When do we need an emergency electrician?
People in Basingstoke, Kempshott, Hatch Warren, Chineham, Popley, Oakley, Hook, Fleet and Tadley call when power has gone, a board is hot, or a circuit will not reset. JD Electricals manages the urgent visit from first call through to the agreed repair.
- No power in part of the houseA dead downstairs ring, a kitchen that has gone dark, or a trip that will not stay on is the usual reason we are asked to attend.
- Burning smell or hot socketsA warm faceplate, scorch marks, or a smell at the board needs someone on site to isolate the circuit and find the loose connection.
- Landlord or tenant with a live faultA rented house in Popley or Chineham with no lights, no heat, or a failed shower circuit is booked as urgent work, not a planned test.
- Storm damage and water at fittingsRain in an outside light, a soaked extractor, or a flooded utility room is isolated first, then repaired once the fitting is dry enough to work on.
What happens on the day
You speak with us, we arrive at the house, and we stay with the fault until it is safe and, where we can, working again.
- Arrival and isolationWe check in with you, look at the board and the failed circuit, and isolate anything that is live and unsafe before tools come out.
- Find and repairWe test back from the trip or the dead outlet, name the failed part, and carry out the repair that can be finished on that visit.
- Certificate and handoverWhere the repair needs paperwork, we issue the certificate before we leave and talk you through what was changed and what still needs a later visit.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppHow much does an emergency electrician cost?
Emergency electrician work with JD Electricals starts at £90 per hour. That is a starting rate for time on site, not a set price for every fault.
Do you come out at night?
The visit is booked with us for a slot we can actually attend, including outside usual hours when we are free to travel.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
No power, a board that will not reset, a burning smell, hot sockets, water at a fitting, or a circuit that keeps tripping are the jobs we treat as urgent.
Will you replace the fuse board on the same visit?
Only if the board is unsafe and we have the right consumer unit with us. A planned fuse board change is a separate booking, not an add-on to a fault call.
Who manages an emergency callout?
JD Electricals remains responsible from the first call through to completion.
