Main information
What it includes
Locating the source of a burning smell linked to the electrical installation: switchboard, sockets, wiring or fixed appliances.
Typical process
Tell us where the smell is coming from → we recommend cutting power to that area if it's safe to do so → priority travel → locating the source → repair.
Scope and availability
Treated as a priority given the risk involved; the scope of the repair is confirmed once the source is located.
Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I smell burning and can't tell where it's from?
If you can do it safely, switch off the main RCD and contact us as soon as possible; don't wait for it to happen again.
Could it be an appliance rather than the installation itself?
Yes, that's one of the most common causes; during the visit we check whether the source is the fixed installation or a plugged-in appliance.
Do you always need to cut the power while sorting it out?
Depends on the source and severity; we assess it on site to avoid unnecessary disruption without taking risks.
