Your local electricians in Whitchurch
A village feel, a real mix of homes, and electrics of every age.
Whitchurch still feels like a village, but its housing spans more than a century: Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the old village centre, 1930s semis on the surrounding roads and newer homes on redeveloped land. Each era brings its own typical faults.
We know what to look for in each, from tired lighting circuits in older terraces to overloaded kitchens in extended semis. We fix the fault properly and test the circuit before we leave.
Common call-outs in Whitchurch:
- Faults in Victorian terraces
- 1930s semi tripping
- Merthyr Road shop power loss
- Kitchen extension circuits
- Flickering lighting
- Garden and garage power

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 Whitchurch. Still unsure? Call us and a qualified electrician will talk it through.
Can you help shops on Merthyr Road outside opening hours?
Yes. We attend early mornings, evenings and overnight so your business is ready to open.
Our 1930s semi was rewired years ago. Why is it tripping now?
Rewired homes can still trip because of a faulty appliance, water in an outside fitting or an extension added later. We test to find the cause.

Yes, from the old village centre to the newer homes on redeveloped land.
