Emergency electrician, 24 hours a day, answered by a person
Burning smell, hot socket, total power loss, a board that will not stay on. Our emergency arm, The Emergency Electricians, runs day and night across Greater Manchester and Cheshire East. Same vans, same people, one number. The Emergency Electricians has more than 250 five-star Google reviews, and you hear the callout fee on the phone before anyone sets off.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Anything that is dangerous now or leaves you without essentials: a burning smell or scorch marks, sparks, a socket or switch that is hot, water near electrics, a total loss of power when the neighbours have theirs, or a breaker that trips again as soon as it is reset. If there is smoke or flame, leave the property and call 999 first. Otherwise switch off at the main switch if safe and ring us.

- Made safe first, then the fault found and fixed where possible
- Temporary supply where a full repair needs daylight or parts

How emergency work is charged
Prices include labour, materials, testing, certificate and VAT. The written price is the price you pay unless you change the job.
What happens, start to certificate
Minute 0: an electrician answers
You are talking to someone who can read the fault. If anyone is at risk we tell you what to switch off first.
Minute 5: fee, rate and honest ETA
Said out loud on the phone, then a real arrival time based on where the nearest van is.
Within the hour: made safe
Isolate, test the board, get the property safe. Repairs come after that.
Before we leave: what and how much
What failed, what we did tonight and a written price for anything left to do.
Homeowner · Manchester · Smoke from the consumer unit
Called at 2am, on site in ten minutes, made safe on the spot
Smoke from a consumer unit with a failing main switch. Isolated, the burnt component removed and a temporary safe supply restored that night. The board was replaced two days later at the price agreed at 2am.
From our Google reviews“Amazing company. Have used them 2 times now. They are so respectful, great prices and good at communicating. Will recommend to anyone. Keep up the amazing work, thank you so much!!”
