Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

We treat genuine electrical emergencies across Portobello as top priority. Depending on your exact EH15 location and our current emergency queue, we aim to attend within the hour for critical safety issues such as burning smells, exposed live conductors or complete power loss with no obvious cause. Call 07940 071963 immediately.

If safe to do so, switch off the main switch on your consumer unit. Evacuate the area if you can smell burning or see sparks. Do not use sockets or switches in the affected area. If there is any risk of fire, call 999 first. We will advise you on further safety steps when you call us on 07940 071963.

Yes — we cover all EH15 postcodes for emergency electrical call-outs in Portobello, including Promenade, Bath Street, Brighton Place, Bellfield Street and every surrounding neighbourhood along the Edinburgh coast. Our electricians know the seaside area well.

In most cases, yes — we carry the parts and equipment needed to restore power following the most common emergency scenarios in Portobello properties. In some situations, such as extensive flood damage from coastal storms or fire damage, the property may need to remain isolated until a full assessment and repair can be carried out safely.

Yes — we provide written incident reports, photographic evidence and formal electrical certificates following emergency work in Portobello. These are accepted by all major insurers for EH15 property claims involving electrical incidents, including coastal and storm damage policies.

Yes — Portobello coastal properties can experience accelerated corrosion of electrical fittings, outdoor sockets, garden lighting and consumer unit terminals due to salt air exposure. This corrosion can lead to loose connections, increased resistance and arcing — all potential fire risks. If you notice any signs of rust on your consumer unit, green discolouration on copper conductors or frequent tripping in your Portobello home, call us immediately on 07940 071963 for an emergency assessment.
