Emergency electrician in Wandsworth
Power cut, burning smell, tripping breaker or exposed live wiring — 24/7, no call-out fee.
From £95
first hour on site, including diagnosis. No call-out fee.
Emergency work in the Tonsleys is usually straightforward once you get there — small properties, few circuits, faults are quick to isolate. The riverside blocks are the opposite: an apparent electrical fault in a new-build flat is very often the heat interface unit, the MVHR or the sprinkler monitoring rather than the electrical installation, and those are the building's responsibility. We will diagnose it and tell you honestly whose problem it is. Where a genuine electrical fault sits in a shared riser, the building's own contractor has to attend under their permit system.
The property types we see in Wandsworth
The Tonsleys are 1850s–1870s two-up two-down cottages, small, solid-walled and with almost no floor void — which makes every cable run a chase. Southfields is the 1900s grid between the common and the district line, larger and mostly still whole houses. Earlsfield is smaller Victorian terrace, heavily converted to flats. The riverside developments — Ram Quarter, Wandsworth Riverside Quarter — are new-build with three-phase supplies, heat networks and, importantly for us, sprinkler and alarm interfaces that mean electrical work often has to be coordinated with the building's fire strategy.
What emergency call-out involves
We answer the phone 24 hours a day and aim to be with you in 60–90 minutes. There is no call-out fee: you pay for the first hour on site and nothing to get us there. If the fault is dangerous we make it safe before we quote anything.

Getting to you in Wandsworth
Wandsworth is our furthest patch and the response time reflects the traffic on Trinity Road and the one-way system rather than the mileage. Old York Road and the Tonsleys have very limited parking and narrow streets. The riverside blocks all require concierge sign-in and most require a permit to work for anything beyond a basic repair, which we handle but which needs a day's notice.
