Chewed cables in the loft
Mice and rats in lofts and under floors can chew through cable sheathing, causing trips, flickering or burning smells. If you hear scratching and notice electrical faults, it's worth having the circuits tested. Damaged sections need replacing, not just taping up.

A shower that cuts out or smells hot
An electric shower that suddenly stops, trips the circuit or gives off a hot or burning smell may have a failing element or an overheating connection. Switch it off at the pull-cord or isolator and don't use it again until it has been tested.

Emergency electrician in Lawthorn: common questions
Who pays for an emergency electrician in a rented home in Lawthorn?
In most cases the landlord pays for repairs to the electrical installation, as Scottish landlords must keep it in a safe condition. Tenants should report the fault to their landlord or agent first. If damage was caused by a tenant's own appliance or misuse, the cost may fall to them.
Can you come out early in the morning in Lawthorn?
Yes. Emergency call-outs are available 24 hours a day, and our normal working hours run from 5am to 11pm, seven days a week. That makes it easier to book a follow-up repair before work or in the evening without taking time off.
Why does my shower keep cutting out in Lawthorn?
A shower that cuts out mid-wash may be overheating, have low water pressure tripping its safety cut-out, or have a failing element or switch. If it also trips the consumer unit or smells hot, stop using it and call us so the circuit can be tested.
Should I worry about mice near the wiring in my Lawthorn home?
Yes, it's worth checking. Rodents can strip the outer sheath and insulation from cables, leaving bare conductors that can cause shocks or fires. Deal with the pests first, then have the affected circuits inspected and any damaged cable replaced before it causes a fault.
