire an emergency electrician. It may be more budget friendly to hire a standard electrician but waiting to deal with an electrical emergency until the morning can be dangerous.

  • When should I call an emergency electrician?

    Not all electrical faults need to be fixed immediately. Electrical repairs can often wait for regular working hours if there is no immediate risk to your home or personal safety.

    The following issues as typically classed as an electrical emergency:

    • Electrical fires

    • Fallen/falling power lines

    • Electric shock

    • Damaged circuit breaker

    • Power outage

    • Fire damage electrical outlet

    If you are experiencing any of the above, contact an emergency electrician service in Ashford Kent as soon as possible.

  • What to do if you have an electrical emergency?

    Electrical emergencies are often serious situations that need professional attention as soon as possible. Here are the steps you should take to stay safe while you wait for help to arrive:

    • Electrical fire - Contact 999 and if not dangerous to do so, turn off your home’s power supply. You may be able to put out a small electrical fire using a fire extinguisher but you should still contact 999 and ask for the fire department

    • Fallen power lines - Contact your local emergency services and your power company as soon as possible. Make sure to keep your distance from the fallen power lines

    • Electric shock - Call an ambulance for anyone who suffers a large electric shock. Remember not to touch them and if it's safe, turn off your power supply. You also need to contact an emergency electrician to fix the issue

    • Power outage - Ask your neighbours if they’re having issues with their power supply as there may be a power outage in your area. If this is a local problem, contact the power company to report the issue. If only your home has no power, try resetting your circuit breaker. Contact an emergency electrician if resetting the breaker doesn’t work

    • Damaged circuit breaker - Turn off the power supply to your home and contact an emergency electrician

    • Fire damaged outlet - Immediately switch off your mains power supply and get in touch with an emergency electrician. If there’s still a fire, you should also call the fire department

  • How long does it take for an emergency electrician to come out?

    Emergency electricians aim to arrive at a property as soon as possible. A rapid response service may be at your home within an hour of receiving your call.

    Call out times can vary and are influenced by the following factors:

    • Your location

    • Distance the electrician needs to travel

    • Traffic conditions

    • You may also need to wait longer if the emergency electrician is already out working on another job

    Ask for an estimated arrival time when you contact an emergency electrician service. The call handler should be able to give you a rough idea of when you can expect the electrician to arrive at your home.
