Emergency Electrician in Liverpool

An emergency electrician is also known as an out of hours electrician, a 24 hour electrician and an emergency response electrician. We are on standby all day and night to attend to your urgent electrical problems. Whether it is a complete power failure, a burning smell, tripping switches, or exposed wiring, we have the knowledge, experience, and test equipment to diagnose the problem quickly and carry out safe repairs.

We aim to attend all emergencies within 2 hours depending on the severity and electrician availability. Our record response time is just 8 minutes. We will listen to your problem on the phone, discuss how quickly we should attend, and give you an honest ETA. Once booked, you will receive a text when we are on the way and a Google Maps tracking link.

Our weekday emergency call out (Monday to Friday, 08:00–17:00) costs £120 for the first hour including circuit testing and visual inspection. Out of hours, weekends and bank holidays cost £180 for the first hour. Most problems are resolved within the first hour. If further work is needed, we will always provide a clear written quote before proceeding.

This includes Aigburth, Allerton, Anfield, Bootle, Childwall, Crosby, Croxteth, Everton, Garston, Gateacre, Huyton, Kirkby, Kirkdale, Knotty Ash, Mossley Hill, Norris Green, Old Swan, Speke, St Helens, Tuebrook, Walton, Warrington, Wavertree, West Derby, Widnes, and Woolton.

During normal working hours, yes — we are always happy to have a chat. Out of hours, we will answer the phone but only to arrange attendance. During the booking process, we will talk you through what steps to take to make your electrical system safe until we arrive.

If the problem can wait, we can arrange to attend within a few days at a mutually convenient time. We will always be honest about whether an emergency visit is actually necessary. There is no point paying an emergency rate if the issue can safely wait.

If you feel there is danger such as fire or smoke, please call 999. For power cuts affecting your whole street, call 105 (free) to report to your network operator. For faults within your own property, call us on 0151 351 4011.

Yes. Faulty wiring is a leading cause of house fires in the UK. Warning signs include frequently tripping switches, flickering lights, burning smells, warm or discoloured sockets, and sparks when plugging in. Liverpool has many older properties with aging wiring. If you notice any of these signs, do not ignore them.

Our out of hours rate (evenings after 17:00, weekends and bank holidays) is £180 for the first hour. Weekday daytime emergencies are £120 for the first hour. Both include circuit testing and visual inspection. No hidden fees — we always quote before starting additional work.
