Posted on GoogleProfessional and friendly. Highly recommended
Posted on GoogleI had a leak from the flat above, which caused all the electricity in my flat to go off, and I was honestly very frightened. The electrician came quickly, safely dealt with the dangerous issues, and got everything sorted. They were professional, helpful, and very reassuring. The price was very reasonable. I'd definitely recommend them.

Questions About Emergency Call-Outs
Find quick answers to common questions about our emergency electrician services in Manchester and beyond.
Straight answers to the questions Manchester customers ask us most about emergency call-outs.
How much is an emergency electrician in Manchester?
A call-out costs £110–£150 on a weekday, £150–£220 on a weekday evening, £175–£245 at night, £160–£235 at the weekend and £200–£305 on a bank holiday. That covers travel and the first hour on site. Extra hours are £65–£110. The price is agreed on the phone before anyone travels, and any repair is priced for your approval before work starts.
Is it a power cut or an electrical fault in my Manchester home?
If your neighbours or the street lights are out too, it is most likely a network fault: call Electricity North West on 105. If only your home, one circuit or one appliance has lost power, check your main switch and any prepayment meter. If those are fine, the fault may be inside the property or on the incoming supply, so call TRACEFORM.
Do you cover Manchester city centre flats and Salford Quays?
Yes. We attend apartments across the M1 to M4 city-centre postcodes and Salford Quays, and work with concierges and managing agents on access and landlord supplies.
Do you offer a 24 hour emergency electrician in Manchester?
Yes. The emergency line is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We are typically on site in under 60 minutes. A night call-out costs £175–£245, agreed on the phone before an engineer sets off.
Do you work for Manchester landlords, letting agents and businesses?
Yes. We handle urgent tenant-reported faults for landlords and letting agents, and out-of-hours call-outs for shops, offices and other businesses that need a commercial electrician in Manchester. Every visit ends with a written note of what we found and what we fixed.
