There are many reasons why you may need to call an emergency electrician; a power outage, flickering lights, a broken light switch or a socket which doesn’t appear to be working. Not all electrical problems are an emergency, of course. But, when one occurs, it’s essential to contact an electrician immediately. Never attempt to deal with the issue yourself, as that could prove fatal.
Emergency Electrician London: water damage
One of the main reasons to call an emergency electrician is when there is water damage in your home or business.
This could be because of a burst pipe or a leak – regardless of where the water comes from, it’s dangerous to switch on lighting or other electrical equipment. Instead, you’ll need an electrician to disable the power supply until a solution to the water damage is found.

Emergency Electrician London: further issues
Other common reasons for calling out an emergency electrician include exposed wires, an outlet that is ‘sparking’ or a light switch or socket etc. making a strange ‘humming’ noise.
In the case of a sparking outlet, this can be down to an overloaded circuit, old wiring or the appliance itself proving faulty. Exposed wires are particularly dangerous, as touching the socket or switch in question could result in an electric shock (which can prove fatal).
Finally, any humming noise could be because the outlet is overloaded, a faulty wire or a loose connection. This is when a spark could result in a house fire.
