Commercial and landlord emergencies
Power back on, premises safe, and you back to business.
When a business loses power it is not just the lights. Tills, card machines, refrigeration, IT, security and emergency lighting can all be affected. We understand the pressure that puts on you, and we work to restore what matters most first.
Our electricians work on single and three-phase supplies, distribution boards, sub-mains and emergency lighting. We find the fault, restore power to safe circuits as quickly as possible and keep disruption to customers, staff and tenants to a minimum, including out-of-hours visits.
Call us if you notice:
- Total loss of power on site
- Three-phase supply problems
- Tripping distribution boards
- Fridges or cold rooms off
- Emergency lighting faults
- Tenant reporting no power
Common causes
Common causes of business power loss
We test properly to find the real cause, so the problem is fixed rather than patched.
Lost phase
Losing one phase of a three-phase supply can stop motors, kitchen equipment and air conditioning, and needs fast diagnosis.
Overheated connections
Heavily loaded boards and busbars can develop hot joints that fail without warning.
Equipment faults
Faulty kitchen appliances, chillers, signage or machinery can trip whole circuits or boards.
Water ingress
Roof leaks, flooding and burst pipes can reach boards, trunking and fittings in commercial premises.
Supply issues
Problems on the incoming supply need the network operator. We confirm it and help you report it.
Before we arrive
Stay safe until we arrive.
What to do right now about commercial and business power loss, while a qualified electrician is on the way to you.
Check if it is the network
Look at neighbouring businesses and the street lights. If they are off too, call 105 to report it.
Check your main boards
Look for tripped breakers or RCDs at the main and distribution boards, without forcing anything back on.
Make the premises safe
Check the emergency lighting has come on, keep exits clear and move customers and staff away from any hazards.
Protect stock and equipment
Keep fridge and freezer doors closed, and switch off sensitive equipment so it is protected when the power returns.
Water or a burning smell?
If water has reached the electrics, or a board smells hot, keep everyone away and do not reset anything.
Call us with the details
Tell us what is off, any recent work and what is most critical, so we can prioritise it.
Warning signs
Distribution board hot, buzzing or scorched?
Overheated connections in busy commercial boards can fail suddenly and are a fire risk. Keep staff clear, do not reset anything and call us straight away.
