What to Do Before Our Engineer Arrives

If you are experiencing an electrical emergency or a sudden fault, it is important to take these immediate steps:

  1. Locate Your Consumer Unit: Check if the main RCD or circuit breakers have tripped to the 'OFF' position.
  2. Unplug: If a fault occurs after plugging in an item, instead of attempting a reset immediately, unplug it from the wall.
  3. Prioritise Safety: Refrain from removing socket faceplates, touching exposed wires, or attempting DIY repairs to diagnose the issue. Isolation of the main power is immediately required if you smell burning or see smoke.
