Your local electricians in Rumney
Solid family homes with electrics that have seen several upgrades.
Rumney's interwar and post-war semis and terraces have been family homes for generations. Most have been rewired or partly upgraded at least once, with extensions, conservatories and new kitchens added along the way.
When tripping or a dead circuit appears, the cause is often where old and new meet. We trace it carefully, fix it and confirm the rest of the circuit is safe to use.
Common call-outs in Rumney:
- Tripping after an extension
- Conservatory power faults
- Dead sockets downstairs
- Electric shower circuits
- Old consumer unit faults
- Garden lighting failures

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.
