Your local electricians in Grangetown
Big families, busy homes and terraces that work hard every day.
Grangetown's terraces are home to many larger households, which means busy kitchens, more appliances and electric showers in near constant use. Circuits that coped in the past can struggle with modern demand.
We find out whether a fault is overloading, a failing appliance or damage to the wiring, then fix it properly. Where homes have damp in rear rooms or extensions, we check that it has not reached the electrics.
Common call-outs in Grangetown:
- Electric shower circuit tripping
- Busy kitchen circuits overloading
- Damp affecting sockets
- Corner shop power loss
- Lights out on one floor
- Older fuse boards failing

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.

Your questions, answered
Common questions from customers in Grangetown. Still unsure? Call us and a qualified electrician will talk it through.
Our shower keeps tripping the electrics. Is it safe to use?
No. Stop using it until it has been checked. It may be the shower unit, the isolator or a circuit that cannot handle the load, and each needs a different fix.
We have damp in the kitchen extension. Could it affect the electrics?
Yes. Damp can corrode connections and cause tripping or shocks. We test the circuits and fittings in damp areas and make them safe.
Can you help our corner shop keep its fridges running?
Yes. We prioritise refrigeration and tills so you lose as little stock and trade as possible.
