Emergency Electrician Hackney

020 4600 5848Round-the-clock electrical help across Hackney
Electrical faults don’t keep office hours, so neither do we. Our Hackney team works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, bank holidays included, dealing with dead circuits, tripping boards and anything that smells or feels unsafe. When you call, you reach an electrician, not a call centre, and we tell you what we think is wrong before we set off.
We are on Hackney properties every week, so the local quirks are familiar ground: rewired-over circuits in the Clapton and Stoke Newington terraces, dated boards in the Homerton and London Fields estates, and the heavier three-phase and shared-supply setups in the Hackney Wick studios and converted units. Knowing what we are likely to find means we arrive with the right parts and lose less time guessing. We handle electrical repairs, fuse box replacements and full rewiring, and look after landlords and letting agents across the E5, E8, E9 and N16 rental market.
Faults we get called out to in Hackney
- Sudden power cuts or part of the property going dead
- A board or RCD that trips the moment you reset it
- Burning smells from sockets, switches or light fittings
- Sparking, buzzing or sockets warm to the touch
- A scorched or failing consumer unit
- Electrics hit by a leak or water ingress
- An urgent isolation to make a property safe
Whatever the hour, a Hackney emergency electrician can get you safe again and explain what happens next.
We make it safe before we fix it
A live fault can start a fire or give a serious shock, so the first job on arrival is to isolate it and make the area safe, before any repair. From there we test properly, work to the current UK wiring regulations (BS 7671), and explain what we are doing in plain terms. We fix faults at the cause, not with a temporary patch that fails again next week.
What you can expect from us
- The fault isolated first, so the immediate risk is gone
- A clear explanation, and the price, before any work starts
- Repairs done to full UK standards and tested to confirm they are sound
- The right certificate where a job needs one
If you can smell burning or see scorching around a socket or your fuse box, switch off at the main if you safely can and call 020 4600 5848.

How to choose an emergency electrician in Hackney
Three quick checks before you let anyone touch your electrics.
Check they are registered
Look for NAPIT registration (or NICEIC) and Part P. It means the work is independently assessed and can be certified and notified to building control. Our Hackney electricians are NAPIT registered and Part P qualified.
Make sure they are really 24/7
A genuine emergency electrician answers at 2am, not just office hours. Ask about response times and any out-of-hours rates before you book, so nothing is a surprise.
Get the price up front
A trustworthy electrician confirms the cost before starting and never adds charges afterwards. We agree the price with you first, every time.
What Hackney customers say
Hackney customers rate us 5 stars on Google, Trustpilot and Yell, and they tend to mention the same things: we turn up when we say we will, we keep the place tidy, and we are straight about the cost. If you want to check us first, the company and its directors are listed on Companies House.
I called for a quote, and within hours, they had someone out to assess the job. They’re also affordable!

Electrical work and the rules in Hackney
Some electrical work in a Hackney home has to meet specific rules, and using a registered electrician keeps you on the right side of them.
- Part P building regulations. New circuits, a consumer unit (fuse box) replacement, and work in kitchens or bathrooms are notifiable. As registered electricians we self-certify the work and notify building control for you, so there is no separate Hackney Council inspection to arrange.
- Landlord EICR. If you let a flat or terrace in Hackney, an Electrical Installation Condition Report is a legal requirement in England. Rented homes need one at least every five years, and you must give tenants a copy, which matters across the busy E5, E8 and N16 rental market.
- BS 7671 (18th Edition). All our work is carried out to the current UK wiring regulations, which matters on the older Victorian wiring common around Clapton and Stoke Newington, and notifiable jobs come with the right certificate.
- When you get paperwork. New circuits, fuse box changes, rewires, PAT testing and landlord safety checks all finish with the correct certification.
