Your local electricians in Danescourt
Homes built in the 70s and 80s, many still on their first consumer unit.
Danescourt is a settled estate of family homes built mostly in the 1970s and 1980s. Many still have their original consumer unit, often with only partial RCD protection or none at all, alongside conservatories, kitchens and extensions added since.
When a fault appears, an older board can make it harder to isolate. We find the faulty circuit, restore power to the rest of the home and give you honest advice on whether your board needs upgrading.
Common call-outs in Danescourt:
- Original consumer unit failing
- Conservatory circuit faults
- Tripping with no obvious cause
- Kitchen appliance faults
- Garage power problems

What to do in the first few minutes, while a qualified electrician is on the way to you.
Switch off at the main switch
If it is safe to reach and your hands are dry, turn off the main switch on your consumer unit. That cuts power to the whole property.
Do not touch anything damaged
Keep away from sockets, switches or cables that are sparking, hot, buzzing or wet. Never try to fix them yourself.
Unplug what you safely can
If one circuit keeps tripping, unplug the appliances on it. A faulty kettle, heater or washing machine is often the cause.
Check if neighbours have power
If the whole street is dark it is a network fault. Call 105 to report it to the network operator. If it is only you, call us.
Smoke or fire: get out, call 999
If you see smoke or flames, leave the property straight away and call 999. Do not go back in. Call us once everyone is safe.
Call us and keep everyone clear
Tell us what you can see, hear or smell. We will talk you through staying safe and give you an honest arrival time.
Warning signs
Scorch marks, buzzing or a hot smell from your board?
Switch off at the main switch if it is safe to do so, keep clear, and call us straight away. Damage like this is exactly what we are called out to fix.
