Water Damage
A burst pipe, an overflowing bath or a flood can send water into ceiling lights, sockets and even your consumer unit. Water conducts electricity, so wet wiring can cause electric shocks, short circuits and fires.
Keep clear of any wet electrical fittings. If you can reach the consumer unit safely, without standing in water, switch off the main switch. Don't touch switches or sockets with wet hands, and never walk into a flooded room where the electrics may still be live.
Our electricians isolate the affected circuits, inspect and dry out fittings, then carry out insulation resistance testing to confirm each circuit is safe before it's switched back on. Damaged accessories and cables are replaced, and we can give you a written report for your insurer.

Your electrician calls when they're on the way, with an estimated arrival time.
We make everything safe, find the fault and give you a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
Response times depend on your location, traffic and the time of day. If there is smoke, fire or someone has had an electric shock, call 999 first.
Not until the affected circuits have been inspected and tested. Water can sit inside fittings and cables, so a circuit that seems dry can still be dangerous.
Many home insurance policies cover damage caused by escape of water, but every policy is different. We can give you a written report of what we found and the work we did to support your claim.
Circuits that test safe can often be switched back on the same day. Fittings that are badly soaked may need time to dry out or need replacing first.
