Water coming through a light fitting
If water from a leak or burst pipe is dripping through a ceiling light, switch off the power at the main switch straight away and don't touch the fitting or switches. Turn off the water at the stopcock too, then call us to make the circuit safe once it's dry enough to test.

A nail or screw through a cable
Hanging a picture or fixing a shelf can catch a hidden cable. If the circuit trips, there's a smell of burning or the wall feels warm, leave the nail where it is, keep the circuit off and call us. Pulling it out can expose a live conductor.

Made safe tonight, finished later
Some emergencies in Castlepark need two stages. On the first visit, we isolate the fault and get the rest of the house back on, so you have heat, light and a working fridge. The full repair, if it needs parts or longer work, is then booked for a time that suits you.
Booking an emergency electrician in Castlepark
Castlepark is part of Irvine, where SM Electrical is based, so it's within easy reach for emergency call-outs. When you ring, tell us what you've noticed and whether anyone is at risk, and we'll talk you through switching off safely before we set off.
Once we're with you, we find and isolate the fault, test the affected circuit and explain what's happened. You'll get a price before any repair is carried out, and if new wiring or accessories are fitted, you'll receive a certificate for that work.

Emergency electrician in Castlepark: your questions
Is it safe to turn the lights on after a leak in Castlepark?
No, not until the fitting and wiring have dried out and been tested. Water and electricity together can cause shocks or a fire. Keep the circuit switched off at the consumer unit, use a torch, and call us to check it before anything is switched back on.
What should I tell you when I call about an emergency in Castlepark?
Tell us what you can see, hear or smell, which rooms or circuits have lost power, whether anything has tripped, and if anyone has had a shock. A rough idea of what happened just before, such as a leak or some DIY, helps us bring the right parts.
Do you charge extra for night-time call-outs in Castlepark?
There's no call-out charge at any hour, including nights and weekends. You pay for the work needed to make things safe and fix the fault, and we explain the price before starting any repair, so you can decide how you'd like to go ahead.
Can you fix a cable I've drilled through in Castlepark?
Yes. We cut back the damaged section and join it with a proper maintenance-free connector or replace that length of cable, then test the circuit before it goes back on. Taping up a damaged cable inside a wall isn't safe, so leave the circuit off until we arrive.
