Services / Emergency Electrician
Power failure, tripped board, burning smell, electrical fault — call Abdou any time. Fast response across Chelmsford and Essex.
Electrical emergencies don't keep office hours. If you have no power, a circuit that keeps tripping, sparking or burning smells from sockets, or any situation that feels unsafe — call us immediately.
We cover emergency call-outs across Chelmsford, Brentwood, Basildon, Harlow, Epping, Witham, and all areas within 30 minutes. We aim to reach you within 1–2 hours during evenings and weekends.
What counts as an emergency: complete loss of power, partial power loss affecting critical areas, tripping circuit breakers that won't reset, burning smells or discolouration around sockets or fuse boards, sparking from any electrical fitting.
What to do while you wait: if you smell burning, turn off the affected circuit at the consumer unit. Don't use the socket or fitting. If you're unsure whether something is safe, switch off the main power at the consumer unit and call us.
We're honest about callout costs — we'll tell you the rate before we come. No surprises.
What's the fastest you can get to me?
In most cases within 1–2 hours across our coverage area. Call and we'll give you an honest ETA.
Is there an emergency callout fee?
Yes — we'll tell you the rate before we come. No surprises.
My power has gone off — what should I do?
Check your consumer unit first — a tripped breaker or blown RCD is the most common cause. If you can't reset it, call us.
I smell burning from a socket — is it urgent?
Yes. Turn off the circuit at the consumer unit and call us straight away. Don't use the socket.
