When you need an emergency electrician in London, you need a fast response — and you need it done safely. Xtra Maintenance provides 24/7 emergency electrical call-outs across the city, supporting homes, rental properties and commercial buildings to keep people safe and restore power as quickly as possible.
When You Should Call an Emergency Electrician
Some electrical issues can wait — others can’t. Call our emergency team if you notice:
-
Power tripping or cutting out repeatedly
-
A burning or “fishy” smell from sockets or the consumer unit
-
Sparks, smoke or buzzing from fittings, switches or outlets
-
Water leaks near electrics
-
Exposed or damaged cables
-
Loss of power to vital equipment or the whole property
If you’re unsure, give us a call. We’ll ask a few simple questions and advise whether you need an emergency visit or a planned appointment.
What Our Emergency Electrician in London Can Help With
Our electricians resolve most urgent issues on the first visit. Typical emergency works include:
-
Identifying the cause of tripping circuits and RCDs
-
Making unsafe sockets, switches and lighting safe
-
Isolating and repairing short circuits and earth faults
-
Restoring power after leaks, flooding or minor fire damage
-
Inspecting and securing consumer units following damage
-
Carrying out temporary repairs to keep people safe until follow-on works
If a permanent repair isn’t possible immediately, we’ll make the area safe and explain the next steps clearly.
How Our 24/7 Emergency Service Works
We keep the process straightforward and transparent:
-
Call our office or out-of-hours number – we’ll take a few details and give immediate safety advice where needed.
-
We dispatch a qualified electrician – an engineer local to you is sent out as quickly as possible.
-
We make the property safe – any dangerous circuits are isolated and key equipment is checked.
-
We diagnose the fault – we test the affected circuits and identify the cause of the issue.
-
We repair where we can – if a full repair is possible, we’ll complete it there and then. If not, we’ll agree a clear plan and provide a quote for any further works.
Throughout the visit, we explain what we’re doing and why — so you’re never left guessing.
