Your local electricians in Pontcanna
Beautiful period homes need careful hands when the electrics go wrong.
Pontcanna's large Victorian and Edwardian houses, many now divided into apartments, have high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and original features that owners want protected. Emergency repairs should not leave a trail of damage behind them.
We locate faults with testing rather than guesswork, keep disruption to a minimum and make good as we go. In converted buildings we also check that each flat's supply is correctly separated and labelled.
Common call-outs in Pontcanna:
- Power loss in converted flats
- Faults in period houses
- Ceiling rose and light failures
- Café and restaurant faults
- Tripping in older boards
- Water from upstairs flats

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.
