Looking for an Electrician in Leigh?

When you are looking for an EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN IN LEIGH then we are definitely able to help. I understand how difficult it can be when electrical problems happen and you do not know an electrician or find that your usual electrician is not available. It can be challenging to find someone trustworthy, available immediately and at a reasonable price. Let me assure you, we are here to help in an emergency and to put you are ease.

At V&A Burgess Ltd, Electrical Faults Fixed, we specialise in short notice emergency call out work across the North West. In fact, one of us is based in Lowton just a few minutes away! 😊

1) Do I need a 24-Hour Electrician?

When you find yourself in a pickle with your electrics it is best to do some checks first to see if you really do need an electrician. After all, it’s best not to pay for electrical services if you do not need to, right? 😊 So, first thing is first. Do you have a TOTAL POWER CUT? By this I mean, absolutely NO sockets, No lights, No electric shower, and No electric cooker? Also, has anything tripped at the consumer unit / fuse box?

Sometimes there can be a fault out in the street which can mean that nothing will trip in your consumer unit by you will still have absolutely no electricity in your home at all. In these cases, there is not much an electrician can do to help.

If you are unsure if anything has tripped in your consumer unit then maybe have a check of our help sheet to see if there is anything you can do yourself? We have a step-by-step guide to restoring power available FOR FREE on our website. It can be found here:

If something has tripped then that help sheet should help somewhat.

2) Check with your local electricity network provider

Give 105 a call if you have absolutely no power. This will put you through to the local company that provide the supply into your home and look after the electrical system in the street and beyond. In the Leigh area it is Electricity North West. They will be able to tell you if there are any planned works in the area or any known faults that mean there are power supply issues in your area. Before calling an EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN IN LEIGH it is often best to carry out these checks and make a couple of phone calls to see if there is anything else affecting your electricity to your home.

3) Check if your electric meter is dead?

If your electric meter has no lights and the screen is dead then it may be an issue with the supply to your home or with your electric meter. You can ring the company that you pay your electric bills to see if they know of any issues. If you have a smart meter, they are usually able to communicate with this and tell you if there are problems.

4) Still have had no luck?

If you have had no success with any of the above then it may be that you definitely DO need an electrician to come out and check what is happening with your electrical installation.

In that case, we are always happy to attend emergencies from Liverpool to Wigan, we cover across the North West and offer emergency electrical call outs to our customers. You can check out latest call out / first hour labour rates on our electrical emergency services page on the link below. The first hour is payable in advance by BACS, Debit or Credit card. This secures your booking with us meaning we will not double book your job with another. This means that one of us WILL DEFINITELY attend.  Your job will be placed into our system as a priority and one of us will be there within a couple of hours or less* during out of hours calls. Daytime emergencies may take slightly longer. Estimated arrival times will always be discussed with you at the time of booking. 😊

Call us on 01925 595 980 we can attend emergencies day and night in Leigh and surrounding areas. We aim to get you back up and running as quickly as possible with minimal fuss.

If you do require us to come out and investigate your electrical problem it will always save time if you can make sure there is good clear working access to your fuse box or consumer unit. Most electrical investigations begin in this area and then from there we will find out what has happened to allow us to further investigate and trace the issue.

5) How much does an electrical fault cost?

Fixing electrical faults can involve a whole host of different parts, tests, and unknown quantity of time. As such it is impossible to put a fixed cost on an electrical fault repair. This is not particularly helpful if you are a concerned customer hoping to get an idea of price for your problem and I do truly understand this. Let me assure you that we are about half the cost of national call centre type electrician firms in the first instance. Many companies charge around double our rates. We also specialise in this type of work as our priority so tend to be possibly slightly quicker than another electrician that does minimal fault finding or testing work 😊

Whatever the issue, after the first hour if the problem is not fixed, we are able to have a conversation with you about the problem, what is happening and what is needed in order to repair it. Most issues are resolved in the first hour and everyone is happy by occasionally things can take a little longer. Whatever happens we will communicate with you, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Do not worry about calling your local EMERGENCY ELECTRICIAN IN LEIGH we are here to help.
