Electrical emergencies need a quick, calm and competent response. Our emergency electricians cover Egham and the wider Richmond, Twickenham & Staines area, with a clear priority on every call-out: make the installation safe, find the real cause of the fault and — wherever practical — fix it on the first visit.
Egham is home to Royal Holloway, University of London, so student lets and HMOs are a significant part of the local rental market alongside family homes in Englefield Green.

Emergency electrician Egham: FAQs
How quickly can an emergency electrician reach me in Egham?
It depends on your exact location in Egham and how many urgent jobs are already booked. We'll give you an honest arrival estimate when you call — we won't promise a time we can't meet.
I've lost power in Egham — is it my house or a power cut?
If neighbours have lost power too, it's probably a network fault: call 105 free to report it. If it's just your property, check the consumer unit. If a switch has tripped and won't reset with appliances unplugged, call us.
What does an emergency call-out cost?
We'll explain our call-out and labour charges on the phone before we attend. Any parts or further work are agreed with you before they're carried out.
Can you help a tenant in Egham on behalf of the landlord?
Yes. We can attend for tenants with the landlord's or agent's authorisation, make the installation safe, and report back with findings and any follow-up work needed.
