1) What is the problem?
What to do right now while you wait
- If you smell burning or see sparks, switch off your main consumer unit at the fuse board if it is safe to reach
- Never touch exposed wiring, damaged sockets or wet electrical fittings — stay well clear
- Keep children and pets away from the affected area and any exposed fittings until the engineer confirms it is safe
- If you suspect a gas issue alongside the electrical fault, leave the property immediately — do not use your phone inside — and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 (free, 24 hours, NOT British Gas — this is the official national emergency line run by Cadent Gas)
- Unplug appliances from affected circuits to prevent damage when power is restored
- Check if it is a street-wide power cut before calling an electrician — call 105 free (the national power cut helpline) or check Northern Powergrid's outage map at northernpowergrid.com — if the whole street is out it is a network issue not an electrical fault in your property
- If water is near any electrical fittings, turn off your consumer unit before anything else — water and electricity together is a serious safety risk

What counts as an electrical emergency?⌄
An electrical emergency is any fault creating a safety risk or leaving your home without power – total power loss, burning smells, sparks from sockets or switches, a fuse box that keeps tripping and will not reset, and any fault involving water near electrical fittings. If unsure, call us – we will advise you free of charge.
How much does an emergency electrician cost in Hull?⌄
Our price depends on the time of day. During standard hours (8am–6pm) the first hour is £125. Evening calls (6pm–10pm) are £150 for the first hour. Late night callouts (10pm–8am) are £175 for the first hour. Weekend and bank holiday rates are £150 for the first hour. After the first hour the rate is £65 per hour at all times. Parts are quoted separately before any work starts. Fix & Assist Plan members pay nothing for covered faults.
Is there a call-out fee?⌄
No hidden call-out fee. The first-hour price covers the engineer's travel, arrival and first hour of labour. You see this price before anyone leaves to come to you.
What should I do if I have no power in Hull?⌄
First check if it is a street-wide power cut — call 105 free (the national power cut helpline available 24 hours) or check Northern Powergrid's outage map at northernpowergrid.com. If the whole street is affected it is a network issue and not a fault in your property. If it is only your property, check your consumer unit for tripped switches and try resetting them. Keep children and pets away from any affected areas. If you cannot identify or safely fix the cause, call us and we will have an engineer with you today.
