The dangerous circuit is isolated, remaining power stays on where it is safe, and you know what still needs 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. - Emergency call-out & make safe: from £80/hr - 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. ## 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. - **A board that will not reset:** The consumer unit trips again as soon as you restore power, or a breaker will not stay on. - **Burning smell or scorch marks:** A socket, switch, light or appliance smells of burning or shows heat damage around the fitting. - **No power after a fault:** Part or all of the house is dead after a bang, a flood, or a failed appliance, and you cannot restore it safely. - **A rented home or workplace:** A tenant, staff member or visitor is without light or power, and the installation must be made safe before anyone uses it. ## 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. 1. **Arrival and isolation:** The supply or the affected circuit is tested and switched off so nobody is left with a live fault. 2. **Make safe on site:** The dangerous fitting is disconnected or capped, and remaining circuits are restored only if they are safe to use. 3. **What you are left with:** You are told what was isolated and what still needs a separate repair. ## 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. ### 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. ### 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. ## Business facts - Service area: Banstead, Sutton, Wallington, Reigate, Purley, Epsom, Kingswood, Coulsdon, Tadworth, Ewell, Horley, Burgh Heath, Chipstead, Worcester Park, Ashtead - Hours: Every day 00:00–23:59 - Phone: +447460070551 - Email: trevor@tmbelectrics.co.uk ## Book Online - [Book Online](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/#chat): Send the job details and postcode to TMB Electrics. ## Related pages - [Full sitemap](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/sitemap.md): Complete machine-readable page directory.
