Emergency Electrical Services

From power outages and tripping circuits to burning smells and storm damage — we diagnose and resolve electrical emergencies across the Fylde Coast.

Power Outages & Loss of Supply

If you have lost power to part or all of your property and it is not a supply company issue, we can diagnose and resolve the fault. Common causes include tripped MCBs, failed main switches, damaged cables, and faulty consumer units.

Tripping Circuits

Circuits tripping repeatedly is a sign of an underlying fault — a short circuit, earth fault, or overloaded circuit. We trace and identify the cause using professional testing equipment and carry out the necessary repair.

Burning Smells & Sparking

If you smell burning near sockets, switches, or your consumer unit, or see sparking or scorch marks, turn off the power at the main switch immediately and call us. These are signs of a serious electrical fault that needs urgent attention.

Faulty Wiring & Connections

Loose connections, damaged cables, and deteriorated wiring can cause intermittent faults, flickering lights, and overheating. We identify the fault, make it safe, and carry out a lasting repair — not a temporary fix.

Storm & Water Damage

Storms, floods, and leaks can compromise your electrical installation. If water has entered light fittings, sockets, or your consumer unit, do not touch anything — call us. We will assess the damage and make your installation safe.

Safety Inspections

After an electrical emergency, we recommend a full inspection to ensure no hidden damage remains. We carry out EICR testing and can advise on upgrades such as a consumer unit upgrade.

Stay Safe

What to Do in an Electrical Emergency

1. Don't panic. Most electrical faults can be resolved safely once the supply is isolated.

2. If safe to do so, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit. This will isolate all circuits in your property.

3. If there is burning, sparking, or exposed wiring, do not touch anything. Move away from the affected area.

4. If someone has received an electric shock, do not touch them — call 999 immediately.

5. Call Wilsons Systems on 01253 795050 during business or extended hours. We will respond as quickly as possible.

6. For power supply issues, call 105. For life-threatening emergencies, always call 999 first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are your response times?

During business hours and extended hours, we aim to respond to emergency calls as quickly as possible. For urgent situations (burning, sparking, complete power loss), we prioritise getting an electrician to you the same day wherever feasible. Response times depend on current workload and your location on the Fylde Coast.

Are you available 24/7?

We are available during normal business hours and extended hours. Outside of these times, it is unlikely you will be able to reach us. For genuine emergencies outside our hours, we recommend calling 105 (for power supply issues) or 999 if there is immediate danger to life. We will return your call as soon as we are available.

How much does an emergency callout cost?

Emergency callout costs depend on the nature of the fault, time of day, and parts required. We are always transparent about costs — we will give you a clear indication of the likely cost before starting work. There are no hidden charges.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Complete power loss (not caused by your supplier), burning smells from sockets or your consumer unit, visible sparking, exposed live wires, circuits that trip immediately when reset, and water ingress into electrical fittings. If you are unsure, call us and we will advise.

What should I do while waiting for you?

If safe to do so, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit. Do not touch anything that is sparking, burning, or wet. Keep everyone away from the affected area. If someone has received an electric shock, call 999 immediately.

Do you charge for diagnosis?

Our callout charge covers the initial diagnosis and assessment. If the repair is straightforward, it is often completed during the same visit. If further work is needed (such as a consumer unit upgrade or rewire), we provide a separate quote.

What areas do you cover for emergency callouts?

We cover Lytham St Annes, Blackpool, Poulton-le-Fylde, Cleveleys, Thornton, Fleetwood, Kirkham, and the surrounding Fylde Coast area. Call us on 01253 795050.
