A genuine electrical emergency is any situation where electricity poses an immediate risk to life or property. In Putney, the most common emergencies we attend are complete or partial power loss — often caused by a failed consumer unit component, a loose connection, or an external supply fault. When the lights go out and resetting the RCD does nothing, you need a qualified emergency electrician who can diagnose the root cause safely. Mark carries calibrated multimeters, insulation testers, and loop impedance testers to identify whether the fault is internal or external, and carries out safe isolation before attempting any restoration.

Burning smells, scorch marks, or buzzing from sockets, switches, or fuse boxes are red flags that demand immediate attention. These symptoms typically indicate overheating connections, overloaded circuits, or failing components that could develop into an electrical fire within hours. Mark responds urgently to Putney emergency calls involving burning smells, tracing the affected circuit, isolating it safely, and identifying whether the fault is a loose terminal, degraded insulation, or an overloaded circuit drawing more current than its rating allows. In every case, the priority is making the property safe before discussing permanent repair options.
