IMPORTANT

If you smell burning or can hear a crackling noise, call us immediately as a possible arcing fault may be present and possibly cause a fire.

Electrical fires can be caused by ‘arcing’, which is when improperly made connections, damaged insulation, crushed cables, DIY mishaps, vermin damage, and other factors can lead to overheating and ignite nearby flammable materials.

Government statistics show that electricity causes more than 13,000 fires every year in the UK, which is nearly one in five of all fires that harm people or cause damage to property.
