Emergency call-out & make safe
TMB Electrics carries out emergency call-out and make safe for homeowners, landlords and businesses. The dangerous circuit is isolated, remaining power stays on where it is safe, and you know what still needs repair.
“I keep things straightforward: you deal with me from the first quote to the final check, with clear advice and no surprises along the way.”

Who needs an emergency electrical call out
- You need an emergency electrician when a circuit, fitting or board is live, smoking, sparking or leaving the property without safe power.
- The consumer unit trips again as soon as you restore power, or a breaker will not stay on.
- A socket, switch, light or appliance smells of burning or shows heat damage around the fitting.
- Part or all of the house is dead after a bang, a flood, or a failed appliance, and you cannot restore it safely.
What is covered
Emergency call-out and make safe covers the visit to isolate the danger and leave the property usable where that is possible.
Included
- Attendance to find the immediate electrical danger
- Isolation of the faulty circuit, fitting or appliance
- Temporary make-safe so remaining circuits can stay on where they are safe
- A plain account of what still needs repair or replacement
- Hourly labour from £80/hr
Not included
- Complete repair of the faulty circuit after it has been made safe
- Consumer unit replacement, rewiring or new fittings beyond the make-safe
- Minor works certification, which is a separate service from £80
What happens on the day
The visit starts at the property, isolates the danger, and finishes with you knowing which circuits can stay on.
- 01
Arrival and isolation
The supply or the affected circuit is tested and switched off so nobody is left with a live fault.
- 02
Make safe on site
The dangerous fitting is disconnected or capped, and remaining circuits are restored only if they are safe to use.
- 03
What you are left with
You are told what was isolated and what still needs a separate repair.
Emergency call-out & make safe prices
Emergency call-out and make safe starts from £80/hr. That hourly starting price buys attendance, isolation of the unsafe circuit or fitting, and the make-safe labour so other circuits can stay in use where they are safe.
- The £80/hr figure is a starting hourly rate, not a fixed price for the whole visit.
- Time on site follows how long isolation and make-safe take, plus any extra circuits that must be checked.
- Parts, a later repair, a consumer unit change or a rewire are priced as their own services if they are needed after the make-safe.
What you get after a make safe
You are left with the fault isolated, usable power on safe circuits, and a named remaining repair.
- The unsafe circuit is off
- The faulty circuit or fitting is off, so it cannot keep sparking, overheating or tripping the board.
- Safe circuits stay on
- Unaffected lighting and sockets stay on when they can, so the home or premises can keep running.
- The remaining repair is named
- You leave with the remaining work named, so a later repair, board change or rewire is priced on its own.

Emergency call-out & make safe questions
People booking emergency call-out and make safe ask about the hourly price, whether power comes back, night attendance and certificates.
How much does an emergency electrician cost?+
Emergency call-out and make safe from TMB Electrics starts from £80/hr. That rate is the hourly labour for attendance and make-safe, not a fixed job price. A later repair, parts or a new board is priced as its own service once the property is safe.
— Trevor Bush
Will you put the power back on?+
Only circuits that are safe to use are restored. The faulty circuit stays isolated until it is repaired or replaced. A full repair is a separate job if the make-safe is not enough on its own.
— Trevor Bush
Do you attend electrical emergencies at night?+
The booking line answers at any time so the call-out can be arranged then. That is not a promise that an electrician is on site at every hour. The visit time is set when you book emergency call-out and make safe.
Is make safe the same as a repair?+
No. Make-safe isolates the danger so the property can be used. Repair, a consumer unit change or a rewire is extra work with its own starting price if it is needed afterwards.
Do I get a certificate on a call out?+
Emergency call-out and make safe does not include a certificate. Minor works certification from TMB Electrics starts from £80 when the work needs that document. It is added only when the job requires it.
