Emergency Electrician in Washington
Lights out, a trip switch that won’t stay up, or a socket that’s warm and brown? Ring us. Urgent faults in Washington are dealt with first.
When the electrics fail you need two things: someone who answers the phone, and a straight answer about how soon they can be there. Ring us and we’ll tell you how to make things safe right now, then get an electrician out to you in Washington.
On arrival, the job is to find out why it happened, not just push the switch back up. Simple repairs are done there and then. Anything bigger is priced and agreed before we carry on.

Why emergencies happen in Washington
Much of Washington was built in the 1970s as a new town, and many of those homes still have original circuits that have been extended for kitchens, conservatories and loft rooms. Overloaded circuits and tired accessories are behind a lot of the urgent calls we get.

What should I do while I wait?

Do you charge more for urgent visits?
You’re told the cost before anyone sets off, and repairs are priced before they start.
Do you cover all of Washington?
Yes, every village from Concord to Rickleton, plus Penshaw and Birtley.
