Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you get to me?
It depends on the day and where you are. We are based in South Bristol, so for BS13, BS14, BS3, BS4 and BS41 we can often attend the same day. Call us and we will give you an honest arrival time straight away.
My fuse board keeps tripping. What should I do?
Unplug appliances on the affected circuit, then try resetting the switch. If it holds, one of the appliances is likely at fault. If it will not reset or trips again immediately, leave it off and call us; repeatedly forcing a tripping device can be dangerous.
How does pricing work for emergency call-outs?
Initial attendance is £140 + VAT (£168 inc VAT): up to around an hour on site to make things safe and find the fault, with many repairs done there and then. Bigger repairs are £320 + VAT for a half day or £620 + VAT for a full day, and you approve the price before any chargeable repair starts. Materials are extra and always itemised.
