Common Questions

Emergency Electrician FAQs

How quickly can you attend an electrical emergency in Warrington?
For genuine electrical emergencies in Warrington and the immediate surrounding area, we aim to attend within 3-4 hours. Our engineers are local. We’ll give you an estimated arrival time when you call and update you if there are any delays.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
An electrical emergency is any situation posing immediate danger of fire, electric shock, or serious property damage. This includes: burning smells or smoke from electrical fittings, sparking sockets or switches, exposed live wiring, electric shocks from appliances or fixtures, complete power loss (especially in cold weather or affecting vulnerable people), water contact with electrics, and lightning or storm damage. If you’re unsure, call us β€” we’d rather assess it and find it’s not urgent than have you wait with a dangerous fault.
Do you charge more for emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency callout fee is Β£120 (compared to Β£85 for standard fault-finding callouts during business hours). The callout fee includes the first hour on-site. Repair work is quoted separately and transparently before we proceed.
What should I do while waiting for the emergency electrician?
If it’s safe to do so, turn off power at the consumer unit to isolate the faulty circuit or the entire property if necessary. Keep people and pets away from the affected area. If you smell burning, see smoke, or suspect an electrical fire, evacuate the property and call 999 immediately β€” then call us. Do not touch exposed wiring or attempt repairs yourself. If someone has received an electric shock, call 999 first. Our emergency line operator will provide specific safety advice based on your situation when you call.
Can you fix the problem during the emergency visit?
Often, yes. Our vans carry common parts and equipment for typical electrical repairs. For straightforward emergencies β€” damaged sockets, tripped circuits, loose connections, failed switches β€” we can usually complete the repair during the emergency visit. For more complex work requiring specialist parts (consumer unit replacements, extensive cable repairs), we’ll make the property electrically safe, quote for the permanent repair, and schedule a return visit.
Are your emergency electricians qualified and insured?
Yes. Every electrician who attends an emergency is NICEIC registered, fully qualified to 18th Edition BS 7671 standards, and carries professional testing equipment. We’re also fully insured with Β£10 million public liability coverage. We don’t use subcontractors β€” all our emergency engineers are directly employed by Hohm Property Services.
What if my emergency is caused by my energy supplier?
If you have no power and none of your neighbours are affected, the problem is likely with your installation rather than the supply. However, if multiple properties in your area have lost power, contact your electricity supplier (call 105 or your supplier’s emergency line). If you’re unsure whether it’s a supply or installation issue, call us β€” we can attend and diagnose. If the fault is with the incoming supply rather than your installation, we’ll advise you and won’t charge for the callout.
Do you provide certification for emergency work?
Yes. All electrical work β€” including emergency repairs β€” is tested and certified to BS 7671 (18th Edition) wiring regulations. You’ll receive either a Minor Works Certificate or an Electrical Installation Certificate depending on the scope of work. This documentation is essential for insurance claims, landlord compliance, and property sales.
