Frequently asked questions

What constitutes an electrical emergency?

An electrical emergency includes any fault that poses an immediate risk to safety or business operations, such as a complete loss of power, a burning smell from sockets or consumer units, buzzing or crackling noises from your fuse board, or water ingress impacting electrical wiring.

Are your emergency electricians fully accredited?

Yes. Newton Electrical and Mechanical is a fully certified NICEIC Approved Contractor. All of our emergency engineers are fully qualified, insured professionals who carry physical registration cards and work strictly in accordance with current BS7671 UK wiring regulations.

How quickly can your emergency electrician reach my Leicester property?

We treat serious power failures and hazardous wiring faults as urgent priorities. Our engineers are active across Leicester and Leicestershire daily, allowing us to dispatch a local, qualified technician rapidly to secure and repair your electrical system.

Do you charge a callout fee for emergency visits?

We maintain complete transparency with our pricing. We charge a standard, competitive callout fee to cover the rapid dispatch of our certified engineer, diagnostic testing, and early fault isolation. We provide a clear quotation before any major replacement parts are fitted.

What should I do while waiting for an emergency electrician?

If it is safe to do so, turn off the electrical supply at your main consumer unit (fuse board) if you suspect a serious fault like a smoking socket or water leak. Avoid touching any exposed wires, sparking terminals, or metallic wet surfaces, and keep children and pets clear of the affected area.

What are the benefits of using a multi-discipline contractor for emergencies?

Many emergency faults (such as failed immersion heaters, electric showers, or boiler programmers) require both plumbing and high-voltage electrical expertise. By employing both mechanical heating engineers and NICEIC electricians in-house, we diagnose and resolve both hydraulic and electrical faults without subcontractor delays.

Sam responded promptly to my air con enquiry and even visited me at short notice to firm up the scope. We were fitted in quickly, and Dave managed the job well, with the team carrying out a nice tidy install. Would definitely use again in the future and I will certainly recommend to others.

After struggling with underfloor heating that had been left in a broken state by a previous company, my dad endured almost no heating throughout the winter. It was a frustrating and uncomfortable situation until Sam from Newton Electrical and Mechanical came to the rescue. Sam was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He quickly identified the issues, including faulty wiring and broken pumps, and thoroughly cleaned the entire system. Within just two weeks, the system was completely fixed and working perfectly. The level of care, expertise, and efficiency from Newton Electrical and Mechanical was outstanding. I can’t thank them enough for the difference they made. I’d highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable and skilled professionals for their heating or electrical needs.

We used Newton Electrical and Mechanical for all of our electrical and plumbing work in a large home renovation project and I would thoroughly recommend them. Sam Dave and colleagues have all been knowledgable, reliable, trustworthy and communicative and take pride in completing work to a high standard, a pleasure to work with. As with any large project dealing with multiple trades, some things didn’t quite go to plan, but I found that any issues that Newton Electrical could help with were resolved quickly and without fuss. It’s very hard to find tradespeople you can trust, but if you’re reading this, congrats- you’ve just found some.
