Isolate the Power – If it is safe to do so, turn off the main switch on your fuse board. If you smell burning or see sparks from a specific appliance, unplug it immediately.
Do Not Touch Exposed Wires – If a socket has melted or wires are visible, keep children and pets away. Even if the power seems "off," wires can remain live and dangerous.
Check Your Neighbours – Is the whole street dark? If so, it’s a grid utility issue (Call 105). If it’s only your Blackburn property, the fault is internal and requires an emergency electrician.
Avoid "DIY" Fault Finding – Never attempt to dismantle a consumer unit or socket during a fault. Modern 18th Edition systems require calibrated testing to identify the root cause safely.
Prepare for the Electrician – Clear the area around your fuse box (usually under stairs or in the garage) so Azeem can begin diagnostic testing the moment he arrives at your property.

If you have a total power loss (and your neighbours have power), smell burning plastic/fish, see sparks from outlets, or hear loud buzzing from your fuse box, you have an emergency. These are significant fire and safety risks that require immediate professional attention.
We prioritise emergency call-outs. As a local Blackburn-based service, we aim to be on-site as quickly as possible. When you call, we will give you an accurate estimated arrival time and safety advice to follow until we arrive.
We believe in transparent pricing, even in a crisis. We charge a competitive fixed fee for the initial emergency call-out and the first hour of diagnostic work. If further repairs or parts are needed, we will provide a clear quote before proceeding.
Our goal is always a "first-time fix." Azeem carries a wide range of common parts—such as RCDs, circuit breakers, and sockets—on the vehicle. In the rare case that a specialist part is needed, we will ensure the system is left in a 100% safe condition.
Do not force the switch to stay up. This is a safety feature telling you there is a fault. Unplug all appliances on that circuit and try to reset it. If it still trips, call us immediately. There is likely a "dead short" or a faulty component that requires testing.
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency support for commercial properties in Blackburn, including shops, offices, and landlords. We understand that power loss equals lost revenue, so we work fast to get your business back online safely.
